The transmission of sub band gap photons as well as thermalisation losses due to phononic relaxations of hot charge carriers, resulting in the Shockley-Queisser limit of the energy conversion efficiency, are the major theoretical bottlenecks of solar cells based on classical semiconductors. However, strongly correlated materials such as perovskites are a promising candidate to exceed this limit by exploiting the nature of polaronic charge carriers, i.e. the existence of long-living intraband excitations [1]. In fact, the efficiency of halide perovskite based solar cells has increased tremendously during the last decade [2]. Nonetheless, the knowledge about their correlated transport phenomena is rather limited but highly desirable to steer the properties of prospective devices.
We investigate transition-metal oxide perovskite heterojunctions with various Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) techniques, i.e. High-resolution and Analytical TEM, to elucidate the character of the charge separating interface. Additionally, differences of focused ion beam and conventionally prepared specimens are discussed.
