Perovskite-based solar cells are emerging as low cost and efficient light-to-electricity conversion devices. Understandingthe charge transfer dynamics at different time scales in the newly emerging perovskite solar cells is essential for further optimization. Here, we present our investigations on the charge separation and charge injection dynamics at the CH3NH3PbI3 perovskite/metal oxide interface by using time-resolved photoluminescence (TRPL) and laser flash photolysis measurements. TRPL results showed a clear and fast decay (~ 100 ps and ~ 1 ns decay times) that is almost independent of the metal oxide material (either TiO2 or Al2O3) at the interface [see the upper part of the figure], while the transient absorption signal continued to be detectable up to few milliseconds [bottom part of the figure]. The data indicate the fast separation of electron-hole pairs within the perovskite material, but electrons and holes are long-living after their separation. Low-temperature time-resolved as well as time-integrated PL measurements will be discussed in this presentation. The effect of perovskite deposition methods (namely sequential deposition and single-step spin coating) on the interfacial charge dynamics will also be highlighted. The data on the UV-damage and photostability of the perovskite material will also be discussed.
