Abstract
Organic–inorganic hybrid perovskites have exhibited unprecedented advantages for x-ray photon detection due to their exotic properties. Their high-crystalline quality has a great impact for high-detection sensitivity under a low electric field, especially related to the synthesis method. In this work, we analyze the capability of CH3NH3PbI3 (MAPbI3) perovskites as an x-ray detection material and propose to control the temperature gradient (TG) during the synthesis of MAPbI3 single crystal perovskites for device fabrication. Our results show that the decreasing TG can effectively reduce the trap density and improve the crystal quality, which could lead to a boosted sensitivity of 1471.7 μC/Gyair/cm2 under a low electric field of 3.3 V/mm. In addition, a higher detection sensitivity can be achieved by increasing the electric field. Our work presents a strategy to construct high-performance direct x-ray detectors.
