All-Inorganic Perovskite Nanowires–InGaZnO Heterojunction for High-Performance Ultraviolet–Visible Photodetectors

Inorganic cesium lead halide perovskites have attracted intense interest in optoelectronic applications due to the relatively stable performance in air. However, most reported inorganic perovskite-based optoelectronic devices exhibit low photosensitivity, which greatly hinders their further applications. Here, we first demonstrate a hybrid optical structure, which combines the n-type thin-film InGaZnO and the all-inorganic perovskite nanowires of CsPbBr 3 together. By this way, excellent optical and electrical properties such as a low dark current of 10 –10 A (at −5 V), a high I ph / I dark of 1.2 × 10 4, a response time of 2 ms and photoresponsivity of 3.794 A/W have been obtained. It is also found that the photodetector shows good stability in air ambient for 2 months with little reduction in performance. Moreover, such hybrid photodetectors exhibit enhanced photocurrent and I ph / I dark in high-temperature environment. This work paves a new way for high-performance photodetectors and points out the possible application of the inorganic cesium lead halide perovskites in harsh environment.
