With the development of the semiconductor industry, research on photoelectronic devices has been emphasized. In this paper, a molecular semiconductor material with a narrow bandgap of hexane-1,6-diammonium pentaiodobismuth (HDA-BiI5) was utilized to prepare photodetectors without electron transport layers. Using a single light source, the effects of different wavelengths and different powers on the photoresponsivity, switching ratio, specific detectivity, and external quantum efficiency of the device were investigated. It is demonstrated that this device has excellent responsivity, specific detectivity, stability, and repeatability, and this work will help expand the application of molecular semiconductor materials for photodetection.

Hexane-1,6-diammonium pentaiodobismuth (HDA-BiI5) is one of the narrowest bandgap molecular semiconductor reported in recent years. Through the study of its energy band structure, it can be identified as an N-type semiconductor and is able to absorb most of the visible light, making it suitable to fabricate solar cells. In this paper, SnO2 was used as an electron transport layer in HDA-BiI5-based solar cells, for its higher carrier mobility compared with TiO2, which is the electron transport layer used in previous researches. In addition, the dilution ratio of SnO2 solution has an effect on both the morphology and photophysical properties of HDA-BiI5 films. At the dilution ratio of SnO2:H2O = 3:8, the HDA-BiI5 film has a better morphology and is less defect inside, and the corresponding device exhibited the best photovoltaic performance.

In recent years, lead halide perovskites have attracted considerable attention from the scientific community due to their exceptional properties and fast-growing enhancement for solar energy harvesting efficiency. One of the fundamental aspects of the architecture of perovskite-based solar cells (PSCs) is the electron transport layer (ETL), which also acts as a barrier for holes. In this work, the influence of compact TiO2 ETL on the performance of planar heterojunction solar cells based on CH3NH3PbI3 perovskite was investigated. ETLs were deposited on fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) substrates from a titanium diisopropoxide bis(acetylacetonate) precursor solution using the spin-coating method with changing precursor concentration and centrifugation speed. It was found that the thickness and continuity of ETLs, investigated between 0 and 124 nm, strongly affect the photovoltaic performance of PSCs, in particular short-circuit current density (JSC). Optical and topographic properties of the compact TiO2 layers were investigated as well.
