Abstract
Circular polarized light-dependent anomalous bulk photovoltaic effect - a steady anomalous photovoltaic current can be manipulated by changing the light helicity, is an increasingly interesting topic in contexts ranging from physics to chemistry. Herein, circular polarized light-dependent anomalous bulk photovoltaic effect is presented in achiral hybrid perovskites, (4-AMP)BiI(5) (ABI, 4-AMP is 4-(aminomethyl)piperidinium), breaking conventional realization that it can only happen in chiral species. Achiral hybrid perovskite ABI crystallizes in chiroptical-active asymmetric point group m (C(s)), showing an anomalous bulk photovoltaic effect with giant photovoltage of 25 V, as well as strong circular polarized light - sensitive properties. Significantly, conspicuous circular polarized light-dependent anomalous bulk photovoltaic effect is reflected in the large degree of dependence of anomalous bulk photovoltaic effect on left-and right-CPL helicity, which is associated with left and right-handed screw optical axes of ABI. Such degree of dependence is demonstrated by a large asymmetry factor of 0.24, which almost falls around the highest value of hybrid perovskites. These unprecedented results may provide a perspective to develop opto-spintronic functionalities in hybrid perovskites.
