Abstract

A lead-free, pure phase double perovskite Cs2AgBiBr6 thin film (TF) is fabricated on an ITO glass plate through a three-step sequential vacuum thermal evaporation method followed by annealing. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis of the synthesized material revealed a cubic phase with a lattice constant of α = 11.26 Å. The TF exhibits UV and visible absorption with a bandgap estimated at 2.31 eV (303 K) and a red shift of 0.04 eV (363 K). The optical absorption spectrum is simulated using the modified band anti-crossing (BAC) model, determining the Cs2AgBiBr6 TF's theoretical relative refractive index (r.i.) as 2.10 (303 K) and 1.90 (363 K). Furthermore, a photodetector based on Ag/Cs2AgBiBr6/ITO/glass architecture was fabricated, showcasing excellent stability and self-powered photodetection properties under continuous illumination across a wide temperature range of 303–373 K. The device demonstrates a fast temporal response (13/9 ms), a responsivity of ∼1.0 × 10−4 A/W, and a detectivity of ∼2.5 × 107 Jones. Light sensitivity measurements reveal that the device is twice as sensitive at 373 K compared to room temperature, with negligible (1%) degradation in light sensitivity after 60 days of storage under normal ambient conditions.
