Here, the flat band potentials and carrier densities of spin coated and sprayed MAPbI₃, FA_0.85Cs_0.15PbI₃, and MAPbBr₃ perovskite films were determined using the Mott-Schottky relation. The films developed a space charge layer and exhibited p-type conduction with carrier concentration ~ 10¹⁶ cm^-3 for spin coated films. Electrochemical impedance spectra showed typical space charge impedance at frequencies > 1 kHz with increasing capacitance < 1 kHz owing to an ion diffusion component.
