Study of Metal–Semiconductor–Metal CH3NH3PbBr3 Perovskite Photodetectors Prepared by Inverse Temperature Crystallization Method

Abstract

Numerous studies have addressed the use of perovskite materials for fabricating a wide range of optoelectronic devices. This study employs the deposition of an electron transport layer of C60 and an Ag electrode on CH3NH3PbBr3 perovskite crystals to complete a photodetector structure, which exhibits a metal–semiconductor–metal (MSM) type structure. First, CH3NH3PbBr3 perovskite crystals were grown by inverse temperature crystallization (ITC) in a pre-heated circulator oven. This oven was able to supply uniform heat for facilitating the growth of high-quality and large-area crystals. Second, the different growth temperatures for CH3NH3PbBr3 perovskite crystals were investigated. The electrical, optical, and morphological characteristics of the perovskite crystals were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, and photoluminescence (PL). Finally, the CH3NH3PbBr3 perovskite crystals were observed to form a contact with the Ag/C60 as the photodetector, which revealed a responsivity of 24.5 A/W.

High‐Performance Self‐Powered Photodetectors with Space‐Confined Hybrid Lead Halide Perovskite Nanocrystals

“…Diffraction peaks at 14.7°, 29.9°, 45.6°, and 62.4° correspond to (100), (200), (300), and (400) crystal planes of MAPbBr 3 , respectively, indicating a tetragonal crystal structure. [ 27 ] The sharp diffraction peaks of MAPbBr 3 NCs exhibit high crystallinity, which is consistent with the TEM results. The above analyzes prove the space‐confined method can effectively regularize the crystal growth and guide a uniform distribution of MAPbBr 3 NCs in the m‐TiO 2 layer.…”

“…By controlling the combination and ratio of A, B, and X, different optical properties can be adjusted. MAPbX 3 and CsPbX 3 active layer in device structure mainly used in solar cells, photodetectors, optoelectronic devices, and light-emitting diodes (LEDs) [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14].…”

Recent advance of high-quality perovskite nanostructure and its application in flexible photodetectors

“…Inverse temperature crystallization is a universal method for synthesizing single-crystal perovskites, which is conducted within a closed system. The dynamic conditions for single crystal growth are provided by exploiting the difference in solubility at varying temperatures [64]. In 2021, Liu et al introduced an effective additive strategy to achieve 2 inch sized FAMACs single crystals through inverse temperature crystallization (figure 2(b)).…”
