Laser-Induced Optoelectronic and Crystallographic Tuning of Methyl Ammonium Iodobismuthate Perovskite for Improved Performance of Sandwiched a?? Type Photodetectors

摘要： Towards development of high-performance perovskite based photodetectors, it is required that optical and crystallographic properties of perovskites materials be enhanced through perovskites materials modification. Many attempts on this quest result in alteration of chemical structure of perovskites materials through introduction of dopants. Here in, we present a clean and structural preservative technique of tuning optical and crystallographic properties of bismuth based lead free perovskite materials through irradiation with 2.5 mJ laser pulses ejected from Nd:YAG LASER operating in its second harmonics. XRD spectra show improved crystallinity and reduced crystallite size, SEM images show defect – minimized surface morphology, PL spectra show minimized rate of Auger recombination and absorbance spectra show improved absorbance at a constant band gap value. Consequently, simplified sandwiched architectural type photodetectors fabricated with the modified bismuth based perovskite materials display maximum photodetectivity of 4.5 × 109 Jones, maximum photoresponsivity of 25 μA/W, maximum photosensitivity of about 104 and minimum optical switching times of 10 ms under testing conditions of -2 V bias voltage, 15 mW/cm2 incident solar light and room temperature. Thus, laser pulses irradiation presents an alternative method of enhancing optical and crystallographic properties of perovskite materials from which highly efficient classes of photonics and photovoltaic devices can be developed.
