Description: 
Metal-halide perovskites are outstanding materials for photovoltaics (PV) due to their high absorption coefficient, low exciton binding energy and long lifetime of the photo-generated charge carriers [1]. However, one of the main drawbacks of these materials rely on the toxicity of the metal lead.The efficiency of perovskites solar cells is strongly affected by the presence of defects in the lattice such as vacancies, interstitials and antisites, which may act as recombination centers by trapping photogenerated carriers and promoting the recombination of the carrier of opposite charge on the center [2].
