The panchromatic light absorption and excellent charge carrier transport properties in organo lead halide perovskites allowed to achieve an unprecedented power conversion efficiency in excess of 25 % for thin film photovoltaics fabrication. To understand the underlying phenomena, various comprehensive set of optical and electrical techniques have been employed to investigate the charge carrier dynamics in such devices. In this perspective, we aim to summarize the electrical transport properties of perovskite thin films by using (i) impedance spectroscopy (IS), (ii) space charge limited current (SCLC), (iii) field-effect transistors (FETs) and (iv) time-of-flight (TOF) methods. We have deliberated various equivalent circuit used to model the perovskite solar cells by means of IS. The SCLC technique provide vital electrical parameters such as mobility, activation energy, traps density and distribution, carrier concentration, density of states, etc. The TOF technique measures mobility as a primary parameter while the FETs configuration provide a valuable insight into the in-plane charge transport in perovskites thin films. We believe that these notable understanding will provide insights into charge carrier dynamics in perovskite materials and devices.
