Popis: In this work, methylammonium bismuth iodide [(CH3NH3)3Bi2I9] has been synthesized through the mechanochemical process. Indeed, (CH3NH3)3Bi2I9 emerges as promising alternative to lead-based inorganic–organic perovskite due to low toxicity and better stability. X-ray diffraction spectra reveal monoclinic structure of (CH3NH3)Bi2I9 with space group C2/c. Kubelka–Munk method is conducted to compute the bandgap (2.16 eV). The impedance and dielectric properties of (CH3NH3)3Bi2I9 have been investigated within frequency range of 4 Hz to 1 MHz for several temperatures in between 333 to 453 K. The complex impedance spectroscopy has analyzed by fitting the Cole–Cole plot with suitable grain and grain boundary contributions (rg, rgb). Conductivity and electric modulus spectra have been analyzed to enlight the shaded portion of transportation properties. The scaled coordination of modulus spectrum merges in a single master curve which signifies that the distribution of relaxation time is temperature independent. To compute the DC conductivity, AC conductivity data have fitted using Jonscher’s power law. The activation energy calculated from Arrhenius plot is 0.477 eV.
