Multi-inch single-crystalline perovskite membrane for high-detectivity flexible photosensors

摘要： Single crystalline perovskites exhibit high optical absorption, long carrier lifetime, large carrier mobility, low trap-state-density and high defect tolerance. Unfortunately, all single crystalline perovskites attained so far are limited to bulk single crystals and small area wafers. As such, it is impossible to design highly demanded ?exible single-crystalline electronics and wearable devices including displays, touch sensing devices, transistors, etc. Herein we report a method of induced peripheral crystallization to prepare large area ?exible single-crystalline membrane (SCM) of phenylethylamine lead iodide (C6H5C2H4NH3)2PbI4 with area exceeding 2500 mm2 and thinness as little as 0.6 μm. The ultrathin ?exible SCM exhibits ultralow defect density, superior uniformity and long-term stability. Using the superior ultrathin membrane, a series of ?exible photosensors were designed and fabricated to exhibit very high external quantum ef?ciency of 26530%, responsivity of 98.17 A W?1 and detectivity as much as 1.62 × 1015 cm Hz1/2 W?1 (Jones).
