The failure of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) under ultraviolet (UV) irradiation is a serious barrier of commercial utilization. Here, a two-stage degradation process of TiO2-based PSCs is discovered under continuous UV irradiation in an inert atmosphere. In the first decay stage, oxygen vacancy-Ti3+ (Ti3+-VO) transform into active Ti4+-VO trap states under UV excitation and cause photocarrier loss. Furthermore, Ti4+-VO states can convert back into Ti3+-VO states through oxidizing I-, which result in the accumulation of I3-. Sequentia
