Abstract: Abstract Lead halide perovskites have exhibited excellent performance in solar cells, LEDs and detectors. Thermal properties of perovskites, such as heat capacity and thermal conductivity, have rarely been studied and corresponding devices have barely been explored. Considering the high absorption coefficient (104~105 cm−1), low specific heat capacity (296–326 J kg−1 K−1) and small thermal diffusion coefficient (0.145 mm2 s−1), herein we showcase the successful use of perovskite in optoacoustic transducers. The theoretically calculated phonon spectrum shows that the overlap of optical phonons and acoustic phonons leads to the up-conversion of acoustic phonons, and thus results in experimentally measured low thermal diffusion coefficient. The assembled device of PDMS/MAPbI3/PDMS simultaneously achieves broad bandwidths (−6 dB bandwidth: 40.8 MHz; central frequency: 29.2 MHz), and high conversion efficiency (2.97 × 10−2), while all these parameters are the record values for optoacoustic transducers. We also fabricate miniatured devices by assembling perovskite film onto fibers, and clearly resolve the fine structure of fisheyes, which demonstrates the strong competitiveness of perovskite based optoacoustic transducers for ultrasound imaging.
