Decoupling of Implied and External VOC Due to Ionic Movement Explaining Transient VOC Overshoot in Perovskite Solar Cells

An overshoot of the open‐circuit voltage (VOC) after switching off the illumination is observed for perovskite solar cells, while the simultaneously measured photoluminescence (PL) intensity decreases continuously. Similarly, a dip in the photovoltage transient is detected at the beginning of a ligh...

description An overshoot of the open‐circuit voltage (VOC) after switching off the illumination is observed for perovskite solar cells, while the simultaneously measured photoluminescence (PL) intensity decreases continuously. Similarly, a dip in the photovoltage transient is detected at the beginning of a light pulse added to a continuous bias light, while the PL increases. This decoupling of external and implied VOC (as derived from the PL data) originates from a strong gradient of the majority charge carrier quasi‐Fermi level in the vicinity of a nonideal contact. This gradient reduces the external voltage much more than the implied voltage. The VOC overshoot is observed whenever the gradient decreases faster than when the separation of the quasi‐Fermi levels is reduced by charge carrier recombination. As shown in previous work, in perovskite solar cells, the magnitude of the gradient is strongly influenced by mobile ionic species and it decreases upon light soaking. This is why a fully light‐soaked device does not show this kind of VOC overshoot.
