Highly Sensitive Self‐Powered 2D Perovskite Photodiodes with Dual Interface Passivations

Abstract 2D perovskites have attracted intensive attention by virtue of their excellent optical and electrical properties along with good stabilities. Herein, a highly sensitive self‐powered photodiode based on (PEA) 2 (MA) 4 Pb 5 I 16 (PEA=C 6 H 5 (CH 2 )NH 3 , MA=CH 3 NH 3 ) 2D perovskite is demonstrated by dual interface passivations. The Al 2 O 3 bottom passivation can reduce the pinhole defects in the 2D perovskite film and suppress the trap‐related recombination loss, bringing forward much reduced dark current and increased photocurrent. The poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) top passivation can encapsulate the 2D perovskite film and thus improve the stability of the device. These results show that the 2D perovskite‐based photodiode with dual interface passivations exhibits a large photo‐to‐dark current ratio of 10 7 , a fast response speed of 597 ns and a linear dynamic range of 160 dB without bias. Responsivity ( R ) and detectivity ( D* ) respectively reach 0.36 A W −1 and 5.4 × 10 12 Jones under 532 nm laser illumination at a power density of 1.5 nW cm −2 . Moreover, the dual interface passivated device exhibits good stabilities. This study paves the road for developing low‐cost, low‐power, solution processed image sensors.
