All-Inorganic Halide Perovskite Alloy Nanowire Network Photodetectors with High Performance

Organic–inorganic hybrid lead halide perovskites have attracted much attention in the photoelectric field due to their excellent characteristics, such as a tunable band gap, simple fabrication process, and high photoelectric conversion efficiency. However, the commercialization of the perovskite-based devices still faces many challenges, one of which is the inclusion of the toxic lead. Herein, we demonstrated a two-step solution method for synthesizing tin-based perovskite nanowires (NWs) with their application in photodetectors (PDs). By changing the halide exchange time and the Sn content in the precursor, the dark current of the CsPbxSn1–x(BryI1–y)3 perovskite NW PDs increased with increasing content of tin and decreased with increasing Br concentration, and the lowest dark current with a value of 0.672 nA at 1 V was achieved for the perovskite alloy NW PDs synthesized with 0.5 mg mL–1 SnI2. Our optimized perovskite alloy NW PDs showed high performance with a linear dynamic range of up to 120 dB, a ris...
