Nanometer-Thick Cs2SnI6 Perovskite–Polyethylene Glycol Dimethacrylate Composite Films for Highly Stable Broad-Band Photodetectors

Halide perovskites have drawn considerable attention as a remarkable material in advanced optoelectronics. However, toxicity and poor stability of halide perovskites are major challenges hindering commercialization in wide applications. Also, conventional perovskites made the fabrication of broad-band photodetectors difficult due to the limitations of low band gap tuning. Here, we propose a robust strategy to ensure nontoxicity and long-term stability of Cs 2 SnI 6 perovskite with broad-band photoelectric properties by applying ultraviolet (UV)-cured polyethylene glycol dimethacrylate (PEGDMA). The oxygen lone pair electrons of PEGDMA capture the Cs + cations of the CsI, which affects the Cs 2 SnI 6 phase formed by optimizing the stoichiometric ratio of Cs + and Sn 4+ . Moreover, the formation of a polymer network through UV-cured PEGDMA contributes to maintaining the highly stable Cs 2 …
