Abstract

We design and fabricate hybrid organic inorganic perovskite photodetectors that utilize hole transport layer poly(3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene):poly (styrenesulfonate) PEDOT:PSS confined in alumina nanocylinders. This structural asymmetry in the device where the alumina nanopore template is partially filled with PEDOT:PSS provides features that improve certain device characteristics. The leakage component of the current in such devices is considerably suppressed, resulting in enhanced responsivity and detectivity. The funneling aspect of the photogenerated charge carrier transit ultimately leads to fast detectors as compared to conventional perovskite detectors.
