Abstract
The preparation of high-quality perovskite films with optimal morphologies is important for achieving high-performance perovskite photodetectors (PPDs). An effective strategy to optimize the morphologies is to add antisolvents during the spin-coating steps. In this work, a novel environment-friendly antisolvent tert-amyl alcohol (TAA) is employed first to improve the quality of perovskite films, which can effectively regulate the formation of an intermediate phase staged in between a liquid precursor phase and a solid perovskite phase due to its moderate polarity and further promote the homogeneous nucleation and crystal growth, thus leading to the formation of high-quality perovskite films and enhanced photodetector performance. As a result, the responsivity of the PPD reaches 1.56 A/W under the illumination of 532 nm laser with the power density of <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline" id="m1"> <mml:mrow> <mml:mn>6.37</mml:mn> <mml:mtext> </mml:mtext> <mml:mi>μW</mml:mi> <mml:mtext>/</mml:mtext> <mml:msup> <mml:mrow> <mml:mi mathvariant="normal">cm</mml:mi> </mml:mrow> <mml:mrow> <mml:mn>2</mml:mn> </mml:mrow> </mml:msup> </mml:mrow> </mml:math> at a bias voltage of <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline" id="m2"> <mml:mrow> <mml:mo form="prefix">−</mml:mo> <mml:mn>2</mml:mn> <mml:mtext> </mml:mtext> <mml:mi mathvariant="normal">V</mml:mi> </mml:mrow> </mml:math> , which is good responsivity for PPDs with the vertical structure and only <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline" id="m3"> <mml:mrow> <mml:msub> <mml:mrow> <mml:mi>CH</mml:mi> </mml:mrow> <mml:mrow> <mml:mn>3</mml:mn> </mml:mrow> </mml:msub> <mml:msub> <mml:mrow> <mml:mi>NH</mml:mi> </mml:mrow> <mml:mrow> <mml:mn>3</mml:mn> </mml:mrow> </mml:msub> <mml:msub> <mml:mrow> <mml:mi>PbI</mml:mi> </mml:mrow> <mml:mrow> <mml:mn>3</mml:mn> </mml:mrow> </mml:msub> </mml:mrow> </mml:math> perovskite as the photosensitive material.

These results demonstrate that our developed green antisolvent TAA has remarkable advantages for the fabrication of high-performance PPDs and can provide a reference for similar research work.
