A trifluoromethyl group-incorporated spacer in 2D perovskite-based photodetectors with good responsivity and a big Pb–I–Pb bond angle: the first example of an aliphatic linearly-chained spacer forming non-classical hydrophobic hydrogen bonding†‡
Abstract
For the first time, we report a trifluoromethyl group-incorporated aliphatic linearly-chained 2D (3F-PAH)2PbI4 halide perovskite (HP) with a low bandgap of 2.28 eV, minimal Pb–I–Pb bond angle distortion (∼153.5°) and a unique fluorous phase. The photodetector (PD) demonstrates good responsivity (600 mA W−1) and fast response/recovery times (74/98 ms) at 5 V under 450 nm light, making it ideal for next-generation optoelectronic devices.
