Abstract

Inorganic perovskites have received much attention due to their stability and high performance in luminescence, photoelectric conversion, and photodetection. However, perovskite optoelectronic devices prepared by the solution technique are still suffering from time-consuming and complex operations. In this paper, a single-crystal perovskite-based photodetector (PD) is prepared by very fast one-step deposition of synthesizing microplatelets (MPs) on the electrode directly. The saturated precursor is carefully optimized by adding appropriate antisolvent chlorobenzene (CB) to fabricate the MPs with their PL wavelength ranging from 418 to 600 nm. Furthermore, the PDs with a low dark current on order of nanoangstroms, high responsivity and detectivity of up to 10.7 A W-1 and 1012 Jones, respectively, and an ultrafast response rate featured by 278/287 μs (rise/decay time) are achieved. These all-inorganic perovskite PDs with a simple fabricating process and tunable detection wavelength meet the evolution tendency of PDs toward low cost and high performance, which is a high-profile strategy to realize high-performance perovskite PDs.
