Abstract

Highly sensitive broadband photodetectors are critical to numerous cutting-edge technologies such as biomedical imaging, environment monitoring, and night vision. Here, phototransistors based on mixed Sn/Pb perovskites are reported, which demonstrate ultrahigh responsivity, gain and specific detectivity in a broadband from ultraviolet to near-infrared region. The interface properties of the perovskite phototransistors are optimized by a special three-step cleaning-healing-cleaning treatment, leading to a high hole mobility in the channel. The highly sensitive performance of the mixed Sn/Pb perovskite phototransistors can be attributed to the vertical compositional heterojunction automatically formed during the film deposition, which is helpful for the separation of photocarriers thereby enhancing a photogating effect in the perovskite channel. This work demonstrates a convenient approach to achieving high-performance phototransistors through tuning compositional gradient in mixed-metal perovskite channels.
