Halide perovskite optoelectronic devices are generating excitement for new light emission and photovoltaic applications. The performance of these devices are approaching or even exceeding lab based record efficencies of competitor technologies. However, operational stability remains an issue and devices drop in performance over time, yet these degradation processes are poorly understood. Here, I will present results showing capabilities to image the local performance losses in LEDs and solar cells over time under operation conditions. Through combinations of luminescence microscopy techniques, we extract key performance parameters including quasi-fermi-level splitting, local spectral changes and local current-voltage maps. We correlate these properties with local chemical and structural changes to elucidate mechanistic understanding of the degradation pathways. We draw generalised conclusions about device instabilities, in turn allowing judicious design of devices to better mitigate these effects. These studies demonstrate powerful platforms for elucidating device behaviour and the steps required to push towards long term stability.
