In Situ Growth of 120 cm² CH₃NH₃PbBr₃ Perovskite Crystal Film on FTO Glass for Narrowband‐Photodetectors

Organometal trihalide perovskites have been attracting intense attention due to their enthralling optoelectric characteristics. Thus far, most applications focus on polycrystalline perovskite, which however, is overshadowed by single crystal perovskite with superior properties such as low trap density, high mobility, and long carrier diffusion length. In spite of the inherent advantages and significant optoelectronic applications in solar cells and photodetectors, the fabrication of large‐area laminar perovskite single crystals is challenging. In this report, an ingenious space‐limited inverse temperature crystallization method is first demonstrated to the in situ synthesis of 120 cm² large‐area CH₃NH₃PbBr₃ crystal film on fluorine‐doped tin oxide (FTO) glass. Such CH₃NH₃PbBr₃ perovskite crystal film is successfully applied to narrowband photodetectors, which enables a broad linear response range of 10⁻⁴–10² mW cm⁻², 3 dB cutoff frequency (f _{3 dB}) of ≈110 kHz, and high narrow response under low bias −1 V.
