Ambipolar Solution-processed Hybrid Perovskite Phototransistors

Organolead halide perovskites have attracted substantial attention due to their excellent physical properties, which enable them to serve as the active material in emerging hybrid solid-state solar cells. Here we investigate the phototransistors based on hybrid perovskite films, and provide direct evidence for their superior carrier transport property with ambipolar characteristics. The field-effect mobilities for triiodide perovskites at room temperature are measured as 0.18 (0.17) cm2 V-1 s-1 for holes (electrons), which increase to 1.24 (1.01) cm2 V-1 s-1 for mixed halide perovskites. The photoresponsivity of our hybrid perovskite devices reaches 320 A W-1, which is among the largest values reported for phototransistors. Importantly, the phototransistors exhibit an ultrafast photoresponse speed of less than 10 μs. The solution-based process and excellent device performance strongly underscore hybrid perovskites as promising material candidates for photoelectronic applications.
