We studied the effect of channel length on the output performance and stability of planar-type photodetectors based on high-quality methylammonium lead bromide (MAPbBr3) single crystals. Such crystals, as large as 4.5×4.5×1.2 mm3 were synthesized via inverse temperature crystallization method and were further used for fabrication of planar Au/MAPbBr3/Au photodetectors with variable channel length (in the range between 125 μm and 25 μm). Our findings point out that, the channel length has a profound impact on photocurrent densities and key detector parameters (responsivity R, external quantum efficiency EQE and specific detectivity D*). In the studied five-fold electrode spacing, the photocurrent density increased over four-times, with decreasing active area of the devices. This effect is attributed to intrinsic photocurrent amplification. The responsivity and external quantum efficiency also increase with decreasing active area of the device. Nevertheless, D* increases with increasing channel length. Increasing channel length significantly reduces intensity of the dark current, i.e. noise, which results in higher detectivity of the device.
Based on the calculated output parameters we determined the champion sample, Au/MaPbBr3/Au photodetector with channel length of 50 µm. This sample exhibited maximum output performance (R of 19.55 A W–1, EQE of 4 253 % and D* of 3.42×1012 cm Hz1/2 W–1) at 200 nW cm–2 which is, to our best knowledge, the weakest light intensity detected using bulk MAPbBr3 single crystals. Moreover, the functional stability of this device showed minimal reduction of photodetection ability after 2 000 cycles, which makes it very promising for the next generation of optoelectronic devices. Our results indicate that the MAPbBr3 single crystals have tremendous potential in the field of filter-free detection of VIS light around 570 nm. In addition, we proved that the sample with channel length of 50 μm shows the best output performances of all as-prepared photodetectors.

nanoGe is a prestigious brand of successful science conferences that are developed along the year in different areas of the world since 2009. Our worldwide conferences cover cutting-edge materials topics like perovskite solar cells, photovoltaics, optoelectronics, solar fuel conversion, surface science, catalysis and two-dimensional materials, among many others.
Previously nanoGe Spring Meeting (NSM) and nanoGe Fall Meeting (NFM), MATSUS is a multiple symposia conference focused on a broad set of topics of advanced materials preparation, their fundamental properties, and their applications, in fields such as renewable energy, photovoltaics, lighting, semiconductor quantum dots, 2-D materials synthesis, charge carriers dynamics, microscopy and spectroscopy semiconductors fundamentals, etc.
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics (HOPV) is celebrated yearly in May. The main topics are the development, function and modeling of materials and devices for hybrid and organic solar cells. The field is now dominated by perovskite solar cells but also other hybrid technologies, as organic solar cells, quantum dot solar cells, and dye-sensitized solar cells and their integration into devices for photoelectrochemical solar fuel production.
Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics
The main topics of the Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics (IPEROP) are discussed every year in Asia-Pacific for gathering the recent advances in the fields of material preparation, modeling and fabrication of perovskite and hybrid and organic materials. Photovoltaic devices are analyzed from fundamental physics and materials properties to a broad set of applications. The conference also covers the developments of perovskite optoelectronics, including light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
The International Conference on Perovskite Thin Film Photovoltaics Perovskite Photonics and Optoelectronics (NIPHO) is the best place to hear the latest developments in perovskite solar cells as well as on recent advances in the fields of perovskite light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
