Abstract
In this study, we report the fabrication of a sensitive deep ultraviolet (DUV) photodetector by using CsPbBr3 nanosheets synthesized through confined-space growth at room temperature. The peak photoresponse of the device upon illumination blueshifts with decreasing thickness and a 68 nm CsPbBr3 nanosheet based device displays a peak response to 265 nm illumination, showing responsivity and specific detectivity of 85 mA/W and 4.05 × 1011 Jones at 3 V bias, respectively. Theoretical simulation reveals that the blueshift is associated with the wavelength-dependent absorption coefficient of CsPbBr3 nanosheet: incident light with shorter wavelengths can be absorbed on the superficial surface, while long-wavelength light has a larger penetration depth, leading to dominant DUV absorption in thinner CsPbBr3 nanosheet. This work will shed light on the facile and cost-effective fabrication of DUV photodetectors from non-ultrawide bandgap (UWBG) all-inorganic perovskite materials.
