Perovskite solar cells have attracted much attention as a next-generation solar cell because they show high efficiency and can be fabricated at a low-cost fabrication process. In this study, we have directly observed spin and charge states in perovskite solar cells under device operation using electron spin resonance spectroscopy from a microscopic viewpoint in order to elucidate the degradation mechanism of the cells. As a result, we have found the correlation between the spin-charge states and the degradation of the device performance, and have clarified the origin of the degradation mechanism of the cells. Such elucidation of the correlation between the spin-charge states and the performance degradation at the molecular level would give deep insight into the operation mechanism of the cells and would be useful for further improvement of the device performance.
