Engineering Large-Grain Metal Halide Perovskite Films via Chemical Vapor Deposition for High-Performance, Ultralow-Noise Perovskite Photodetectors. [PDF]

Adv Sci (Weinh)
Chemical vapor deposition produces large‐grain, phase‐pure CsPbBr3 films (grains up to 35 µm) with Drude‐like terahertz photoconductivity and twofold higher carrier mobility versus spin‐coated references. These microstructural advances translate into photodetectors with a detectivity of 8.4 × 1012 Jones, dark current below 1 pA cm−2, X‐ray sensitivity ...
