Abstract A flexible photodetector based on the bulk heterojunction of an organometallic halide perovskites CH3NH3PbI3 and an organic dye Rhodamine B (RhB) has been fabricated via a solution casting process. It showed a high responsivity (Rmax=43.6 mA/W) to visible lights, short response time (tr~60 ms, td~40 ms), high on-off ratio (Ion/Ioff~287) and satisfactory stability because of its Schottky barrier structure and the dye enhanced light absorption.

Introduction Organometal halide perovskites (CH3NH3PbX3, X=I, Br, Cl) are attractive optoelectronic materials with high carrier mobility, high light absorption coefficients, proper energy band gaps and solution processability1-4,23. Therefore, they have been widely used for fabricating solar cells, photodiodes and phototransistors5-8,24-26, by using their thin films via precursor solution deposition (one or two steps9-10), vapor deposition11 and vapor assisted solution processes12. These devices usually have bilayer-heterojunction architectures just as our present work22. These architectures are convenient for manufacturing and processing, however, their interfaces between perovskites and other functional materials are much smaller than those of bulk-heterojunction architectures (BHJ). On the basis of this consideration, CH3NH3PbI3/rGO13, CH3NH3PbI3/A10C6014 and CH3NH3PbI3/ PC61BM15 hybrid bulk-heterojunction architectures have also been explored for the applications in photodetectors and solar cells. In a photodetector with bulk-heterojunction architecture, organic dye can be used as light- absorbing materials16-17.

As a common dye,Rhodamine shows a narrow absorption range and has been used in hybrid photodetectors as light-absorbing layer16-17. However, organic dye-perovskite hybrid photodetectors has not been widely studied18. Herein, we report a planar flexible CH3NH3PbI3 perovskite photodetector modified by Rhodamine B

with bulk-heterojunction architecture. Compared with intrinsic CH3NH3PbI3 perovskite photodetector, the organic dye-perovskite hybrid photodetector showed high responsivity (Rmax=43.6 mA/W) to 550 nm monochromatic light and high on-off ratio (Ion/Ioff ~286) to visible lights at a power of 500 µW cm–2. Furthermore, the hybrid photodetector exhibits ultra-short rise/decay time (tr~60 ms/ td~40 ms), favorable stability and good flexibility, making it has great potential for the applications in future flexible electronics.

Briefly, PEN (Polyethylene naphthalate two formic acid glycol) was selected as the flexible substrate and the interdigitated Au electrodes are designed with 50 µm finger width and interdigital width. Then, the interdigitated electrodes are fabricated by photolithography via a lift-off process after the evaporation deposition 5 nm-thick Cr (for enhancing adhesion of Au layer on PEN substrates) and 50 nm-thick Au on PEN substrate. The interdigitated Au electrodes are ultra-sonicated in acetone, ethanol, and isopropanol successively, treated by UV-Ozone before spin-coating. The perovskite precursor solution was prepared by using a reported method19. Then, a certain amount of Rhodamine B was dissolved into it

for 60 s and heated at 90 ℃ for 30 s to give a flexible CH3NH3PbI3/RhB photodetector.

Figure 1. (a) shows the X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns of pure CH3NH3PbI3 and the hybrid CH3NH3PbI3/RhB thin films. The (110), (220) and (330) diffraction peaks are assigned to crystalline CH3NH3PbI3 films. The introduction of RhB slightly decreased the crystallinity of CH3NH3PbI3, while did induce any new crystal pahse or impurities such as PbI2. Figure 1. (b) shows the UV-visible absorption spectra (from 400 to 700 nm) of pure CH3NH3PbI3, RhB and CH3NH3PbI3/RhB hybrid thin films, respectively. The hybrid film shows an enhanced absorption coefficient in the wavelength range 450 to 570 nm, mainly due to the synergetic effect of CH3NH3PbI3 and RhB. PL (photo luminescence) spectra of the two films on glass substrate inspired by 520 nm monochromatic light are shown in Figure S7. Normally, the pure CH3NH3PbI3 thin film exhibits a characteristic peak at nearly 780 nm. And in the CH3NH3PbI3/RhB hybrid films, the intensity of 780 nm peaks are weaker than the pure which is mainly due to the absorbance of the Rhodamine B to the 520 nm monochromatic light. It is worth noting that Figure 1. (c) and (d) demonstrate the SEM images of CH3NH3PbI3/RhB hybrid films (the SEM images of pure CH3NH3PbI3 films is shown in Figure S1). This film is uniform and compact. RhB represents a flower-like pattern in the hybrid thin film (Inset of Figure 1. (c)). A simlilar morphology has been also

can demonstrate the existence of RhB in the flower-like bulk-architectures due to the obvious N element peak in comparison. These SEM images clearly confirm the formation of a CH3NH3PbI3/RhB bulk-heterojunction architecture. The current-voltage (I-V) curves of the representing the photoelectric characteristics of CH3NH3PbI3/RhB hybrid photodetector are studied by using a Keithley 2600 Source Meter under the dark and illumination condition, respectively. A pure CH3NH3PbI3 flexible photodetector is also fabricated and measured under the same condition for comparison. Various monochromatic lights with diverse wavelengths (from 365 nm to 770 nm) were generated by a 300 W Xe lamp and filtered through the corresponding monochromators. A power meter was used for calibrating the diverse power of monochromatic light (ranging from 8 to 500 µW cm-2) All the measurements were performed in air at room temperature.

Figure 2.(a) shows the I-V curves of flexible CH3NH3PbI3/RhB photodetector illuminated under various monochromatic lights with a power of 500 µW/cm–2 and the bias voltage is from -5V to 5V (time-dependent photoresponse are shown in Figure S3 under the same conditions). For comparison, the I-V curves of the pure flexible CH3NH3PbI3 photodetector are shown in Figure 2. (b) in the same illumination condition. The photoelectric properties of the flexible CH3NH3PbI3/RhB photodetector with different concentrations of RhB are shown in Figure S2. It is easily found that when the wavelength of the monochromatic lights is 445, 550 and 650nm, flexible CH3NH3PbI3/RhB photodetector exhibits an enhancing photoelectric response compared to that of the pure flexible CH3NH3PbI3 photodetector. When the

applied voltage is 5 V and the power of light is 500 µW cm 2, the current of flexible CH3NH3PbI3/RhB photodetector for 445, 550 and 650 nm is about 2.3, 7.2 and 4.1µA , respectively, which is 2.52, 5.07 and 2.49 times larger than that of pure CH3NH3PbI3 flexible photodetector. Additionally, the on-off ratio of flexible CH3NH3PbI3/RhB photodetector is 287 which is about 11 times higher than that of the pure CH3NH3PbI3 photodetector with a value of 25.

For quantitatively descriptions of the performances of the photodetector, responsivity (R) and external quantum efficiency (EQE) should be studied. The spectral responsivity (R) can be expressed as R = (Iph - Idark)/(P × S), where Iph is the photocurrent, Idark is the dark current, P is the incident power density, S is the effective illuminated area with a value of 33 mm2 in this work. EQE can be expressed as EQE = (R × h × c)/(e × λ), where h is Planck’ s constant, c is the velocity of light, e is the charge of an electron, and λ is the wavelength of incident light. All the following parameters are calculated from the I-V curves of the photodetector. As shown in Figure 2.(c), when the applied voltage is 5 V, the responsivity of CH3NH3PbI3/RhB hybrid photodetector to 445, 550 and 650nm at a power of 500 µW cm–2 is 15.0, 43.6 and 25.2 mA/W, which is 2.5, 4.1 and 2.2 times larger than that of the pure CH3NH3PbI3, respectively. Figure 2. (d) shows the corresponding EQE of the CH3NH3PbI3 and CH3NH3PbI3/RhB photodetector, respectively. It shows the similar tendency with that of responsivity. Compared with the pure CH3NH3PbI3, the photoelectric properties of CH3NH3PbI3/RhB hybrid photodetector increase obviously under the wavelength from 400 to 700nm. And it is also found that the hybrid

photodetector is sensitive to 550 nm visible light more than 650 nm, which is different from that of pure CH3NH3PbI3. Figure 3. (a) shows the time-dependent photoresponse of the photodetector to 550nm-monochromatic light at a bias of 5V with diverse power density from 8 to 500 µW cm 2, and the detection limits of the photodetector is larger than 1 µW cm 2. As –



shown in Figure 3. (b), the hybrid photodetector exhibits fast rise/decay time (tr~60 ms/ td~40 ms) which is similar to other perovskite photodetector7,13. In practical applications, the lifetime of the photodetector is definitely an important parameter. For the flexible hybrid CH3NH3PbI3 photodetector without any treatment, the relative photoelectric response current reduces to less than 10% after 2 days in the air with 20–30% relative humidity. To improve the stability of the photodetector in the humid air, PMMA is used as a protective layer to eliminate the contact of the photodetector with the surrounding moisture, oxygen. In this case, the stability of the photodetector has been greatly improved and the relativeresponsivity only reduces by 9% in the air with 20–30% relative humidity after 14 days (Figure 3. (c)). The flexibility of the CH3NH3PbI3/RhB hybrid photodetector is also studied by bending to a radius of 9mm and repeated bending test. For reducing the abrasion of the CH3NH3PbI3 thin films during the bending process, flexible detector is protected by PMMA. While the CH3NH3PbI3/RhB hybrid photodetector is bent to a radius of 9 mm in the beginning, its responsivity exhibits a little bit decrease upon illumination with a visible light at 550 nm at 5V bias voltage as shown in Figure 3.(d) (the performance of the device bended in the same condition but illuminated under

different monochromatic lights is shown in Figure S5 and Figure S6). At the first 20 times bending cycles, the relative responsivity of the flexible photodetector declines to 94.0% and after 1000 bending/straitening cycles, relative responsivity of the flexible photodetector just declines to 92.7%. These results indicate that our hybrid photodetector has excellent mechanical flexibility and durability.

To explain the photoelectric characteristics of the photodetector, the schematic energy band (energy level) diagram is shown in Figure 4. When the pure perovskite photodetector operates in the dark, an asymmetrical Schottky barrier forms between Au and CH3NH3PbI3 due to the defect ions’ migration to the interface under the operation of bias voltage21. This Schottky barrier reduces the charge transferring in the photodetector resulting in a lower dark current (Figure 4. (a)). Figure S4 shows the influence on the time-dependent photoresponse with different bias. Under the light illumination, large amount of photo-generated carriers produced, leading to the demonstrable decline of the barrier height arises (Figure 4. (b)). Therefore, an obvious light-on current is detected at the fabricated photodetector on macroscopic view. As shown in Figure 4. (c), energy level illustrations briefly indicate the relative situation of the Rhodamine B and CH3NH3PbI3 in the hybrid bulk-heterojunction architectures. When illuminated by specific visible light, basically obeying a dye-sensitized mechanism, Rhodamine B is activated from the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO~ -5.3eV) to the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO~ -3.2eV), which subsequently injects an electron into the bottom of conducting band (EC~ -3.8eV) of perovskite. At the same time, a hole equally

migrates from the top of valence band (Ev~-5.4eV) of perovskite to HOMO of Rhodamine B as shown in Figure 4. (d) schematically. Furthermore, a part of RhB+ contacting with electrodes may transfer holes into the Au electrode (ϕ~-5.2eV). Under illumination, RhB provides electrons to perovskite and RhB+ gives part of the holes to electrodes, which is favourable for the separation of electrons and holes, thus reducing the recombination of the different carriers efficiently.

Conclusion

In conclusion, a hybrid planar flexible photodetectors are prepared based on perovskite-Rhodamine

bulk-heterojunction

architecture.

The

hybrid

CH3NH3PbI3/RhB flexible photodetectors show higher responsivity of about 43.6mA/W to specific visible light than the pure perovskite. It also exhibits fast rise/decay time (tr~60 ms/ td~40 ms), considerable switching on-off characteristics (Ion/Ioff ~286), good stability and flexibility. Being a dye sensitive to special wavelength illumination, Rhodamine B plays an important role in donating and transferring electrons, which also effectively reduce the recombination of the electrons and holes. Therefore, the hybrid CH3NH3PbI3/RhB flexible photodetectors exhibit excellent photoelectrical properties, which also provides a possibility of dye-sensitized perovskite bulk heterostructures in the photodetector applications.
