Abstract:
Polarization-sensitive ultraviolet (UV) photodetection is highly indispensable in military and civilian applications and has been demonstrated with various wide-band photodetectors. However, it still remains elusive to achieve the self-powered devices, which can be operated in the absence of external bias. Herein, for the first time, ferroelectricity-driven self-powered photodetection towards polarized UV light was successfully demonstrated in a 2D wide-band gap hybrid ferroelectric (BPA)2 PbBr4 (BPA=3-bromopropylammonium) (1). We found that the prominent spontaneous polarization in 1 results in a bulk photovoltaic effect (BPVE) of 0.85 V, that independently drives photoexcited carriers separation and transport and thus supports self-powered ability. This self-powered detector shows strong polarization sensitivity to linearly polarized UV illumination with a polarization ratio up to 6.8, which is superior to that of previously reported UV-polarized photodetectors (ZnO, GaN, and GeS2 ).
