Abstract
To improve and modulate the optoelectronic properties of single-crystal (SC) metal halide perovskites (MHPs), significant progress has been achieved. Polymer-assisted techniques are a great approach to control the growth rate of SCs effectively. However, the resultant optoelectrical properties induced by polymers are ambiguous and need to be taken into the consideration. In this study, we have synthesized methylammonium lead triiodide (MAPbI3) SCs using polyethylene glycol (PEG) and polystyrene (PS) polymers where PEG contains oxygen functionalities and PS does not. We studied the electrical properties of these SCs under dark and illumination conditions. It was observed that PEG-assisted SCs showed few defects with lower photocurrent as compared to the PS-assisted ones because of defect-mediated conductivity. The results are further verified by transient current response, responsivity, and capacitance–frequency measurements. The present study sheds light on the polymer selection for the growth of MHP SCs and their optoelectronic properties.
