High-performance hysteresis-free perovskite transistors through anion engineering by Huihui Zhu, Ao Liu, Kyu In Shim, Haksoon Jung, Taoyu Zou, Youjin Reo, Hyunjun Kim, Jeong Woo Han, Yimu Chen, Hye Yong Chu, Jun Hyung Lim, Hyung-Jun Kim, Sai Bai, Yong-Young Noh

“…Abstract Despite the impressive development of metal halide perovskites in diverse optoelectronics, progress on high-performance transistors employing state-of-the-art perovskite channels has been limited due to ion migration and large organic spacer isolation. Herein, we report high-performance hysteresis-free p-channel perovskite thin-film transistors (TFTs) based on methylammonium tin iodide (MASnI3) and rationalise the effects of halide (I/Br/Cl) anion engineering on film quality improvement and tin/iodine vacancy suppression, realising high hole mobilities of 20 cm2 V−1 s−1, current on/off ratios exceeding 107, and threshold voltages of 0 V along with high operational stabilities and reproducibilities. …”
