During my lecture I will present our latest results on the characterization of different type of contacts for perovskite solar cells using advanced photo-induced time resolved techniques. Using PICE (Photo-induced charge extraction), TPV (Photo-induced Transient PhotoVoltage) and other techniques, we have been able to distinguish between capacitive electronic charge, carrier recombination, and ion migration. Moreover, we have been able to stablish the existing relationship between the different intrinsic properties of the perovskite material. Moreover, the results allow us to compare different materials, used as hole transport materials (HTM) and electron transport materians ( ETM), and the relationship between their HOMO and LUMO energy levels, the solar cell efficiency and the charge losses due to interfacial charge recombination processes occurring at the device under illumination. These techniques and the measurements carried out are key to understand the device function and improve further the efficiency and stability on perovskite based solar cells.
