High-performance transparent ultraviolet photodetectors based on inorganic perovskite CsPbCl₃ nanocrystals

摘要

Inorganic lead halide perovskite nanocrystals (CsPbCl₃ NCs) with excellent ultraviolet (UV) light absorption, high carrier mobility, long carrier diffusion lengths, and long-term stability are good candidates as smart materials for transparent optoelectronic devices. In this study, transparent UV photodetectors (PDs) based on CsPbCl₃ NCs were fabricated for the first time. The optimized device exhibited visible light transmittance approximately 90%, strong absorption of UV light in the wavelength from 300 nm to 410 nm, good photoresponsivity (1.89 A W?1), and a high on/off ratio (up to 103). Meanwhile, the rise and decay response times of the device were less than 41 ms and 43 ms, respectively. Furthermore, we performed detailed analysis of the effects by employing CsPbCl₃ NCs in assembled films and final devices using various characterization methods. The simple fabrication and remarkable UV photodetection capabilities of CsPbCl₃ NCs make them promising semiconducting candidates in optoelectronic applications.
