Abstract
Ion migration in CsPbBr3 perovskites, crucial for device stability and performance, is investigated under combined illumination and direct current (DC) or alternating current (AC) bias using macroelectrical and nanoscale microscopy. DC measurements demonstrate that illumination suppresses bias-induced ion migration, reducing the current drop amplitude (ΔI/I) from 60.68% (dark) to 18.19% (3.80 mW/cm2), attributed to photogenerated carrier passivating vacancies. Photocurrent atomic force microscopy reveals grain boundaries as preferential migration pathways under light, exhibiting 9.6-fold higher mechanical work dissipation than grains. Under AC bias, illumination enhances polarization, evidenced by an +8° out-of-plane phase shift in piezoresponse force microscopy, and increases surface potential (Kelvin probe force microscopy: 2.35 V dark to 3.27 V), confirming light-promoted ion migration via polarization modulation. These findings elucidate the mechanism of light-regulated ion migration in CsPbBr3, facilitating optimization of the perovskite device stability and performance.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Physical Chemistry (JPC) Letters is devoted to reporting new and original experimental and theoretical basic research of interest to physical chemists, biophysical chemists, chemical physicists, physicists, material scientists, and engineers. An important criterion for acceptance is that the paper reports a significant scientific advance and/or physical insight such that rapid publication is essential. Two issues of JPC Letters are published each month.
