A facile approach to fabricate high-quality perovskite films and optoelectronic devices by pen-writing is reported. With perovskite material and graphite as the photosensitive layer and the electrode, perovskite photodetector arrays are written on paper.
Intercalation regulation is a special way to tune the photophysical properties of perovskite without changing the organic cations. Here, it is found that dimethyl sulfoxide can be effectively intercalated into synthesized (OHC6H5CH2CH2NH3)2PbBr4 perovskite through hydrogen bonds between organic spacer layers and solvent molecules. The new intercalated perovskite can be stored for more than two months under a relative humidity of about 60% at room temperature without encapsulation. The single crystal microwire array device based on this special structure presents photoelectric response of a light on/off ratio of 400 under 365 nm irradiation at 3 V. The device has a low dark current of 10−13 A. Moreover, the inserted solvent molecules can be removed from the perovskite or reinserted into the perovskite under different processing conditions. The results show the potential to regulate the optoelectronic properties of perovskites by reversibly binding intercalated molecules with perovskites.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
