Organic-inorganic hybrid metal-halide perovskites are very interesting materials and can be used as an absorber in photovoltaic device. Efficiencies of solar cells based on metal halide perovskites above 20% have been reported, however, the long-term stability of related solar cells is still challenging. The robustness of triple cation perovskite films seems to indicate the way to obtain a long-term stability.
The samples used on the experiments consisted on a substrate with a layer of porphyrin. Their characterization by surface photovoltage (SPV) technique was performed by analyzing its transport length in interaction with the perovskite. The procedure included the measurements before and after the perovskite layer was deposited.
The main idea is to analyze how the responses vary by comparing different thicknesses of porphyrin in contrast with different substrates and find out how are correlated the different parameters.

There is no other picture than a graph? To attract the eye, this is not the optimal solution. And in my opinion, this subject could be explained a bit more in a general way. What is porphyrine? Isn’t that a colour substance, bright red?
This is probably the most interesting and relevant for me, since we both use the same spectroscopy method for the investigation of the photo active materials. In addition, perovskites are a hot topic right now. Multiple teams around the world studying their properties and trying to make is stable
For sure this are very interesting materials. I found the proyect very interesting.
