The role of chloride in improving the stability of mixed halide perovskites (MAPbCl x Br 0.5(1-x) I 0.5(1-x) ) 3 is probed using spectroelectrochemistry. The injection of holes into mixed halide perovskite films through applied anodic bias results in the selective migration of iodine with ultimate expulsion into the electrolyte. Increasing the Cl content (x = 0 to 0.1) in the mixed halide perovskite suppresses the iodine mobility and thus decreases the rate of its expulsion into the solution. Implications of iodine mobility induced by hole accumulation and its impact on overall stability is discussed.
