Single-junction perovskite solar cells have reached efficiencies larger than 25%. Despite these great advancements, some drawbacks remain such as the fact that the material contains lead. Questions related to transient effects are not conclusively solved in perovskite optoelectronic devices either.
In this talk, I will discuss how in-situ and in-operando measurements can help to relate various measurement data to device performance. Measurements refer to photo- and electroluminescence, optoelectronic transients, impedance spectroscopy, and AFM-based characterization on the nano- and microscale. Materials under investigation are lead-halide perovskite compositions that show photoinduced phase segregation and lead-free double perovskites. Discussed devices are solar cells, also under reverse bias, and light-emitting diodes under pulsed operation. The characterization experiments are accompanied by device simulations and data-based modelling. Focus is on the role the mixed ionic-electron conductivity plays on the working principle of devices and how performance-limiting processes can be identified. The presented insights are of relevance for both, scientists working on device fabrication and researcher looking into the device physics.
