The current generation of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) is predominantly limited by non-radiative recombination, either through trap-assisted recombination in the absorber layer, or via minority carrier recombination at the interface to the transport layers. Using transient and absolute photoluminescence imaging we are able to visualize all relevant non-radiative recombination pathways in planar pin-type PSCs. We find significant quasi-Fermi level splitting losses (135 meV) in the perovskite bulk, while interface recombination results in an additional energy loss of 80 meV at each individual interface. These losses define the open-circuit voltage of the complete cell. Inserting ultrathin interlayers between the perovskite and transport layers allows substantial reduction of these interfacial losses at both the p-and-n-contacts. Using this knowledge and approach, we demonstrate stable 1 cm2 PSCs surpassing 20% efficiency (19.83% certified) with record fill factor (> 81%), high V_OC (1.17V) and near unity manufacturing yield.
