However, the charge carrier transport properties in layered perovskites are still not fully understood. We investigatedthe sum of the electron and hole mobilities (Σμ) in thin films of the 2D perovskite PEA 2 PbI 4 , through transient electronically contacted nanosecond-to-millisecond photoconductivity measurements, which are sensitive to long-time, long-range (micrometer length scale) transport processes. After careful analysis, accounting for both early-time recombination and the evolution of the exciton-to-free-carrier population, a long- range mobility of 8.0 +/− 0.6 cm 2 (V s) –1 , which is ten times greater than the long-range mobility of a comparable 3D material FA 0.9 Cs 0.1 PbI 3 is determined. These values are compared to ultra-fast transient time-resolved THz photoconductivity measurements, which are sensitive to early-time, shorter-range (tens of nm length scale) mobilities. Mobilities of 8 and 45 cm 2 (V s) –1 in the case of the PEA 2 PbI 4 and FA 0.9 Cs 0.1 PbI 3 , respectively, are obtained. This previously unreported concurrence between the long-range and short-range mobility in a 2D material indicates that the polycrystalline thin films already have single-crystal-like qualities. Hence, their fundamental charge carrier transport properties should aid device performance, while keeping the benefits for stability as well. References 1.
