Time-Delayed-Collection-Field (TDCF) experiments are applied to working perovskite (CH3NH3PbI3−xClx) solar cells with different device architectures. In TDCF, charges generated by a nanosecond optical pulse are extracted by a large reverse voltage pulse. Thereby, the delay between the photoexcitation and the extraction is tuned over a wide range, with a minimal delay of 10ns. This allows to probe the temporal evolution of the photogenerated charges and quantify nongeminate recombination losses in the device. For comparison, the charge carrier dynamics of an all-organic device (PTB7:PC71BM) with similar performance is studied under comparable illumination conditions. We find that the predominant recombination mechanism in perovskite solar cells is very different from that of the organic cell. In particular, while the charge carrier dynamics in the all-organic cell can be described by purely bimolecular recombination with a time and fluence independent BMR coefficient, the dynamics in mesoporous-TiO2/Perovskite/Spiro and planar PEDOT:PSS/Perovskite/PCBM devices is characterized by a slow-down of the recombination rate over several microseconds.
