The Board of NWO-I has appointed Prof. Dr. Bruno Ehrler as the new director of AMOLF, the national institute for research on functional complex matter. Effective 1 January 2026, Ehrler will succeed Pr...

Mobile ions limit halide perovskite device performance, yet quantifying ionic properties remains challenging. Frequency-domain electrical techniques are restricted to operational devices, and the resulting signals are often dominated by interfacial recombination which obscures ionic contributions. Here, we introduce intensity-modulated photoluminescence spectroscopy (IMPLS) as a fully optical alternative, where the amplitude and phase of the photoluminescence intensity is measured as a function of excitation modulation frequency. IMPLS is demonstrated on a Cs0.07(FA0.83MA0.17)0.93Pb(I0.83Br0.17)3 film. Fitting the data with an optical equivalent circuit model reveals two characteristic lifetimes: τchar = 2.1 ms and 77 s, likely corresponding to defect formation and ionic diffusion, respectively. The diffusion feature is consistent with intensity-modulated photocurrent/photovoltage spectroscopy (IMPS/IMVS) measurements on corresponding full devices. Importantly, IMPLS enables contact-free characterization of slow processes for all perovskite sample types, including films and devices, significantly expanding the techniques available for understanding mobile ions in these materials.
