Growth and High-Performance Photodetectors of CsPbBr(3) Single Crystals

[Image: see text] Organic–inorganic hybrid perovskites have demonstrated exceptional photovoltaic properties, making them highly promising for solar cells and photodetectors (PDs). However, the organic components of these materials are vulnerable to heat and strong light illumination, limiting their application prospects. All-inorganic cesium-based perovskite PDs, on the other hand, possess enhanced thermal tolerance and stability, making them ideal for perovskite applications. The utilization of a ternary mixture solvent and additives in combination with single crystal (SC) growth has enabled the production of highly crystalline SCs with a defect density of 3.79 × 10(9) cm(–3). The performance of the SC PDs had been evaluated using metal–semiconductor–metal devices, which demonstrated excellent results with a dark current as low as 0.198 μA at 10 V bias, on–off ratios exceeding 10(3), and a response time of shorter than 1 ms.
