13.56MHz Rectifying Diodes Based on Metal Halide Perovskite

The increasing use of portable and wireless technologies has led to a growing focus on radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags. Among the various devices in RFID tags, rectifying diodes are the most demanding in terms of high-frequency performance, and these diodes are dominated by organic materials. However, their intrinsic low carrier mobility largely limits the rectifying ability of organic diodes. As an alternative, metal halide perovskites (MHPs) possess high carrier mobility, making them potential candidates for higher-frequency applications. Whereas their ion-migration issue may deteriorate their high-frequency performance. In this study, we report rectifying diodes based on MHPs that can rectify an incoming sinusoidal signal at 13.56 MHz. The diodes exhibit a high rectification ratio of 1.9 x 103 at 1 V and can rectify signals at even higher frequencies. We designed a triangular wave detection method to measure the intensity of ion-migration at different frequencies. Interestingly, the ion-migration did not occur at such a high frequency. The high-frequency stagnant ions and excellent carrier mobility make MHPs unexpectedly suitable for high-frequency applications, providing a promising solution to ion-migration issues and paving the way for perovskites in high-frequency areas.
