Abstract

The family of polar hybrid perovskites, in which bulk photovoltaic effects (BPVEs) drive steady photocurrent without bias voltage, have shown promising potentials in self-powered polarization-sensitive photodetection. However, reports of BPVEs in 3D perovskites remain scare, being mainly hindered by the limited dipole moment or lack of symmetry breaking. Herein, a polar 3D perovskitoid, (BDA)Pb2 Br6 (BDA=NH3 C4 H8 NH3 ), where the spontaneous polarization (Ps )-induced BPVE drives self-powered photodetection of polarized-light is reported. Emphatically, the edge-sharing Pb2 Br10 dimer building unit allows the optical anisotropy and polarity in 3D (BDA)Pb2 Br6 , which triggers distinct optical absorption dichroism ratio of ≈2.80 and BPVE dictated photocurrent of 3.5µAcm-2 . Strikingly, these merits contribute to a polarization-sensitive photodetection with a high polarization ratio (≈4) under self-powered mode, beyond those of 2D hybrid perovskites and inorganic materials. This study highlights the potential of polar 3D perovskitoids toward intelligent optoelectronic applications.
