AbstractHybrid organic–inorganic perovskite materials provide noteworthy compact systems that could offer ground-breaking architectures for dynamic operations and advanced engineering in high-performance energy-harvesting optoelectronic devices. Here, we demonstrate a highly effective self-powered perovskite-based photodiode with an electron-blocking hole-transport layer (NiOx). A high value of responsivity (R = 360 mA W−1) with good detectivity (D = 2.1 × 1011 Jones) and external quantum efficiency (EQE = 76.5%) is achieved due to the excellent interface quality and suppression of the dark current at zero bias voltage owing to the NiOx layer, providing outcomes one order of magnitude higher than values currently in the literature. Meanwhile, the value of R is progressively increased to 428 mA W−1 with D = 3.6 × 1011 Jones and EQE = 77% at a bias voltage of − 1.0 V. With a diode model, we also attained a high value of the built-in potential with the NiOx layer, which is a direct signature of the improvement of the charge-selecting characteristics of the NiOx layer. We also observed fast rise and decay times of approximately 0.9 and 1.8 ms, respectively, at zero bias voltage. Hence, these astonishing results based on the perovskite active layer together with the charge-selective NiOx layer provide a platform on which to realise high-performance self-powered photodiode as well as energy-harvesting devices in the field of optoelectronics.

Abstract Infrared optoelectronic devices are capable of operating in harsh environments with outstanding confidentiality and reliability. Nevertheless, suffering from the large band gap value, most semiconductor materials are difficult to detect infrared light signals. Here, Mg2Si/Si heterojunction photodetectors (PDs), which possess the advantages of low-cost, easy process, environmental friendliness, and compatibility with silicon CMOS technology, have been reported with a broadband spectral response as tested from 532 to 1550 nm under zero-bias. When the incident light wavelength is 808 nm, the Mg2Si/Si photodetector (PD) has a responsivity of 1.04 A/W and a specific detectivity of 1.51 × 1012 Jones. Furthermore, we find that the Ag nanoparticles (Ag_NPs) assembled on the Mg2Si layer can greatly improve the performance of the Mg2Si/Si PD. The responsivity and specific detectivity of Mg2Si/Si device with Ag_NPs under 808 nm illumination are 2.55 A/W and 2.60 × 1012 Jones, respectively. These excellent photodetection performances can be attributed to the high-quality of our grown Mg2Si material and the strong built-in electric field effect in the heterojunction, which can be further enhanced by the local surface plasmon effect and local electromagnetic field induced by Ag_NPs. Our study would provide significant guidance for the development of new self-powered infrared PDs based on silicon materials.

In this work, we design and demonstrate a graphene/silicon (Gr/Si) van der Walls (vdW) heterostructure for high-performance photodetectors, where graphene acts as an efficient carrier collector and Si as a photon absorption layer. The Gr/Si heterojunction exhibits superior Schottky diode characteristics with a barrier height of 0.76 eV and performs well as a self-powered detector responding to 532 nm at zero bias.

Coaxial fiber-shaped supercapacitors with short charge carrier diffusion paths are highly desirable as high-performance energy storage devices for wearable electronics. However, the traditional approaches based on the multistep fabrication processes for constructing the fiber-shaped energy device still encounter persistent restrictions in fabrication procedure, scalability, and mechanical durability. To overcome this critical challenge, an all-in-one coaxial fiber-shaped asymmetric supercapacitor (FASC) device is realized by a direct coherent multi-ink writing three-dimensional printing technology via designing the internal structure of the coaxial needles and regulating the rheological property and the feed rates of the multi-ink. Benefitting from the compact coaxial structure, the FASC device delivers a superior areal energy/power density at a high mass loading, and outstanding mechanical stability. As a conceptual exhibition for system integration, the FASC device is integrated with mechanical units and pressure sensor to realize high-performance self-powered mechanical devices and monitoring systems, respectively.

AbstractIn this manuscript, the inorganic perovskite CsPbI2Br and CsPbIBr2 are investigated as photoactive materials that offer higher stability than the organometal trihalide perovskite materials. The fabrication methods allow anti-solvent processing the CsPbIxBr3−x films, overcoming the poor film quality that always occur in a single-step solution process. The introduced diethyl ether in spin-coating process is demonstrated to be successful, and the effects of the anti-solvent on film quality are studied. The devices fabricated using the methods achieve high-performance, self-powered and the stabilized photodetectors show fast response speed. The results illustrate a great potential of all-inorganic CsPbIxBr3−x perovskites in visible photodetection and provide an effective way to achieve high performance devices with self-powered capability.
