High‐Performance Flexible Broadband Photodetector Based on Organolead Halide Perovskite

TLDR

Organolead halide perovskites are prized for their high charge‑carrier mobilities, high photoconversion efficiencies, low cost, and easy deposition, making them attractive light‑harvesting materials for solar cells. The study demonstrates the first organolead halide perovskite broadband photodetector on a flexible ITO substrate. The device is fabricated by depositing a CH₃NH₃PbI₃ film onto a flexible ITO‑coated substrate. The photodetector shows broadband sensitivity from UV to visible, achieving a photo‑responsivity of 3.49 A W⁻¹ at 365 nm and 0.0367 A W⁻¹ at 780 nm, an external quantum efficiency of 1.19 × 10³ % and 5.84 %, maintains performance after repeated bending, and offers high sensitivity, speed, and broad spectrum response, indicating promise for practical applications.

Abstract

Organolead halide perovskites have attracted extensive attentions as light harvesting materials for solar cells recently, because of its high charge‐carrier mobilities, high photoconversion efficiencies, low energy cost, ease of deposition, and so on. Herein, with CH 3 NH 3 PbI 3 film deposited on flexible ITO coated substrate, the first organolead halide perovskite based broadband photodetector is demonstrated. The organolead halide perovskite photodetector is sensitive to a broadband wavelength from the ultraviolet light to entire visible light, showing a photo‐responsivity of 3.49 A W −1 , 0.0367 A W −1 , an external quantum efficiency of 1.19×10 3 %, 5.84% at 365 nm and 780 nm with a voltage bias of 3 V, respectively. Additionally, the as‐fabricated photodetector exhibit excellent flexibility and robustness with no obvious variation of photocurrent after bending for several times. The organolead halide perovskite photodetector with high sensitivity, high speed and broad spectrum photoresponse is promising for further practical applications. And this platform creates new opportunities for the development of low‐cost, solution‐processed and high‐efficiency photodetectors.
