Investigating spatial macroscopic metastability of perovskite solar cells with voltage dependent photoluminescence imaging

George Koutsourakis et al.

Summary: Metastability in perovskite solar cell (PSC) devices was investigated through current-voltage (I-V) testing and voltage dependent photoluminescence (PL-V) imaging. Advanced I-V parameter acquisition methods are needed for accurate PSC performance evaluation, as misleading results can occur when using simple fast I-V curves. The study also distinguishes between metastability and degradation, an important step for reporting stabilized efficiencies of PSC devices. The research highlights the need to revisit existing quantitative PL imaging methods and assumptions in PSC devices.
