Electroluminescence Dynamics in Perovskite Solar Cells Reveals Giant Overshoot Effect

Wolfgang Richard Tress, Marius Franckevicius

High performance of both photovoltaic and electroluminescent devices requires low nonradiative recombination losses. In perovskites, such loses strongly depend on the carrier traps related to the mobile ions and vacancies, causing I-V hysteresis of solar c ...
