Abstract

Impedance spectroscopy (IS) is emerging as a valuable tool for the characterization of perovskite-based solar cells (PSCs). However, earlier reports of the IS response of mesoscopic PSCs have revealed notable discrepancies, with the interpretation of their spectra having been generalized to planar PSC devices despite fundamental differences in the device operation. The present study analyzes the impedance response of planar PSC devices through the characterization of cells employing a variety of constituent layers. Distinctive high-frequency and low-frequency features are observed in IS measurements and are attributed to the charge recombination across the perovskite/contact interfaces and the dielectric relaxation in the interfacial regions of the perovskite layer, respectively. Comparison of the characteristic IS time constants with time-resolved photoluminescence (TRPL) and open-circuit voltage decay (OCVD) measurements further substantiates the proposed impedance model. This work provides an empirical...
