Abstract
We report the controllable synthesis of all-inorganic cesium lead iodide (CsPbI₃) nanorods (NRs) using pulsed laser ablation in liquid (PLAL), demonstrating a transformative approach for advancing optoelectronic device performance. By modulating laser fluence from 6.3 J/cm² to 9 J/cm², the aspect ratio of NRs increased from ∼1.3 to ∼4.0, accompanied by a quantum confinement-induced blue shift in photoluminescence from 424 nm to 400 nm. Structural analysis revealed a reduction in lattice strain by 28 % and a crystallite size enhancement from 30 nm to 55 nm at higher fluence, as evidenced by X-ray diffraction (XRD). Optoelectronic characterization of CsPbI₃/Si heterojunction photodetectors fabricated under optimized conditions (9 J/cm²) demonstrated a remarkable responsivity of 34 A/W, a detectivity of 6 × 10 ¹ ² Jones, and an external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 85 %, representing a 54 %, 50 %, and 98 % improvement, respectively, compared to devices synthesized at 6.3 J/cm². Measurements showed that high-fluence films responded more quickly (rise time 0.27 s, fall time 0.35 s), attributable to improved grain connectivity and a lower defect density. Elemental analysis confirmed a near-ideal Cs:Pb:I stoichiometry (1:1:3) with deviations below 2 % at optimal conditions, critical for ensuring high photoresponse stability. These results establish PLAL as a scalable method for engineering nanostructured perovskite materials with tailored properties, paving the way for high-sensitivity, high-performance photodetectors and other next-generation optoelectronic devices. The illuminated energy band diagram of CsPbI3/Si was constructed.
