<p>The electron and hole selective contact (SC) play a pivotal role in the performance of perovskite solar cells. In order to separate the interfacial phenomenon from bulk, the influence of charge SC was elucidated, by means of impedance spectroscopy. The specific role played by TiO<sub>2</sub> and <i>Spiro-OMeTAD</i> as electron and hole SC in perovskite solar cells was investigated at short circuit condition at different temperatures. We have probed MAPbI<sub>3</sub> and (FAPbI<sub>3</sub>)<sub>0.85</sub>(MAPbBr<sub>3</sub>)<sub>0.15 </sub>and elucidated parameters such as charge carrier mobility, recombination resistance, time constant and charge carrier kinetics in perovskite layer and at the interface of perovskite/SC. Charge carrier mobility in mixed perovskite was found to be nearly two order of magnitude higher as compared to MAPbI<sub>3</sub>. Moreover, the carrier mobility in devices with only electron SC was found to be higher as compared only hole SC. The charge accumulation at TiO<sub>2</sub>/perovskite/<i>Spiro</i>-OMeTAD interfaces were studied via frequency dependent capacitance, revealing higher charge accumulation at perovskite/S<i>piro</i>-OMeTAD than at TiO<sub>2</sub>/perovskite interface. By performing varying temperature frequency dependent capacitance measurements the distribution of density of state within the bandgap of the perovskites, the emission rate of electrons from the trap states and traps activation energy was determined. </p>

<p>Methylammonium lead iodide (MAPI) is a prototypical photo absorber in perovskite solar cells (PSCs), reaching efficiencies above 20%. However, its hygroscopic nature has prompted the quest to find water-resistant alternatives. Recent studies have suggested that mixing MAPI with lower dimensional, bulky-<i>A</i>-site-cation perovskites helps mitigate this environmental instability. On the other hand, low dimensional perovskites suffer from poor device performance, which has been suggested to be due to limited out-of-plane charge carrier mobility resulting from structural dimensionality and large binding energy of the charge carriers. To understand the effects of dimensionality on performance, we systematically mixed MA-based 3D perovskites with larger <i>A</i>-site cation, dimethylammonium, iso-propylammonium, and t-butylammonium lead iodide perovskites. During the shift from MAPI to lower dimensional (LD) PSCs, the efficiency is significantly reduced by 2 orders of magnitude, with short-circuit currents decreasing from above 20 mA/cm<sup>2</sup> to less than 1 mA/cm<sup>2</sup>. In order to explain these decrease in performance, we studied the charge carrier mobilities of these materials using optical-pump/ terahertz-probe, time-resolved microwave photoconductivity, and photoluminescence measurements. The results show that as we add more of the low dimensional perovskites, the mobility decreases by a factor of 20 when it reaches pure LD perovskites. In addition, the photoluminescence decay fitting is slightly slower for the mixed perovskites, suggesting some improvement in the recombination dynamics. These findings indicate that changes in structural dimensionality by mixing<i> A</i>-site cations play an important role in measured charge carrier mobility, and in the performance of perovskite solar cells.</p>
