Effect of Metal-Organic Frameworks with Different Ligand Structures (ZIF-11 & ZIF-23) on the Optoelectronic Performance of Perovskite Photodetectors.

Abstract

Crystal engineering using passivation to reduce perovskite defects is crucial to improving the quality of perovskite crystals and optoelectronic properties. Because of their unique properties, metal-organic framework materials have been used as an emerging and effective passivator for perovskite materials and optoelectronic devices. This paper focuses on the differences in the optoelectronic properties of zeolite imidazolium ester framework materials (ZIF-11 & ZIF-23) doped with different conjugated ring ligands for perovskite photodetectors. This paper proposes a simple and effective method to dope zeolite imidazolium ester framework nanoparticles (ZIF-11 & ZIF-23) into organic-inorganic perovskite MAPbI3 films. The crystalline quality of the perovskite films was improved after doping with ZIF-11 and ZIF-23. Meanwhile, the performance of the planar photoconductive devices was significantly improved. The photoresponsivity of the photodetector doped with ZIF-23 was 0.185A/W, and the detectivity was 4.22 × 1012 Jones. The photoresponsivity of the photodetector doped with ZIF-23 was 0.164 A/W, and the detectivity was 3.27 × 1012 Jones. The devices maintained long-time operational stability, operating without significant degradation for 480 s under the 1.2 V bias voltage operating condition. In addition, we observed a significant suppression of the ion migration process in ZIF-23 for a voltage-controlled ion migration process. The potential application of perovskite and MOF heterojunction materials for image information acquisition and storage is demonstrated.
