Abstract

The presence of mobile ions in metal halide perovskites has been shown to adversely affect the intrinsic stability of perovskite solar cells (PSCs). However, the actual contribution of mobile ions to the total degradation loss compared with other factors such as trap-assisted recombination remains poorly understood. Here we reveal that mobile ion-induced internal field screening is the dominant factor in the degradation of PSCs under operational conditions. The increased field screening leads to a decrease in the steady-state efficiency, often owing to a large reduction in the current density. Instead, the efficiency at high scan speeds (>1,000 V s⁻¹), where the ions are immobilized, is much less affected. We also show that the bulk and interface quality do not degrade upon ageing, yet the open-circuit voltage decreases owing to an increase in the mobile ion density. This work reveals the importance of ionic losses for intrinsic PSC degradation before chemical or extrinsic mechanical effects manifest.
