High Charge Carrier Mobilities and Lifetimes in Organolead Trihalide Perovskites

Christian Wehrenfennig, Giles E. Eperon, Michael B. Johnston, Henry J. Snaith et al.

Short summary

Organolead trihalide perovskites achieve charge-carrier mobilities of ~10 cm² V⁻¹ s⁻¹ and recombination constants over four orders of magnitude below the Langevin limit, enabling micrometer-scale diffusion lengths.

Key points

  • Achieved charge-carrier mobilities of approximately 10 cm² V⁻¹ s⁻¹.
  • Measured bi-molecular charge-recombination constants far below the Langevin limit (over four orders of magnitude).
  • The mobility-to-recombination ratio defies the Langevin limit for kinetic charge capture.
  • Resulting in long (micrometer) charge-pair diffusion lengths.

Abstract

Organolead trihalide perovskites are shown to exhibit the best of both worlds: charge-carrier mobilities around 10 cm2 V−1 s−1 and low bi-molecular charge-recombination constants. The ratio of the two is found to defy the Langevin limit of kinetic charge capture by over four orders of magnitude. This mechanism causes long (micrometer) charge-pair diffusion lengths crucial for flat-heterojunction photovoltaics.
