Lead halide perovskites have emerged as attractive photoelectric
materials owing to their excellent performance, which demonstrates
great potential for application in the optoelectronic field. A basic
understanding of the photogenerated carrier transport in perovskite
photodetectors is critical to achieving high-performance devices.
Here, we reported the ultraviolet photodetectors with a fast response
based on the Au-coated CH3NH3PbBr3 perovskite nanowires, which were grown by an in situ solution method.
Interestingly, the devices exhibited negative differential resistance
(NDR) behaviors at high power intensity, relevant to the ion migration
in the nanowires. The carrier transport process and the state of energy
band bending were discussed in detail. This work provides a valuable
idea for designing fast-response photodetectors with the function
of memristors.
