Dimensionality and Interface Engineering of 2D Homologous Perovskites for Boosted Charge-Carrier Transport and Photodetection Performances

摘要

Two-dimensional (2D) homologous halide perovskite (HP) microcrystallines have emerged as a promising alternative light-sensitive material; however, the undesirable quantum confinement effect and severe interfacial charge-carrier scattering still hamper their applications in photodetectors (PDs). Here we propose a novel postsynthetic treatment to simultaneously solve both problems. 2D (OA)(2)FA(n-1)Pb(n)Br3(n+1) (OA and FA represent octadecylamine and formamidine) microplatelet film was immersed in solution containing FA(+), leading to improvements in two aspects. First, the dimensionality of 2D HPs was increased through an exchange reaction between OA(+) and FA(+), which meliorates the quantum confinement effect and facilitates the separation of electrons and holes; second, the free-standing 2D HP microcrystallines were fused for promoted interdomain charge-carrier transport. The treated PDs achieved a 3600 and 4200% increase in external quantum yield and responsivity up to 7100% and 32 A/W, respectively, and the rise/decay time was shortened by two orders of magnitude to 0.25/1.45 ms.
