A high-performance and broadband two-dimensional perovskite-based photodetector via van der Waals integration

Van der Waals (vdW) integration of two-dimensional (2D) nanosheets provides the possibility to design optoelectronic devices with extended functionality in a controllable manner. Here, by leveraging the appropriate energy band alignment and the high-efficiency charge transfer at the junction, we construct the MoS2/graphene/2D-perovskite vdW heterostructure, which realizes the highly sensitive and broadband photodetection. Particularly, at the near-infrared (NIR) wavelength (λ = 1550 nm), the heterostructure photodetector shows a balanced trade-off between the high responsivity (>3000 A/W) and fast response time (<1 ms), outperforming the previously reported NIR photodetectors based on all-inorganic vdW heterostructures. Our work not only extends the response wavelength of the 2D hybrid perovskite-based photodetector to the NIR range, but also offers additional insight into optoelectronic devices via vdW integration engineering.
