Abstract

Perovskite-based photodetectors have great potential in light-signal conversion; the suppression of the dark current is regarded as one of the main concerns within the academic research communities to achieve a high-performance photodetector. Interfacial engineering in the transport layer is considered as one of the most essential methods for enhancement of perovskite photodetectors. Here, a nanocomposite thin film of tetra-sulfonated copper phthalocyanines and reduced graphene oxide (TSCuPc/rGO) was investigated as the interfacial layer in perovskite-based photodetectors. Photodetectors with the TS-CuPc/rGO thin film as the interfacial layer exhibited a low dark current density of 2.2 � 108 A cm2 at bias of 0.1 V as well as high responsivity and detectivity of �357 mA W1 and �4.2 � 1012 jones, respectively; moreover, we observed an ON/OFF ratio of 7.33 � 103 to 520 nm light with an intensity of �0.077 mW cm2 . Our study revealed that with rGO additives, TS-CuPc molecules were favorable for the formation of an edge-on stacking film with high crystallinity. The rGO-induced crystalline TS-CuPc thin film with lower crystallographic defects effectively reduced the carrier recombination rate at the interfaces, leading to a suppressed dark current and enhanced photocurrent in the photodetector device, when compared to the less crystalline TS-CuPc layer.
