Perovskite semiconductors became an interesting field to overcome the limitations of standard silicon based photovoltaic (PV) technologies. However, it is shown that performance-limitations are largely caused by significant nonradiative recombination at the perovskite/organic electron transport layer junctions. Especially the extensively used perovskite/C60 junctions appear to have a reduction in PLQY within the first 1nm of C60, which indicates nonradiative across-interface recombinations [1]. In this work, we investigate for the origin of these recombinations, e.g., packing faults in the first C60 layer or inhomogeneous electrostatics. Also, electron-transfer-rates are discussed. Therefore, we use DFT calculations, including structure optimization of a perovskite/C60 supercell. For reduced computational effort we also investigate for empirical Tight-Binding-Models to access heterostructure-modeling and features as transport properties.
