Popis: Perovskite single crystals have garnered significant interest in photodetector applications due to their exceptional optoelectronic properties. The outstanding crystalline quality of these materials further enhances their potential for efficient charge transport, making them promising candidates for next-generation photodetector devices. This article reports the synthesis of methyl ammonium lead bromide (MAPbBr3) perovskite single crystal (SC) via the inverse-temperature crystallization method. To further improve the performance of the photodetector, Zn-porphyrin (Zn-PP) was used as a passivating agent during the growth of SC. The optical characterization confirmed the enhancement of optical properties with Zn-PP passivation. On single-crystal surfaces, integrated photodetectors are fabricated, and their photodetection performances are evaluated. The results show that the single-crystalline photodetector passivated with 0.05% Zn-PP enhanced photodetection properties and rapid response speed. The photoelectric performance of the device, including its responsivity (R), external quantum efficiency (EQE), detective nature (D), and noise-equivalent power (NEP), showed an enhancement of the un-passivated devices. This development introduces a new potential to employ high-quality perovskite single-crystal-based devices for more advanced optoelectronics.
