Two-terminal perovskite-silicon tandem solar cells are showing great promise to become the dominant commercial photovoltaic technology in the future, with the highest laboratory efficiency being 33.9% for a 1 cm x cm device. Further development in the efficiency of these devices is limited by the low fill factor, due to resistive losses arising from the low mobilities of the transport layers of the perovskite cell and other related interlayers. The magnitude and mechanisms of these losses need to be identified accurately in order to determine suitable material modifications. This project will therefore focus on frequency-domain small perturbation measurements of two-terminal perovskite-silicon tandem solar cells. These measurements will exploit the fact that the measured response is limited by a different subcell depending upon the nature of the DC illumination, to selectively probe the perovskite solar cell and shed light on the mechanisms dominating its performance losses.
