Spray-coated CsPbBr3/CsPb2Br5 thin film photodetectors from nanocrystalline inks

Abstract

Herein, we developed a simple approach for the fabrication of thin film inorganic perovskite and perovskite-related photoconductors. First, we synthesized CsPbBr₃ and CsPb₂Br₅ nanoink solutions under near-ambient conditions. Next, we demonstrated the deposition of thin films with tunable properties from these nanoinks using a scalable spray-coting process with a commercial airbrush at low temperature. Eventually, the photoresponse of different films was recorded under monochromatic blue light. The photocurrent increased linearly with input power and exhibited a difference of over three orders of magnitude between photocurrent and dark current.
