Modulated charge separation across (MO)/CH 3 NH 3 PbI 3 and (MO)/PbI 2 /CH 3 NH 3 PbI 3 (MO = TiO 2 , MoO 3 ) interfaces was investigated by surface photovoltage (SPV) spectroscopy. Perovskite layers were deposited by solution‐based one‐step preparation and two‐step preparation methods. An unreacted PbI 2 layer remained at the interface between the metal oxide and CH 3 NH 3 PbI 3 for two‐step preparation. For the two‐step preparation on TiO 2 , the SPV signal related to absorption in CH 3 NH 3 PbI 3 increased in comparison to the one‐step preparation due to electron transfer from CH 3 NH 3 PbI 3 via PbI 2 into TiO 2 whereas the SPV signal related to defect transitions decreased. For the one‐step preparation on MoO 3 , holes photogenerated in CH 3 NH 3 PbI 3 recombined with electrons in MoO 3 . In contrast, a hole transfer from CH 3 NH 3 PbI 3 towards MoO 3 was blocked by the PbI 2 interlayer for the two‐step preparation on MoO 3 . (© 2014 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH &Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
