Mn²⁺-Doped CsPbBr₂I Quantum Dots Photosensitive Films for High-Performance Photodetectors by Mengwei Chen, Wei Huang, Chenguang Shen, Yingping Yang, Jie Shen

“…At the same time, Mn²⁺-doping effectively passivated surface defects, reducing the defect density by 33%, and suppressed non-radiative recombination, thereby improving photoluminescence (PL) intensity and carrier mobility. The optimized Mn:CsPbBr₂I QDs-based photodetector exhibited superior performance, with a dark current of 1.19 × 10⁻¹⁰ A, a photocurrent of 1.29 × 10⁻⁵ A, a responsivity (<i>R</i>) of 0.83 A/W, a specific detectivity (<i>D</i>*) of 3.91 × 10¹² Jones, an on/off ratio up to 10⁵, and the response time reduced to less than 10 ms, all outperforming undoped CsPbBr₂I QDs devices. …”
