Abstract

Organic–inorganic metal halide perovskites (MHPs) exhibit prominent electronic and optical properties benefiting the performance of solar cells and light-emitting diodes. However, the dielectric properties of these materials have remained poorly understood, despite probably influencing delayed charge recombination and device capacitance. Herein, we characterize the unprecedented dielectric behavior of MHPs comprising methylammonium cations, Pb/Sn as metals, and Br/I as halides using time-resolved microwave conductivity (TRMC) measurements. At specific compositions, the above MHPs exhibit negative real and positive imaginary photoconductivities, the polarities of which are opposite those observed for conventional photogenerated charge carriers. Comparing the observed TRMC kinetics with that of inorganic perovskites (SrTiO3 and BaTiO3) and characterizing its dependence on temperature, frequency, and near-infrared second push pulse, we conclude that the above behavior is due to the trapping of polaronic hole...
