Abstract

We report on the effects of the polarity of ZnO on the transfer of photogenerated electrons at CsPbBr 3 nanoparticle/ZnO heterojunctions. Closely packed CsPbBr 3 nanoparticles were coated onto the atomically flat Zn-polar (0001) and O-polar (0001¯) surfaces of ZnO via spin-coating. The photoluminescence intensity of the CsPbBr 3 nanoparticles on the Zn-polar surface was only half of that of the O-polar surface. The lifetime of radiative emission from the CsPbBr 3 nanoparticles on the Zn-polar surface also decreased. These results indicate that the polar surface of ZnO clearly affects the recombination of photogenerated electrons from CsPbBr 3 . This suggests that controlling the polarity of ZnO could be a significant approach for achieving high-efficiency perovskite-based optoelectronic devices, such as light-emitting diodes and photovoltaic devices.
