Organic-inorganic halide perovskites have demonstrated preeminent optoelectronic performance in recent years due to their unique material properties, and have shown great potential in the field of photodetectors. In this study, a coupled opto-electronic model is constructed to reveal the hidden mechanism of enhancing the performance of perovskite photodetectors that are suitable for both inverted and regular structure doped p-i-n perovskite photodiodes. Upon illumination, the generation rate of photogenerated carriers is calculated followed by carrier density distribution, which serves as a coupled joint to further analyze the recombination rate, electric field strength, and current density of carriers under different doping types and densities. Moreover, experiments were carried out in which the doping types and densities of the active layer were regulated by changing the precursor ratios. With optimal doping conditions, the inverted and regular perovskite photodiodes achieved an external quantum efficiency of 74.83% and 73.36%, and a responsivity of 0.417 and 0.404 A/W, respectively. The constructed coupled opto-electronic model reveals the hidden mechanism and along with the doping strategy, this study provides important guidance for further analysis and improvement of perovskite-based photodiodes.
