Symmetry-broken-induced spin splitting plays a key role for selective circularly polarized light absorption and spin carrier transport. Asymmetrical chiral perovskite is rising as the most promising material for direct semiconductor-based circularly polarized light detection. However, the increase of asymmetry factor and extension of response region remain to be a challenge. Herein, we fabricated a two-dimensional tin-lead mixed chiral perovskite with tunable absorption in the visible region. Theoretical simulation indicates that the mixing of the tin and lead in chiral perovskite breaks the symmetry of the pure ones, resulting in pure spin splitting. We then fabricated a chiral circularly polarized light detector based on this tin-lead mixed perovskite. A high asymmetry factor for the photocurrent of 0.44 is achieved, which is 144% higher than pure lead 2D perovskite, and it is the highest value reported for the pure chiral 2D perovskite-based circularly polarized light detector using a simple device structure.
