Perovskite photovoltaic cells have seen a remarkable rise in power conversion efficiencies over a period of only a few years. Much of this performance is underpinned by the favorable charge-carrier mobilities in metal halide perovskites (MHPs), which are remarkably high for materials with such facile and versatile processing routes. This Perspective outlines the mechanisms that set a fundamental upper limit to charge-carrier mobility values in MHPs and reveals how they may be tuned through changes in stoichiometry. In addition, extrinsic effects such as grain size, energetic disorder, and self-doping are discussed for specific MHPs in the context of remedies designed to avoid them.
