Enhancement
in weak-light detection and other photodetection properties
was observed for organic–inorganic halide perovskite photodetectors
as a result of benzylammonium iodide (BzAI) treatment at the methylammonium
lead triiodide (MAPbI3) and hole-transport layer (HTL)
interface. After treatment, growth of the two-dimensional Ruddlesden–Popper
perovskite phase was observed at the MAPbI3 surface, which
shifted the overall surface work function upwards and thus effectively
facilitated charge transfer across the MAPbI3/HTL interface.
As a result, the fully fabricated device with 10 mg/mL (BzAI/isopropanol)
treatment exhibited shorter rise time (trise) and decay time (tdecay) of 53 and 38
μs, respectively, compared to trise and tdecay of 214 and 120 μs,
respectively, for the pristine MAPbI3 sample. In addition,
the BzAI-treated device exhibited larger linearity compared to the
pristine MAPbI3 sample, demonstrating a high and stable
specific detectivity of 1.49 × 1013 to 2.14 ×
1013 Jones under incident light intensity of 10–3 to 100 mW/cm2, respectively.
