Popis: The use of aligned one-dimensional nanostructures as scaffolds in organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite photodetectors (PDs) has attracted significant attention due to their large surface area-to-volume ratio and efficient electron transport capability in the radial direction. Here, we report CH3NH3PbI3 (MAPbI3) perovskite photodetectors (PDs) with Ga-doped ZnO nanorods (GZO NRs), prepared by the water bath method, as a scaffold-structure electron transport layer (ETL). Our MoO3 hole transport layer (HTL) based perovskite PDs using GZO NRs as a scaffold showed a larger light/dark current (Iph/Idark) ratio, higher responsivity and detectivity than those of the undoped ZnO NRs/MAPbI3 devices at zero bias. These enhancements are attributed to the incorporation of Ga atoms into the ZnO NRs, which reduce the density defect states of ZnO NRs and improves the performance of MAPbI3 perovskite PDs. In addition, by taking advantage of the GZO NRs scaffold structure, a HTL-free perovskite PD was prepared by using graphite electrodes. The graphite-connected device shows self-powered PD performances with an Iph/Idark ratio of ~2.5 × 103, responsivity of above 0.3 A/W and detectivity of 1.3 × 1012 Jones, all of which are comparable with those of MoO3 HTL based perovskite PDs.
