Abstract
High
crystallinity and low trap density are fundamental prerequisites
for perovskite materials to achieve high performance in optoelectronic
applications. Compared with their well-developed lead (Pb)-based counterparts,
bismuth (Bi)-based perovskites exhibit inferior performance, primarily
due to poor crystallization and high defect concentrations in polycrystalline
films. The fabrication of smooth, compact Cs3Bi2I9 films with distinctly visible large-sized grains remains
a significant challenge. Herein, we prepared high-quality Cs3Bi2I9 films with large grains by promoting
ripening growth of small grains via a modified antisolvent strategy.
The resulting Cs3Bi2I9 films exhibited
enhanced crystallinity and absorption, along with reduced defect density
and suppressed nonradiative recombination, which are conducive to
the fabrication of high-performance photodetectors. Self-powered photodetectors
assembled from these Cs3Bi2I9 films
demonstrated an on/off ratio of up to 1.2 × 105, a
responsivity (R) of 0.44 mA/W, and a specific detectivity (D*) of
4.12 × 1010 Jones under 1 sun illumination. This work
paves the way for the preparation of high-quality Bibased perovskite
films and highlights their potential in optoelectronic applications.
