Epitaxial CsPbBr3/CdS Janus Nanocrystal Heterostructures for Efficient Charge Separation
Epitaxial heterostructures of colloidal lead halide perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) with other semiconductors, especially the technologically important metal chalcogenides, can offer an unprecedented level of control in wavefunction design and exciton/charge carrier engineering. These NC heterostructures are ideal material platforms for efficient optoelectronics and other applications. Existing methods, however, can only yield heterostructures with random connections and distributions of the two components. The lack of epitaxial relation and uniform geometry hinders the structure–function correlation and impedes the electronic coupling at the heterointerface. This work reports the synthesis of uniform, epitaxially grown CsPbBr3/CdS Janus NC heterostructures with ultrafast charge separation across the electronically coupled interface. Each Janus NC contains a CdS domain that grows exclusively on a single {220} facet of CsPbBr3 NCs. Varying reaction parameters allows for precise control in the sizes of each domain and readily modulates the optical properties of Janus NCs. Transient absorption measurements and modeling results reveal a type II band alignment, where photoexcited electrons rapidly transfer (within ≈9 picoseconds) from CsPbBr3 to CdS. The promoted charge separation and extraction in epitaxial Janus NCs leads to photoconductors with drastically improved (approximately three orders of magnitude) responsivity and detectivity, which is promising for ultrasensitive photodetection.
