2D hybrid perovskite ferroelectrics have drawn great attention in the field of photodetection, because the spontaneous polarization-induced built-in electric field can separate electron-hole pairs, and makes self-powered photodetection possible. However, most of the 2D hybrid perovskite-based photodetectors focused on the detection of visible light, and only a few reports realized the self-powered and sensitive ultraviolet (UV) detection using wide bandgap hybrid perovskites. Here, 2D ferroelectric PMA2PbCl4 monocrystalline microbelt (MMB)-based PDs are demonstrated. By using the ferro-pyro-phototronic effect, the self-powered Ag/Bi/2D PMA2PbCl4 MMB/Bi/Ag PDs show a high photoresponsivity up to 9 A/W under 320 nm laser illumination, which is much higher than those of previously reported self-powered UV PDs. Compared with responsivity induced by the photovoltaic effect, the responsivity induced by the ferro-pyro-phototronic effect is 128 times larger. The self-powered PD also shows fast response and recovery speed, with the rise time and fall time of 162 and 226 μs, respectively. More importantly, the 2D PMA2PbCl4 MMB-based PDs with Bi/Ag electrode exhibit significant stability when subjected to high humidity, continuous laser illumination, and thermal conditions. Our findings would shed light on the ferro-pyro-phototronic-effect-based devices, and provide a good method for high-performance UV detection.
