Reducing current fluctuation of Cs3Bi2Br9 perovskite photodetectors for diffuse reflection imaging with wide dynamic range - 麦文杰教授实验组

Recently, the newly booming metal halide perovskites have attracted extensive attention worldwide due to their outstanding optoelectronic performance, and are expected to be ideal candidates for photodetectors (PDs). However, there is still lack of perovskite PDs-based imaging devices coming into commercialization stage, due to some practical reasons including toxicity brought by lead-based perovskites and the large light current fluctuations. In this paper, for the first time we fabricate a lead-free Cs3Bi2Br9 perovskite PD, and build a prototype of this perovskite PD-based imaging system with diffuse reflection imaging mode. Moreover, we propose a new parameter F related to light current fluctuation to evaluate imaging performance of a PD especially for weak diffuse light condition, and prove its usability by comparison of unoptimized lead-free Cs(3)Bi(2)Br(9 )perovskite PD and atomic layer deposition (ALD) optimized Cs3Bi2Br9 PD. ALD-optimization can improve the quality of perovskite film and suppress the dark current and current fluctuation. Finally, we obtain satisfactory diffuse reflection images of 2D and 3D objects with wide dynamic range. Therefore, the ALD-optimized Cs3Bi2Br9 PD has addressed two major concerns about perovskite PDs-based imaging devices, that may extend application of perovskite materials and improve imaging quality.
