| contents | Ferroelectric all-inorganic halide perovskites nanocrystals with both spontaneous polarizations and visible light absorption are promising candidates for designing functional ferroelectric photovoltaic devices. Three dimensional halide perovskite nanocrystals have the potential of being ferroelectric, yet it remains a challenge to realize ferroelectric photovoltaic devices which can be operated in absence of an external electric field. Here we report that a popular all-inorganic halide perovskite nanocrystal, CsPbBr3, exhibits ferroelectricity driven photovoltaic effect under visible light in absence of an external electric field. The ferroelectricity in CsPbBr3 nanocrystals originates from the stereochemical activity in Pb (II) lone pair that promotes the distortion of PbBr6 octahedra. Furthermore, application of an external electric field allows the photovoltaic effect to be enhanced and the spontaneous polarization to be switched with the direction of the electric field. Robust fatigue performance, flexibility and prolonged photoresponse under continuous illumination are potentially realized in the zero-bias conditions. These finding establishes all-inorganic halide perovskites nanocrystals as potential candidates for designing novel photoferroelectric devices by coupling optical functionalities and ferroelectric responses. |
