Perovskite photodetector based on CH3NH3PbI3 thin film arrays

Photodetector arrays made of halide perovskite are highly required in the area of imaging, optical communication and other fifields. However, halide perovskite can be easily dissolved by conventional solvents (including developer), which makes it incompatible with photolithography process.

Herein, a novel method based on spin coating (the polar perovskite precursor solution only infifiltrates the hydrophilic pattern area) and low-temperature annealing has been proposed to prepare perovskite arrays, which can solve the problem of incompatibility between polar solvents and perovskite materials. The fabricated photodetector based on CH3NH3PbI3 thin fifilm arrays exhibits good photoelectric performance, with a high detectivity of 4.7 × 1011 Jones and the responsivity of 0.055 A/W under 530 nm light irradiation.
