Abstract
An organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite nanowire (NW), CH3NH3PbI3, shows great potential for high-performance photodetectors due to its excellent photoresponse. However, the inefficient carrier collection between the one-dimensional (1D) NWs and metallic electrodes, as well as degradation of the perovskite, limits the viability of the CH3NH3PbI3 NWs for commercial production. Here, we demonstrate a photodetector with a mixed-dimensional van der Waals heterostructure of hexagonal boron nitride (hBN)/graphene (Gr)/1D CH3NH3PbI3, which exhibits excellent responsivity and specific detectivity of up to 558 A/W and 2.3 × 1012 Jones, owing to the improved carrier extraction at the electrical contact between Gr and the NW. As for the atomic encapsulation of hBN, the device is extremely robust and maintains its outstanding performance for more than 2 months when exposed to air. Moreover, benefitting from the 1D geometry of the CH3NH3PbI3 NW, our device is highly sensitive to polarized light. The mixed-dimensional van der Waals heterostructure, hBN/Gr/1D CH3NH3PbI3, would provide a novel idea and protocol for fabricating high-performance and air-stable photoelectronic devices based on organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite NWs.
