Modulation of Charge Recombination in CsPbBr₃ Perovskite Films with Electrochemical Bias.

ABSTRACT: The charging of a mesoscopic TiO₂ layer in a metal halide perovskite solar cell can influence the overall power conversion efficiency. By employing CsPbBr₃ films deposited on a mesoscopic TiO₂ film, we have succeeded in probing the influence of electrochemical bias on the charge carrier recombination process. The transient absorption spectroscopy experiments conducted at different applied potentials indicate a decrease in the charge carrier lifetimes of CsPbBr₃ as we increase the potential from -0.6 to +0.6 V vs Ag/AgCl. The charge carrier lifetime increased upon reversing the applied bias, thus indicating the reversibility of the photoresponse to charging effects. The ultrafast spectroelectrochemical experiments described here offer a convenient
