High performance CH3NH3PbI3 perovskite photodetector functionalized by T-Ag plasmonic nanostructure

Abstract

Photodetectors with ultrathin thickness and high efficiency are increasingly needed in the developing of wearable devices. However, the very limited active layer thickness has seriously restricted the photoelectric conversion efficiency. Here, the optical nanostructure fabricated with the assistance of self-assembly polystyrene mask layer has been integrated to increase the light absorption capacity by simultaneously utilizing the local surface plasma resonance, gap plasma, and the microcavity resonance effect. With the incorporation of triangular silver (T-Ag) nanostructure, the photogenerated current and response speed have significantly enhanced 481.25% and 26.30%, respectively. This strategy provides a viable way to design high-efficiency ultra-thin photodetectors.
