Organic–inorganic hybrid material
is a recent hot topic
in the scientific community. The best band gap for the entire solar
absorption spectrum is about 1.1 eV. However, the lead perovskite
band gap is about 1.5 eV. Therefore, developing organic–inorganic
hybrid material toward the broader light harvesting of the solar spectrum
is extremely urgent. In this study, we prepare three kinds of organic–inorganic
hybrid palladium perovskite materials, including (CH

this is the first study that discusses adsorption properties and photoelectric
behavior of organic–inorganic hybrid palladium perovskite materials.
Interestingly, the photoelectric response of the devices based on

reaches 950 nm. The results
will attract attention in the fields of optical recorders, optical
memory, security, light capture, and light treatment.
