Electrochemical impedance analysis of perovskite-electrolyte interfaces

Chem Commun (Camb). 2017 Feb 21;53(16):2467-2470. doi: 10.1039/c6cc10315d.

Abstract

The flat band potentials and carrier densities of spin coated and sprayed MAPbI3, FA0.85Cs0.15PbI3, and MAPbBr3 perovskite films were determined using the Mott-Schottky relation. The films developed a space charge layer and exhibited p-type conduction with a carrier concentration of ∼1016 cm-3 for spin coated films. Electrochemical impedance spectra showed typical space charge impedance at frequencies >1 kHz, and an exceptional high capacitance at frequency <1 kHz owing to an ion diffusion component.
