← ScienceWhich consequence results when band gap decreases within perovskite solar cells?
A)Increased electron-hole recombination rate✓
B)Enhanced open-circuit voltage (Voc)
C)Improved short-circuit current (Jsc)
D)Reduced light harvesting efficiency
💡 Explanation
Increased *electron-hole recombination* occurs because a smaller band gap allows electrons and holes to more easily transition between bands, enhancing their meeting probability; therefore recombination rises, rather than raising voltage or short circuit current or reducing light absorption efficiency under normal device conditions.
