Multilayered PdSe₂/Perovskite Schottky Junction for Fast, Self‐Powered, Polarization‐Sensitive, Broadband Photodetectors, and Image Sensor Application

Abstract

Abstract Group‐10 transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) with distinct optical and tunable electrical properties have exhibited great potential for various optoelectronic applications. Herein, a self‐powered photodetector is developed with broadband response ranging from deep ultraviolet to near‐infrared by combining FA 1− x Cs x PbI 3 perovskite with PdSe 2 layer, a newly discovered TMDs material. Optoelectronic characterization reveals that the as‐assembled PdSe 2 /perovskite Schottky junction is sensitive to light illumination ranging from 200 to 1550 nm, with the highest sensitivity centered at ≈800 nm. The device also shows a large on/off ratio of ≈10 4 , a high responsivity ( R ) of 313 mA W −1 , a decent specific detectivity ( D *) of ≈10 13 Jones, and a rapid response speed of 3.5/4 µs. These figures of merit are comparable with or much better than most of the previously reported perovskite detectors. In addition, the PdSe 2 /perovskite device exhibits obvious sensitivity to polarized light, with a polarization sensitivity of 6.04. Finally, the PdSe 2 /perovskite detector can readily record five “P,” “O,” “L,” “Y,” and “U” images sequentially produced by 808 nm. These results suggest that the present PdSe 2 /perovskite Schottky junction photodetectors may be useful for assembly of optoelectronic system applications in near future.
