Split-Ring Structured All-Inorganic Perovskite Photodetector Arrays for Masterly Internet of Things

Photodetectors with long detection distances and fast response are important media in constructing a non-contact human-machine interface for the Masterly Internet of Things(MIT).All-inorganic perovskites have excellent optoelectronic performance with high moisture and oxygen resistance,making them one of the promising candidates for high-performance photodetectors,but a simple,low-cost and reliable fabrication technology is urgently needed.Here,a dual-function laser etching method is developed to complete both the lyophilic split-ring structure and electrode patterning.This novel split-ring structure can capture the perovskite precursor droplet efficiently and achieve the uniform and compact deposition of CsPbBr3 films.Furthermore,our devices based on laterally conducting split-ring structured photodetectors possess outstanding performance,including the maximum responsivity of 1.44×105 mA W^(−1),a response time of 150μs in 1.5 kHz and one-unit area<4×10-2 mm2.Based on these split-ring photodetector arrays,we realized three-dimensional gesture detection with up to 100 mm distance detection and up to 600 mm s^(−1) speed detection,for low-cost,integrative,and non-contact human-machine interfaces.Finally,we applied this MIT to wearable and flexible digital gesture recognition watch panel,safe and comfortable central controller integrated on the car screen,and remote control of the robot,demonstrating the broad potential applications.

Recent research process on perovskite photodetectors:A review for photodetector——materials,physics,and applications

The perovskite photodetectors can be used for image sensing, environmental monitoring, optical communication, and chemical/biological detection. In the recent five years, the perovskite photoelectric detectors with various devices are welldesigned and have made unprecedented progress of light detection. It is necessary to emphasize the most interesting works and summarize them to provide researchers with systematic information. In this review, we report the recent progress in perovskite photodetectors, including highly sensitive, ultrafast response speed, high gain, low noise, flexibility, and narrowband, concentrating on the photodetection performance of versatile halide perovskites(organic–inorganic hybrid and all inorganic compositions). Currently, organic–inorganic hybrid and all-inorganic halide microcrystals with polycrystalline film, nanoparticle/wire/chip, and block monocrystalline morphology control show important performance in response rate,decomposition rate, noise equivalent power, linear dynamic range, and response speed. It is expected that a comprehensive compendium of the research status of perovskite photodetectors will contribute to the development of this area.

Recent advances on organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite photodetectors with fast response

In the last decade,optoelectronic devices based on organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite(OIHP)materials,which have unique advantages of direct bandgap,large absorption coefficient,low density of defects,long charge carrier lifetime,diffusion length,and solution processability,have traveled with traditional inorganic semiconductor devices.The state-of-the-art OIHP photodetectors have contributed a comparable performance with Si and III-V compound semiconductor based photodetectors.Large amount of efforts have been focused on improving sensitivity,broadening detection spectra,enlarging linear dynamic range.However,few reports emphasized the important parameter of response speed.In this review,we summarize the progress and applications of OIHP photodetectors with fast response.Based on photovoltaic and photoconductive-type OIHP photodetectors,the working principle and key factors on determining response speed are systematically mentioned.Then,the research progress of response speed,which is composed of resistance-capacitance(RC)time constant and charge carrier transit time is discussed in detail.Subsequently,considering the intrinsic flexibility of perovskite materials,we briefly discuss the flexible photodetectors.Finally,an outlook and potential rules for designing fast-response OIHP photodetectors are further proposed.

Self-powered bifunctional perovskite photodetectors with both broadband and narrowband photoresponse

Photodetectors generally operate exclusively in either the broadband or narrowband.Developing bifunctional photodetectors that can detect photons in both broadband and narrowband would bring significant versatility to the optoelectronic platform.Nevertheless,the design of bifunctional integrated devices remains challenging due to the differentiated strategies with respect to device structure and material combination.Herein,we propose introducing polyvinylpyrrolidone to increase the viscosity of the perovskite precursor solution,which introduces abundant defects and cavities into the perovskite film while maintaining a relatively low film thickness.Then,we use methylamine gas to postprocess the middle area of the film to promote directional recrystallization and densification,thereby realizing narrowband and broadband dualfunction photodetection in a single device at zero bias.Both ends of the film exhibit a near-infrared peak response at 780 nm with a narrow full-width at half maximum of approximately 30 nm without an external bias.The middle broadband photodetector exhibits a high responsivity of 329 mA W^(-1)and EQE up to 52.46%at 780 nm.We make full use of narrow-band wavelength selective detection and broadband full-spectrum detection to achieve double encryption during signal transmission.This work represents an important step toward the realization of perovskite-based multifunctional integrated devices.

High-quality perovskite MAPbI_3 single crystals for broad-spectrum and rapid response integrate photodetector

Organic–inorganic single-crystalline perovskites have attracted significant attentions due to their exceptional progress in intrinsic properties＇ investigation and applications in photovoltaics and optoelectronics. In this study, the large perovskite CH3NH3PbI3 single crystal with the largest length of 80 mm was prepared through the method of inverse-temperature crystallization. Meanwhile, the mass production of integrate photodetectors have been fabricated on the single-crystalline wafer and the photoresponse performances were investigated. The results show that the single-crystalline photodetectors have broad spectrum response to 900 nm, rapid response speed（〈40 μs） and excellent stability. These findings are of great importance for future promising perovskite single crystalline for integrated photoelectronic application.

UV soaking for enhancing the photocurrent and response speed of Cs_(2)AgBiBr_(6)-based all-inorganic perovskite photodetectors

The response speed of the reported Cs_(2)AgBiBr_(6)-based photodetectors exhibits a wide variation ranging from microseconds to nanoseconds,while the reason is still unclear.Apart from the conventional approaches such as reducing effective area,new regulating approaches for response speed improvement have rarely been reported.On the other hand,it is generally believed that ultraviolet(UV)light has negative impact on perovskite devices resulting in performance degradation.In this work,we demonstrated that the response speed of the photodetector with FTO/Cs_(2)AgBiBr_(6)/Au structure can be effectively regulated by utilizing UV light-soaking effect without reducing the device area.Particularly,the decay time is efficiently modulated from 30.1μs to 340 ns.In addition,the−3 dB bandwidth of the device is extended from 5 to 20 kHz.It is worth mentioning that the light current is remarkably boosted by 15 times instead of any attenuation.Furthermore,we prove the universality of UV soaking treatment on Cs_(2)AgBiBr_(6)-based photodetectors with other all-inorganic structures,i.e.,FTO/TiO_(2)/Cs_(2)AgBiBr_(6)/Au,FTO/Cs_(2)AgBiBr_(6)/TiO_(2)/Au and FTO/TiO_(2)/Cs_(2)AgBiBr_(6)/CuSCN/Au.Our results demonstrate a new method to improve the response speed and light current of Cs_(2)AgBiBr_(6)-based perovskite all-inorganic photodetectors.

Improving the interfacial contact between CH_3NH_3PbI_(3–x)Cl_x and Au by LiTFSI solution treatment for efficient photoelectric devices

Organic lead halide compounds with perovskite structure become a promising photovoltaic material for low- cost thin film solar cells in recent years. The property of perovskite/metal interface is a fundamental topic for the effective charge transfer at metal electrodes. In this work, we develop an interface modification method of lithium bis（trifluoromethane sulfonimide） （LiTFSI） solution treatment, which can effectively decrease the charge transfer resistance at the CH3NHaPbI3_xClx/Au interface. After the solution treatment, uniform nan- odots are formed at the surface of CHaNH3PbI3_xCIx films, and the barrier height at CH3NH3PbI3_xCIx/Au interface reduces from 0.51 V to 0.08 V. As a consequence, the efficiency of hole conductor free solar cells with CH3NHaPbI3-xCIx harvester increase from 4.0% to 7.6% under one sun condition. It is also found that the hole conductor free perovskite solar cell can work in a photodetector mode, which has the same output prop- erties with phototransistors. After the LiTFSI solution treatment, the sensitivity of this photodetector can be improved for about one time.

Ultrasensitive,flexible perovskite nanowire photodetectors with long-term stability exceeding 5000 h

Photodetectors(PDs)based on perovskite nanowires are among the most promising next-generation photodetection technologies;however,their poor long-term stability is the biggest challenge limiting their commercial applica-tion.Herein,an ionic liquid,1-butyl-3 methylimidazolium tetrafuoroborate(BMIMBF_(4)),is incorporated as an additive into methylammonium lead tri-iodide(MAPbI_(3))nanowires;this not only effectively passivates defects to inhibit perovskite degradation but also leads to the formation of nanochannels,enabling fast charge transfer.As a result,the long-term stability and perfor-mance of MAPbI_(3)nanowires are considerably improved.The detectivity,linear detection range,and noise equivalent power of the MA PbI_(3)nanowire PD reach 2.06×10^(13)Jones,160dB,and 1.38×10^(-15)W Hz-^(1/2),respectively,compara-ble to the highest performance of perovskite nanowire PDs reported to date.Moreover,the unencapsulated PD can maintain 100%of its initial performance after being exposed to an open-air environment for more than 5000 h,esta-blishing it as the most stable perovskite nanowire PD reported to date.Nota-bly,the PD exhibits improved diffuse reflection imaging ability when compared with commercial silicon photodiode S2386.This study provides a new strategy for constructing sensitive,stable,and flexible perovskite PDs and will accelerate their commercial application in the future.

120 mm Single-crystalline perovskite and wafers： towards viable applications

As the large single-crystalline silicon wafers have revolutionized many industries including electronics and solar cells, it is envisioned that the availability of large single-crystalline perovskite crystals and wafers will revolutionize its broad applications in photovoltaics, optoelectronics, lasers, photodetectors, light emitting diodes(LEDs), etc. Here we report a method to grow large single-crystalline perovskites including single-halide crystals: CH3NH3PbX3(X=I, Br, Cl), and dual-halide ones:CH3NH3Pb(ClxBr1.x)3 and CH3NH3Pb(BrxI1.x)3, with the largest crystal being 120 mm in length. Meanwhile, we have advanced a process to slice the large perovskite crystals into thin wafers. It is found that the wafers exhibit remarkable features:(1)its trap-state density is a million times smaller than that in the microcrystalline perovskite thin films(MPTF);(2) its carrier mobility is 410 times higher than its most popular organic counterpart P3HT;(3) its optical absorption is expanded to as high as910 nm comparing to 797 nm for the MPTF;(4) while MPTF decomposes at 150 °C, the wafer is stable at high temperature up to270 °C;(5) when exposed to high humidity(75% RH), MPTF decomposes in 5 h while the wafer shows no change for overnight;(6) its photocurrent response is 250 times higher than its MPTF counterpart. A few electronic devices have been fabricated using the crystalline wafers. Among them, the Hall test gives low carrier concentration with high mobility. The trap-state density is measured much lower than common semiconductors. Moreover, the large SC-wafer is found particularly useful for mass production of integrated circuits. By adjusting the halide composition, both the optical absorption and the light emission can be fine-tuned across the entire visible spectrum from 400 nm to 800 nm. It is envisioned that a range of visible lasers and LEDs may be developed using the dual-halide perovskites. With fewer trap states, high mobility, broader absorption, and humidity resistance, it is expected that solar cells with high stable efficiency maybe attainable using the crystalline wafers.

Enhancement of photodetection based on perovskite/MoS_2 hybrid thin film transistor

Perovskite/MoS2hybrid thin film transistor photodetectors consist of few-layered MoS2and CH3NH3PbI3film with various thickness prepared by two-step vacuum deposition.By implementing perovskite CH3NH3PbI3film onto the MoS2flake,the perovskite/MoS2hybrid photodetector exhibited a photoresponsivity of 104A/W and fast response time of about 40 ms.Improvement of photodetection performance is attributed to the balance between light absorption in the perovskite layer and an effective transfer of photogenerated carriers from perovskite entering the MoS2channel.This work may provide guidance to develop high-performance hybrid structure optoelectronic devices.
