Key Points

The research aims to understand how trace humidity affects the performance of metal halide perovskite solar cells.
Operando spectroscopic techniques employed to analyze effects of humidity
Back contact devices used for the solar cells
Humidity levels tested ranged from 5 to 35 ppm V.
Water migration was observed under trace humidity conditions
Outgassing and charge-carrier quenching occurred as humidity levels varied
Reversible changes in photocurrent responses were noted.

Abstract

In operando investigations of trace humidity effects (5–35 ppm V ) on metal halide perovskite solar cells using back contact devices are revealing water migration, outgassing, charge-carrier quenching, and reversible photocurrent responses.
