Unraveling the Impact of Rubidium Incorporation on the Transport-Recombination Mechanisms in Highly Efficient Perovskite Solar Cells by Small-Perturbation Techniques
We
applied intensity-modulated photocurrent spectroscopy (IMPS) and intensity-modulated
photovoltage spectroscopy (IMVS) techniques to explore the effect
of rubidium (Rb) incorporation into lead halide perovskite films on
the photovoltaic parameters of perovskite solar cells (PSC). IMPS
responses revealed the transport mechanisms at the TiO<sub>2</sub>/perovskite interface and inside the perovskite absorber films. For
recombination time constants, IMVS showed that the two perovskite
solar cells differ in terms of trap densities that are responsible
for recombination loss. Impedance spectroscopy carried out under illumination
at open circuit for a range of intensities showed that the cell capacitance
was dominated by the geometric capacitance of the perovskite layer.
Our systematic studies revealed that Rb containing PSCs exhibit enhanced
charge transport, slower charge recombination, faster photocurrent
transient response, and lower capacitance than the Rb-free samples
