The development of organic-inorganic lead halide perovskites with very large efficiency requires us to understand the operation of the solar cell. This class of semiconductors presents remarkable bulk electronic and optical properties, but the contacts to the device are a key aspect of the operation and show important dynamic interactions. We describe the results of analysis of kinetic phenomena using frequency modulated techniques. First with impedance spectroscopy we provide an interpretation of capacitances as a function of frequency both in dark and under light, and we discuss the meaning of resistances and how they are primarily related to the operation of contacts in many cases [1]. The capacitance reveals a very large charge accumulation at the electron contact, which has a great impact in the cell measurements, both in photovoltage decays, recombination, and hysteresis. We also shows the identification of the impedance of ionic diffusion by measuring single crystal samples [2]. Working in samples with lateral contacts, we can identify the effect of ionic drift on changes of photoluminescence, by the creation of recombination centers in deffects of the structure [3]. We also address new methods of characterization of the optical response by means of light modulated spectroscopy. The IMPS is able to provide important influence on the measured photocurrent. We describe important insights to the measurement of EQE in frequency modulated conditions, which shows that the quantum efficiency can be variable at very low frequencies [4].
