Abstract
Abstract 3D incident light confinement by radical electromagnetic fields offers a facile and novel way to break through the performance limit of inorganic perovskite CsPbBr 3 quantum dots (QDs). Herein, metallic nanoparticles decorated anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) hybrid plasmonic nanostructures with geometric control are first proposed for cyclic light utilization of perovskite photodetectors, enabled by spatially extended light confinement. The drastic multiple interference induced by plasmonic coupling within AAO matrixes are generated as a function of pore sizes, which can effectively collect the transmitted photons back to the surface. In addition, the self‐assembled metallic nanoparticles simultaneously concentrate the incident and reflected light beams into the CsPbBr 3 QD layers. The light confinement inherently stems from the metallic nanoparticles due to the variation of the near surface electromagnetic fields. As a result, perovskite photodetectors based on Al nanoparticles/AAO hybrid plasmonic nanostructures with a pore size of 220 nm exhibit enhanced photoresponse behavior with remarkably increased photocurrent by ≈43× and maintain low dark current under 490 nm light illumination at 1 V.
