Abstract

Abstract: Self‐powered perovskite photodetectors (PDs) have attracted tremendous interest for their promising advantages such as fast response speed and high detectivity. However, they usually suffer from severe operating instability issues stemming from the poor film quality, impurity phase formation, and numerous surface defects. Herein, the high performance and stable self‐powered PD based on CsPbBr3 film is demonstrated using a multistep spin‐coating method. The annealing temperature of lead bromide (PbBr2 ) films and the spin‐cycles of cesium bromide (CsBr) are prioritized, which are two key factors for realizing efficient devices during multistep deposition of perovskite films. Results illustrate that these two factors affect the crystallization, covering properties, and the composition of the final film. The CsPbBr3 film prepared from PbBr2 treatment at 100 °C and CsBr spin‐coating for 8‐cycles has full coverage, higher phase purity, larger grain size, higher crystallinity, and fewer defects compared with the other counterparts. Therefore, the self‐powered PD based on optimized CsPbBr3 film achieves an excellent specific detectivity of 7.01 × 10 12 Jones at 520 nm at 0 V bias voltage. In addition, 96.6% of the original photocurrent can be maintained after operating for 3600 s with 93% long‐term storage (8 weeks) in ambient air, indicating its potential applications in optoelectronics field. Abstract : A high air‐stability of self‐powered photodetector based on CsPbBr3 thin film using a multistep spin‐coating method is achieved, which exhibits a response in the 350–520 nm range and delivers high‐performance with a detectivity of 7.01 × 10 12 Jones, a photoresponsivity of 0.4 A W −1, and a rise/fall time of 10 µs/27 µs at 0 V bias.
