The recent emergence of lead-halide perovskites as active layer materials for thin film semiconductor devices including solar cells, light emitting diodes, and memristors has motivated the development of several new drift-diffusion models that include the effects of both mobile electronic and ionic charge carriers. The aim of this work is to provide a comprehensive guide to Driftfusion, a versatile simulation tool built for simulating one-dimensional ordered semiconductor devices with mixed ionic-electronic conducting layers. Driftfusion enables users to model devices with multiple, distinct, material layers and up to four charge carrier species: electrons and holes by default plus up to two ionic species. The time-dependent carrier continuity equations are fully-coupled to Poisson's equation enabling transient optoelectronic device measurement protocols to be simulated. In addition to material and device-wide properties, users have direct access to adapt the physical models for carrier transport, generation and recombination. Furthermore, a graded-interface approach circumvents the requirement for boundary conditions at material interfaces and enables interface-specific properties, such as high rates of interfacial recombination, to be introduced.
