Charge Carrier Generation and Recombination in Organic and Perovskite Solar Cells — •Andreas Baumann — Bayerisches Zentrum für Angewandte Energieforschung (ZAE Bayern), Magdalene-Schoch-Str. 3, D-97074 Würzburg

The new star on the photovoltaic (PV) horizon, are the so called organometal halide perovskite solar cells. This new kind of thin-film PV technology has experienced a tremendous, yet not seen increase in power conversion efficiency (PCE) compared to other types of PV technologies. Up to now the solar cell efficiency on lab scale could be improved from 3.8% in 2008 to above 20% in 2015 being already competitive with commercially available PV technologies. Especially this boost in PCE values has attracted attention of many researchers from all different PV research fields. Thereby, perovskite PV is one of the most promising thin film PV technologies regarding low-cost manufacturing combined with high PCE. However, the working principle of these solar cells is yet not completely understood and is strongly discussed in literature. Phenomena, such as the often observed anomalous hysteresis in the current-voltage characteristics or the giant dielectric constant and its impact on charge carrier generation and recombination are highly debated topics with so far different given possible explanations.

In this tutorial, the processes of charge carrier generation and recombination in perovskite solar cells will be highlighted and compared to those in well studied organic solar cells. Thereby, the aim is to give an overview of the published data on these processes in order to present the current status of research.
