High-Performance Photodetectors Based on Single All-Inorganic CsPbBr3 Perovskite Microwire

In recent years, hybrid organic–inorganic perovskites have emerged as promising photosensing materials for next-generation solution-processed photodetectors, achieving high responsivity, fast speed, and large linear dynamic range. In particular, perovskite photoresistors possess low-cost fabrication and easy integration with low dimensional structures. However, a relatively large dark current is still limiting the further development of perovskite photoresistors. Herein, we introduce full-inorganic perovskite polycrystalline microwires for high-performance photodetection, in order to enhance the device stability. Furthermore, dark current and noise can be effectively suppressed by tuning the contacts. All-inorganic CsPbBr 3 microwires with a number of nanocrystals on the wire surface are prepared by a simple, low-cost, two-step, solution-processed method at room temperature. Photodetectors based on this CsPbBr 3 polycrystalline single microwire are assembled on indium tin oxide electrodes and demonstrate a decent responsivity up to 118 A/W and a fast response within 40 ms. In addition, such optimized photoresistors possess a fairly tiny dark current and noise, which result in an improved detectivity of >10 12 Jones and demonstrate excellent characteristics to detect weak light.
