Current-voltage measurement and impedance spectroscopy (IS) are two closely related techniques. In this talk, we first show how different external contacts in Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) change the extracted-current transport resistance and the corresponding effects in the IS and the jV curve.[1] Hysteresis is the difference between the jV scan measured form short circuit to open circuit conditions (forward scan) and the opposite direction scan (reverse scan). Normal hysteresis, improved FF and Voc in the reverse scan compared to the forward scan, is commonly observed in PSCs. This hysteresis has been related to the low-frequency capacitance in the IS response.[2, 3] Inverted hysteresis, which improves FF and Voc in the forward scan, as well as negative capacitance at the IS low-frequency domain, are also familiar features in PSC, but their origin is still under discussion. In this talk, we show the emergence of these responses in two separate experiments employing different PSCs formulations. By mean of the Surface Polarization Model[4, 5] we expose that these features have a time constant associated with ions/vacancies kinetics interaction with the surface. These interactions increase the interfacial recombination, reducing the recombination resistance obtained by the IS measurements and provoking a flattening of the j-V curve.[6]
