Highly stable, substrate-free, and flexible broadband halide perovskite paper photodetectors

In this work, we aim to fabricate a highly stable and flexible perovskite paper photodetector based on a Zn-doped MA 0.6 FA 0.4 PbI 3 perovskite and CNC. The paper photodetector has been successfully synthesized by the vacuum filtration method and deposited with interdigitated electrodes. The paper photodetector exhibits a significant photoresponse with a responsivity of 0.23 A W −1 under 650 nm light irradiation when operated at 5 V. The stability of the paper photodetector has also been tested and it shows high photoresponse after 30 days under ambient conditions. Therefore, this paper photodetector holds promise for developing efficient, stable, and flexible optoelectronic devices in the future. A novel strategy to fabricate highly stable, substrate-free, flexible, and paper-like halide perovskite photodetectors using Zn-doped MA 0.6 FA 0.4 PbI 3 and cellulose nanocrystals.
