Abstract

To unveil the mechanisms controlling photovoltaic conversion in high-performing perovskitebased mesostructured solar cells, we focus on the key role played by the mesoporous oxide/ perovskite interface. We employ several spectroscopic techniques to design a complete scenario and corroborate our results with first principle DFT calculations. In particular Stark spectroscopy, a powerful tool allowing interface-sensitive analysis, is employed to prove the existence of oriented permanent dipoles, consistent with the hypothesis of an ordered perovskite layer, close to the oxide surface. The existence of a structural order, promoted by specific local interactions, could be one of the decisive reasons for highly efficient carriers transport within perovskite films.
