1 Introduction. Solar cells employing lead-halide perovskites have reached in a short time span of 10 years striking power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of 26.7% in single-junction devices. [] In addition, the mixing of halides enables to tune the bandgap of perovskites optimally for tandem devices, together with silicon even higher PCEs of 34.6% were achieved.
As shown by the IMVS measurement results in Fig. 5, the cell-A and cell-B have characteristics frequencies at about 281 Hz and 126 Hz, which can then correspond to the decay time constants of 3.6 ms and 7.9 ms, respectively.
These are the same values as the spheres in Figure 3c but now plotted as a function of the external voltage. In general, the decay times span a small range with constant decay times from 0 to 0.8 V.
The solutions for the rise and decay time of the transient photovoltage follow from the inverse eigenvalues of a matrix and can be related to physical mechanisms such as extraction, recombination and capacitive charging and discharging of the electrodes.
Applied to wide-bandgap coevaporated perovskite solar cells, this procedure shows recombination decay times in the order of 40–300 ns which is significantly lower than the TRPL decay times at the same carrier concentration showing that capacitive effects prolong the latter.
We observe that the rise and decay times predict losses in Jsc of about 10% as well as minor losses in FF. The general concept of the matrix model will be applicable to a variety of small-signal transient and frequency-domain methods that are frequently used to analyze the electronic properties of halide perovskite solar cells.

As seen in Supplementary Fig. S3, the average EQE is about 75% in the wavelength range of 350–750 nm. This average EQE is slightly larger than the previous result for an inverted perovskite structure that yields around 12.5% solar cell efficiency 17.

In all kinds of solar cells, transient photovoltage (TPV) decay measurements have been used to determine charge carrier lifetimes and to quantify recombination processes and orders. However, in particular, for thin-film devices with a high capacitance, the time constants observed in common TPV measurements do not describe recombination dynamics ...
The described TPV technique aims to promote a small perturbation of the Fermi level of the solar cell, while the V OC decay records the full decay from a given light intensity until the V OC decays zero, in other words, all the change in V OC over time is measured. The main difference, in results, between both techniques, is that TPV technique leads to mono …
