Ion transport properties in metal-halide perovskite still constitute a subject of intense research because of the evident connection between mobile defects and device performance and operation degradation. In the specific case of X-ray detectors, dark current level and instability is regarded to be connected to the ion migration upon bias application. Different compositions (MAPbBr3 and MAPbI3) and structures (single- and micro-crystalline) are checked by the analysis of long-time dark current evolution. In all cases, electronic current increases with time before reaching a steady-state value within a response time (from 10.000 s down to 10 s) that strongly depends on the applied bias. Our findings corroborate the existence of a coupling between electronic transport and ion kinetics that ultimately establishes the time scale of electronic current. Effective ion mobility mui is extracted that exhibits applied electrical field E dependence that varies on the perovskite composition. While ion mobility results field-independent in the case of MAPbI3, a clear field-enhancement is observed for MAPbBr3 (dmui/dE>0), irrespective of the crystallinity. Both perovskite compounds present effective ion mobility in the range of mui = 10-7-10-6 cm-2 V-1 s-1, in accordance with previous analyses. The E-dependence of the ion mobility is related to the lower ionic concentration of the bromide compound. Slower-migrating defect drift is suppressed in the case of MAPbBr3, in opposition to that observed here for MAPbI3.
