Abstract

AbstractSelf‐powered broadband photodetectors exhibit excellent self‐powered and wide‐band photoresponse from visible to infrared region and attract enormous attention due to their promising applications in imaging, sensing, and optical communication. PbSe colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) and halide perovskites nanocrystals (NCs) are commonly used for photodetectors due to their strong absorption capability, tunable bandgap, and high aspect ratio. However, due to suffering from low charge carrier mobility and high trap density, the performance of individual PbSe CQDs and perovskites‐based photodetectors is not satisfactory. Integration of PbSe CQDs with inorganic mixed‐halide perovskite nanomaterials can provide an opportunity to overcome these drawbacks. In this work, a hybrid nanocomposite of PbSe CQDs blended with all‐inorganic mixed halide perovskite NCs is integrated to fabricate bulk‐heterojunction‐based high‐performance photodetectors. The transportation of photogenerated carriers is enhanced by employing electrons‐ and holes‐extracting layers. As a result, the photoresponsivity of 6.16 A W−1 and a specific detectivity of 5.96 × 1013 Jones with an ON/OFF current ratio of 105 is obtained for bulk‐heterojunction photodetector ITO/ZnO/PbSe:CsPbBr1.5I1.5/P3HT/Au in the self‐powered mode. Meanwhile, the device performance of the fabricated photodetector is numerically simulated by using Technology Computer‐Aided Design software, and the physical mechanisms for photogenerated carriers’ transportation are discussed in detail.
