Low-Temperature Vapor-Phase Anion-Exchange Strategy for Wide-Bandgap Double-Perovskite CsAgBiCl Films toward Weak Ultraviolet Light Imaging.

Low-temperature synthesis of high-quality, high-stability, wide-bandgap perovskite films by solution methods is still challenging. Herein, large-scale wide-bandgap CsAgBiCl (CABC) double perovskite films are synthesized by a vapor-phase anion-exchange strategy. By dedicatedly designing an ultrathin TiO modification layer between the substrate and double perovskites, high-quality heterojunctions with matched energy band alignment are formed, contributing to a remarkably enhanced ON/OFF ratio of 2.4 × 10 (86 times) and a responsivity of 16 mA W (12 times). Additionally, the ultraviolet photodetectors (UV PDs) exhibit an excellent UV detection limit of 1.18 μW cm (20 nW), a broad linear dynamic range of 146 dB, and a high specific detectivity of 2.06 × 10 Jones, as well as long-term stability. Finally, we further demonstrate a weak UV imaging system using CABC UV PDs as imaging sensors. The system is capable of imaging weak UV signals as low as 2.94 μW cm (50 nW). Our results provide a feasible approach for low-temperature fabrication of wide-bandgap perovskite UV PDs and explore the promising application for weak UV detection and imaging.
