Abstract

Metastability is a characteristic feature of perovskite solar cell (PSC) devices that affects powerrating measurements and general electrical behaviour. In this work the metastability of differenttypes of PSC devices is investigated through current–voltage (I–V) testing and voltage dependentphotolum...
