Controlling defects and energy‐band alignments are of paramount importance to the development of high‐performance perovskite‐based photodiodes. Yet, concurrent improvements in interfacial contacts and defect reduction simply by tailoring bottom contacts have not been investigated. An effective strategy is reported that can simultaneously improve energy‐band alignments and structural defects by introducing low‐dimensional contact (LDC) layers at the bottom interface. It is found that LDC‐based perovskites considerably suppress undesirable structural defects induced by microstrains, resulting in reduced nonradiative recombination centers and improved carrier lifetimes. Additionally, the resulting LDC‐based interface structures help block minority carrier injection from the electrodes by forming built‐in electric fields. As a consequence, LDC‐based perovskite photodiodes showed improved light detection capabilities. The result opens an avenue to yield highly efficient photodiodes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
