We present measurements of conductance hysteresis on CH3NH3PbI3 perovskite thin films, performed using the double-wave method, in order to investigate the possibility of a ferroelectric response. A strong frequency dependence of the hysteresis is observed in the range of 0.1 Hz to 150 Hz, with a hysteretic charge density in excess of 1000 mu C cm(-2) at frequencies below 0.4 Hz-a behaviour uncharacteristic of a ferroelectric response. We show that the observed hysteretic conductance, as well as the presence of a double arc in the impedance spectroscopy, can be fully explained by the migration of mobile ions under bias on a timescale of seconds. Our measurements place an upper limit of approximate to 1 mu C cm(-2) on any intrinsic frequency-independent polarisation, ruling out ferroelectricity as the main cause of current-voltage hysteresis and providing further evidence of the importance of ionic migration in modifying the efficiency of CH3NH3PbI3 devices.
