Organolead trihalide perovskites are shown to exhibit the best of both worlds: charge-carrier mobilities around 10 cm2 V−1 s−1 and low bi-molecular charge-recombination constants. The ratio of the two is found to defy the Langevin limit of kinetic charge capture by over four orders of magnitude. This mechanism causes long (micrometer) charge-pair diffusion lengths crucial for flat-heterojunction photovoltaics.

Article Synopsis
  • X-ray detectors need to minimize radiation exposure while maintaining high sensitivity and low detection limits to ensure safety in medical and security applications.
  • Organolead trihalide perovskites are effective for X-ray detection but pose health and environmental risks due to lead content.
  • The study introduces a BiI/BiI/BiI van der Waals heterostructure as a safe alternative, achieving impressive sensitivity, low detection limits, and stability, encouraging further exploration of non-toxic materials for next-generation X-ray detectors.

A high-quality organolead trihalide perovskite film with large-sized crystalline grains and smooth surfaces is required to obtain efficient perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Herein, high-quality (FAPbI)(MAPbBr) perovskite films were fabricated using trimesic acid (TMA) additives in a halide perovskite precursor solution to obtain efficient PSCs. The X-ray diffraction analysis and scanning electron microscopy of the films revealed that the TMA had a significant effect on the roughness of the films by acting as a surface link, thus reducing the surface defects and recombination at the grain boundaries.

Organolead trihalide perovskite single crystals (SCs) offer unprecedented opportunity for X-ray and visible light detection. Nevertheless, it remains a challenge to keep simultaneous high-performance and stability at a high-temperature working mode. Herein, formamidinium lead bromide (FAPbBr) SCs are developed to successfully address these issues.

Cesium Doping for Performance Improvement of Lead(II)-acetate-Based Perovskite Solar Cells.

Lead(II)-acetate (Pb(Ac)) is a promising lead source for the preparation of organolead trihalide perovskite materials, which avoids the use of inconvenient anti-solvent treatment. In this study, we investigated the effect of cesium doping on the performance of Pb(Ac)-based perovskite solar cells (PSCs). We demonstrate that the quality of the CHNHPbI perovskite film was improved with increased crystallinity and reduced pinholes by doping the perovskite with 5 mol% cesium.

Organolead trihalide perovskites have attracted significant attention for optoelectronic applications due to their excellent physical properties in the past decade. Generally, both grain boundaries in perovskite films and the device structure play key roles in determining the device performance, especially for horizontal-structured device. Here, the first optimized vertical-structured photodetector with the perovskite single crystal MAPbBr as the light absorber and graphene as the transport layer is shown.
