Abstract
Broadband spectrum detectors exhibit great promise in fields such as multispectral imaging and optical communications. Despite significant progress, challenges like materials instability in such devices, complex manufacturing process, and high cost still hinder their further application. Here, we present a method that achieves broadband spectral detection by impurity-level in SrSnO3. We report over 500 mA/W photoresponsivity at 275 nm (ultraviolet C solar-bind) and 367 nm (ultraviolet A) and ∼60 mA/W photoresponsivity at 532 and 700 nm (visible) with a voltage bias of -5 V. Further transport and photoluminescence results reveal a new phase transition at 88 K, which would significantly affect the impurity level of the La-doped SrSnO3 film, indicating that the broadband response attributes to the impurity levels and mutual interactions. Additionally, the photodetector demonstrates excellent robustness and stability under repeated tests and prolonged exposure in air. These findings show the potential of SrSnO3 as a material for photodetectors and propose a method to achieve broadband spectrum detection, creating new possibility for the development of single-phase, low-cost, simple structure, and high-efficiency photodetectors.

Abstract
Oxyfluoride transparent glass-ceramics (GC) are widely used as the matrix for rare-earth (RE) ions due to their unique properties such as low phonon energy, high transmittance, and high solubility for RE ions. Tb3+ doped oxyfluoride glasses exhibit a large absorption cross section for ultraviolet (UV) excitation, high stability, high photoluminescence quantum efficiency, and sensitive spectral conversion characteristics, making them promising candidate materials for use as the spectral converter in UV photodetectors. Herein, a Tb3+ doped oxyfluoride GC is developed by using the melt-quenching method, and the microstructure and optical properties of the GC sample are carefully investigated. By combining with a Si-based photo-resistor,a solar-blind UV detector is fabricated, which exhibits a significant photoelectric response with a broad detection range from 188 to 400 nm. The results indicate that the designed UV photodetector is of great significance for the development of solar-blind UV detectors.

Abstract
In this study, quasi-two-dimensional BixSn1-xO2 (BTO) thin films were fabricated using a liquid metal transfer method. The ultraviolet (UV) photodetector based on BTO thin films was constructed, and the ultrahigh responsivity of 589 A/W was observed at 300 nm UV light illumination. Interestingly, by dropping ethanol during light-off period, the recovery time induced by the persistent photoconductivity (PPC) effect is reduced from 1.65 × 103 s to 5.71 s. Furthermore, the recovery time can also be reduced by dropping methanol, propylene glycol, NaNO2, and Na2SO3 after light termination. The working mechanisms are attributed to the rapid consumption of holes stored in BTO thin films by reaction with those solutions. This work demonstrates that the BTO thin films have potential applications in high-performance UV detectors and present an innovation route to weaken the PPC effects in semiconductors by introducing chemical liquids on their surface.

Abstract
Photodetectors (PDs) based on two-dimensional (2D) materials have promising applications in modern electronics and optoelectronics. However, due to the intralayer recombination of the photogenerated carriers and the inevitable surface trapping stages of the constituent layers, the PDs based on 2D materials usually suffer from low responsivity and poor response speed. In this work, a distinguished GaN-based photodetector is constructed on a sapphire substrate with Te/metal electrodes. Due to the metal-like properties of tellurium, the band bending at the interface between Te and GaN generates an inherent electric field, which greatly reduces the carrier transport barrier and promotes the photoresponse of GaN. This Te-enhanced GaN-based PD show a promising responsivity of 4951 mA/W, detectivity of 1.79 × 1014 Jones, and an external quantum efficiency of 169%. In addition, owing to the collection efficiency of carriers by this Te-GaN interface, the response time is greatly decreased compared with pure GaN PDs. This high performance can be attributed to the fact that Te reduces the contact resistance of the metal electrode Au/Ti to GaN, forming an ohmic-like contact and promoting the photoresponse of GaN. This work greatly extends the application potential of GaN in the field of high-performance photodetectors and puts forward a new way of developing high performance photodetectors.

Abstract
Optoelectronic logic gate devices (OLGDs) have attracted significant attention in high-density information processors; however, multifunctional logic operation in a single device is technically challenging due to the unidirectional electrical transport. In this work, we deliberately design all-in-one OLGDs based on self-powered CdTe/SnSe heterojunction photodetectors. The SnSe nanorod (NR) array is grown on the sputtered CdTe film via a glancing-angle deposition technique to form a heterojunction device. At the interface, the photovoltaic (PV) effect in the CdTe/SnSe heterojunction and the photothermoelectric (PTE) effect from the SnSe NRs are combined together to induce the reversed photocurrent, leading to a unique bipolar spectral response. The competition between PV and PTE in different spectral ranges is thus employed to control the photocurrent polarity, and five basic logic gates of OR, AND, NAND, NOR, and NOT can be performed just with a single heterojunction. Our findings indicate the large potentials of the CdTe/SnSe heterojunctions as logic units in next-generation sensing-computing systems.

Abstract
Self-powered photodetectors are of significance for the development of low-energy-consumption and environment-friendly Internet of Things. The performance of semiconductor-based self-powered photodetectors is limited by the low quality of junctions. Here, a novel strategy was proposed for developing high-performance self-powered photodetectors with boosted electrostatic potential. The proposed self-powered ultraviolet (UV) photodetector consisted of an indium tin oxide and titanium dioxide (ITO/TiO2) heterojunction and an electret film (poly tetra fluoroethylene, PTFE). The PTFE layer introduces a built-in electrostatic field to highly enhance the photovoltaic effect, and its high internal resistance greatly reduces the dark current, and thus remarkable performances were achieved. The self-powered UV photodetector with PTFE demonstrated an extremely high on-off ratio of 2.49 × 105, a responsivity of 76.87 mA/W, a response rise time of 7.44 ms, and a decay time of 3.75 ms. Furthermore, the device exhibited exceptional stability from room temperature to 70 °C. Compared with the conventional ITO/TiO2 heterojunction without the PTFE layer, the photoresponse of the detector improved by 442-fold, and the light-dark ratio was increased by 8.40 × 105 times. In addition, the detector is simple, easy to fabricate, and low cost. Therefore, it can be used on a large scale. The electrostatic modulation effect is universal for various types of semiconductor junctions and is expected to inspire more innovative applications in optoelectronic and microelectronic devices.

Abstract
The demand for portable and wearable chemical or biosensors and their expeditious development in recent years has created a scientific challenge in terms of their continuous powering. As a result, mechanical energy harvesters such as piezoelectric and triboelectric generators (TEGs) have been explored recently either as sensors or harvesters to store charge in small, but long-life, energy-storage devices to power the sensors. The use of energy harvesters as sensors is particularly interesting, as with such multifunctional operations it is possible to reduce the number devices needed in a system, which also helps overcome the integration complexities. In this regard, TEGs are promising, particularly for energy autonomous chemical and biological sensors, as they can be developed with a wide variety of materials, and their mechanical energy to electricity conversion can be modulated by various analytes. This review focuses on this interesting dimension of TEGs and presents various self-powered active chemical and biological sensors. A brief discussion about the development of TEG-based physical, magnetic, and optical sensors is also included. The influence of environmental factors, various figures of merit, and the significance of TEG design are explained in context with the active sensing. Finally, the key applications, challenges, and future perspective of chemical and biological detection via TEGs are discussed with a view to drive further advances in the field of self-powered sensors.

Abstract
Integration of nanolayered metal chalcogenides with wide-bandgap semiconductors forming pn heterojunction leads to the way of high-performance photodetection. This work demonstrates the fabrication of a few nanometer thick Molybdenum diselenide (MoSe2)/Mg-doped Gallium Nitride (p-GaN) heterostructure for light detection purposes. The device exhibits low noise broadband spectral response from ultraviolet to near-infrared range (300-950 nm). The band-alignment and the charge transfer at the MoSe2/p-GaN interface promote self-powered photodetection with high photocurrent to dark current ratio of 2000 and 1000 at 365 nm and 640 nm, respectively. A high responsivity of 130 A W-1, detectivity of 4.8 × 1010Jones, and low noise equivalent power of 18 fW/Hz1/2at 365 nm is achieved at an applied bias of 1 V. Moreover, the transient measurements reveal a fast rise/fall time of 407/710μsec for the fabricated device. These outcomes exemplify the viability of MoSe2/p-GaN heterostructure for high-speed and low-noise broadband photodetector applications.

Abstract
Metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) configuration of perovskite photodetectors (PPDs) suggests easy and low-cost manufacturing. However, the basic structures of MSM PPDs include vertical and lateral configurations, which require the use of expensive materials such as transparent conductive oxides or/and sophisticated fabrication techniques such as lithography. Integrating metallic nanowire-based electrodes into the perovskite photo-absorber layer to form one-half of the MSM PPD structure could potentially resolve the key issues of both configurations. Here, a manufacturing of solution-processed and self-powered MSM PPDs with embedded silver nanowire electrodes is demonstrated. The embedding of silver nanowire electrode into the perovskite layer is achieved by treating the silver nanowire/perovskite double layer with a methylamine gas vapor. The evaporated gold layer is used as the second electrode to form MSM PPDs. The prepared MSM PPDs show a photoresponsivity of 4 × 10-5 AW-1 in the UV region and 2 × 10-5 AW-1 in the visible region. On average, the devices exhibit a photocurrent of 1.1 × 10-6 A under white light (75 mW cm-2) illumination with an ON/OFF ratio of 83.4. The results presented in this work open up a new method for development and fabrication of simple, solution-processable MSM self-powered PPDs.

Abstract
In this study, the effects of magnesium (Mg) doping and Ammonia (NH3) plasma on the pH sensing capabilities of InGaZnO membranes were investigated. Undoped InGaZnO and Mg-doped pH sensing membranes with NH3 plasma were examined with multiple material analyses including X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, secondary ion mass spectroscopy and transmission electron microscope, and pH sensing behaviors of the membrane in electrolyte-insulator-semiconductors. Results indicate that Mg doping and NH3 plasma treatment could superpositionally enhance crystallization in fine nanostructures, and strengthen chemical bindings. Results indicate these material improvements increased pH sensing capability significantly. Plasma-treated Mg-doped InGaZnO pH sensing membranes show promise for future pH sensing biosensors.

Abstract
Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) have attracted much interest in recent years, due to its effectiveness and low cost for converting high-entropy mechanical energy into electric power. The traditional TENGs generate an alternating current, which requires a rectifier to provide a direct-current (DC) power supply. Herein, a dynamic p-n junction based direct-current triboelectric nanogenerator (DTENG) is demonstrated. When a p-Si wafer is sliding on a n-GaN wafer, carriers are generated at the interface and a DC current is produced along the direction of the built-in electric field, which is called the tribovoltatic effect. Simultaneously, an UV light is illuminated on the p-n junction to enhance the output. The results indicate that the current increases 13 times and the voltage increases 4 times under UV light (365 nm, 28 mW/cm2) irradiation. This work demonstrates the coupling between the tribovoltaic effect and the photovoltaic effect in DTENG semiconductors, promoting further development for energy harvesting in mechanical energy and photon energy.

Abstract
Optical detection is of great significance in various fields such as industry, military, and medical treatment, especially ultraviolet (UV) photodetectors. Moreover, as the demand for wearable devices continues to increase, the UV photodetector, which is one of the most important sensors, has put forward higher requirements for bending resistance, durability, and transparency. Tin oxide (SnO2) has a wide band gap, high ultraviolet exciton gain, etc., and is considered to be an ideal material for preparing UV photodetectors. At present, SnO2-based UV photodetectors have a transparency of more than 70% in the visible light region and also have excellent flexibility of 160% tensile strain. Focusing on SnO2 nanostructures, the article mainly summarizes the progress of SnO2 UV photodetectors in flexibility and transparency in recent years and proposes feasible optimization directions and difficulties.

Abstract
Perovskite and semiconductor materials are always the focus of research because of their excellent properties, including pyroelectric, photovoltaic effects, and high light absorption. On basis of this, the design of combining BaTiO3 (BTO) thin films with a GaN layer to form a heterojunction structure with a pyro-phototronic effect has achieved an efficient self-powered BTO/GaN ultraviolet photodetector (PD) with high responsivity and a fast response speed. With cooling and prepolarization treatments, the photocurrent peak and plateau have been enhanced by up to 1348 and 1052%, and the response time of the pyroelectric and common photoelectric current are improved from 0.35 to 0.16 s and from 3.27 to 2.35 s with a bias applied, respectively. The self-powered BTO/GaN PD combined with a pyro-phototronic effect provides a new idea and optimization for realizing ultrafast ultraviolet sensing at room temperature, making it a promising candidate in environmentally friendly and economical ultraviolet optoelectronic devices.

Abstract
Clouds in the sky pass almost 80% of ultraviolet (UV) radiation to the earth's surface, which has a significant impact on humankind. Conventional UV photodetectors (PDs) require an external battery, which not only increases the device size but also has a limited life span and maintenance costs can be prohibitively expensive. An alternative and more technically-sound solution would be the use of self-powered UV PDs that can operate independently, eliminating the need for an external source. Although many exciting studies have been done and state-of-the-art research is underway to successfully fabricate self-powered UV PDs, periodic reviews on this topic are deemed essential so that the technology's readiness can be properly evaluated and critical challenges can be addressed in a timely manner. In this article, the key issues and most exciting developments made in recent years on built-in electric field assisted self-powered UV PDs based on p-n homojunctions, p-n heterojunctions, and Schottky junctions followed by energy harvester integrated UV PDs are extensively reviewed. Finally, a summary and comparison of different types of self-powered UV PDs as well as future challenges that need to be addressed are discussed. This review sets a foundation providing essential insights into the present status of self-powered UV PDs with which researchers can engage and deal with the major challenges.

Abstract
In this study, the effect of electrode shape difference on the height of the Schottky barrier and the electric field in flexible photodiodes (PDs) has been investigated. For this purpose, three different electrode designs were prepared on three flexible FR4 layers that were coated with Zinc Oxide (ZnO). The printing circuit board (PCB) method was used to create these copper electrodes. The asymmetry of the PD electrodes and the difference in the height of the Schottky barrier has led to the creation of self-powered PDs. The effect of the amount and shape of the distribution of internal electric fields generated in the PDs and its effect on the parameters of the PDs has been investigated with the help of simulations performed in COMSOL software. The photocurrent of the sample with circular and rectangular electrodes was equal to 470 µA in 15 V bias, which was twice as good as a sample with an interdigitated MSM structure. Also, this sample had the best response time among these three samples, which was equal to 440 ms.

Abstract
Ultraviolet (UV) detectors based on zinc oxide (ZnO) nanorods (NRs) are ideal materials for UV radiation detection. However, owing to the surface effect of ZnO NRs, their speed of photoresponse and photosensitivity need to be improved. In this study, a UV photodetector was fabricated via electrochemical coating of poly(3,4-propylenedioxythiophene) grafted with functional groups (-OH) on a hydrothermally grown ZnO NRs. For comparison, poly(3,4-propylenedioxythiophene)/ZnO composites were synthesized using the same method. The structure of the composite film was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), UV-visible spectroscopy (UV-vis), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy (Raman), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The effect of the polymer structure on the UV sensing ability of ZnO NRs was evaluated by fabricating a UV detector with a composite material. The structural results indicated that the PProDOT-type conductive polymer and ZnO composites were successfully synthesized. The UV photodetection results showed that the presence of functional groups (-OH) in polymer chains could enhance the responsivity of the material. The response time of the ZnO/PProDOT-OH composite was 15 s shorter than that of the ZnO/PProDOT composite. A rise in photocurrent induced an increase from 2.5 A W-1 to 34.75 A W-1 in the UV photoresponsivity of the ZnO/PProDOT-OH composite, compared with that of the pure ZnO NRs. The external quantum efficiency and detectivity significantly improved, the increases of which were attributed to the coupling of the polymer and ZnO NRs.

Abstract
The third-generation semiconductors are the cornerstone of the power semiconductor leap forward and have attracted much attention because of their excellent properties and wide applications. Meanwhile, femtosecond laser processing as a convenient method further improves the performance of the related devices and expands the application prospect. In this work, an approximate 3 times improvement of the internal quantum efficiency (IQE) and a 5.5 times enhancement of the photoluminescence (PL) intensity were achieved in the GaN film prepared using a one-step femtosecond laser fabrication method. Three types of final micro/nanostructures were found with different femtosecond laser fluences, which could be attributed to the decomposition, melting, bubble nucleation, and phase explosion of GaN. The mechanisms of the microbump structure formation and enhancement of IQE were studied experimentally by the time-resolved reflection pump-probe technique, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and Raman spectroscopy. Simulations for the laser-GaN interaction have also been performed to ascertain the micro/nanostructure formation principle. These results promote the potential applications of femtosecond lasers on GaN and other wide band gap semiconductors, such as UV-light-emitting diodes (LEDs), photodetectors, and random lasers for use in sensing and full-field imaging.

[PMID: 33436587 PMCID: PMC7804191 DOI: 10.1038/s41467-020-20530-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 41] [Impact Index Per Article: 13.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/20/2020] [Accepted: 12/02/2020] [Indexed: 11/09/2022] Open
Abstract
In terms of strong light-polarization coupling, ferroelectric materials with bulk photovoltaic effects afford a promising avenue for optoelectronic devices. However, due to severe polarization deterioration caused by leakage current of photoexcited carriers, most of ferroelectrics are merely capable of absorbing 8-20% of visible-light spectra. Ferroelectrics with the narrow bandgap (<2.0 eV) are still scarce, hindering their practical applications. Here, we present a lead-iodide hybrid biaxial ferroelectric, (isopentylammonium)2(ethylammonium)2Pb3I10, which shows large spontaneous polarization (~5.2 μC/cm2) and a narrow direct bandgap (~1.80 eV). Particularly, the symmetry breaking of 4/mmmFmm2 species results in its biaxial attributes, which has four equivalent polar directions. Accordingly, exceptional in-plane photovoltaic effects are exploited along the crystallographic [001] and [010] axes directions inside the crystallographic bc-plane. The coupling between ferroelectricity and photovoltaic effects endows great possibility toward self-driven photodetection. This study sheds light on future optoelectronic device applications.

Abstract
Hybrid organic-inorganic perovskite materials provide noteworthy compact systems that could offer ground-breaking architectures for dynamic operations and advanced engineering in high-performance energy-harvesting optoelectronic devices. Here, we demonstrate a highly effective self-powered perovskite-based photodiode with an electron-blocking hole-transport layer (NiOx). A high value of responsivity (R = 360 mA W-1) with good detectivity (D = 2.1 × 1011 Jones) and external quantum efficiency (EQE = 76.5%) is achieved due to the excellent interface quality and suppression of the dark current at zero bias voltage owing to the NiOx layer, providing outcomes one order of magnitude higher than values currently in the literature. Meanwhile, the value of R is progressively increased to 428 mA W-1 with D = 3.6 × 1011 Jones and EQE = 77% at a bias voltage of - 1.0 V. With a diode model, we also attained a high value of the built-in potential with the NiOx layer, which is a direct signature of the improvement of the charge-selecting characteristics of the NiOx layer. We also observed fast rise and decay times of approximately 0.9 and 1.8 ms, respectively, at zero bias voltage. Hence, these astonishing results based on the perovskite active layer together with the charge-selective NiOx layer provide a platform on which to realise high-performance self-powered photodiode as well as energy-harvesting devices in the field of optoelectronics.

Abstract
Polar hybrid perovskites have been explored for self-powered photodetection benefitting from prominent transport of photo-induced carriers and the bulk photovoltaic effect (BPVE). However, these self-powered photodetection ranges are relatively narrow depending on their intrinsic wide bandgaps (>2.08 eV), and the realization of broad-spectrum self-powered photodetection is still a difficult task. Herein, we successfully obtained a polar multilayered perovskite, (I-BA)2(MA)2Pb3I10 (IMP, MA+ = methylammonium and I-BA+ = 4-iodobutylammonium), via rational dimension reduction of CH3NH3PbI3. It features the narrowest bandgap of 1.71 eV in a BPV material. As a consequence, the integration of narrow bandgap and BPVE causes the self-powered photodetection to extend to 724 nm for IMP, and a repeatable photovoltaic current reaching 1.0 μA cm-2 is acquired with a high "on/off" ratio of ∼103 and photodetectivity (∼109 Jones) at zero bias. This innovative research provides a foothold for adjusting the physical properties of hybrid perovskites and will expand their potential for self-powered broad-spectrum detection.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors, such as transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), have attracted immense interest due to their excellent electronic and optical properties. The combination of single and multilayered 2D TMDs coupled with either Si or II-VI semiconductors can result in robust and reliable photodetectors. In this paper, we report the deposition process of MoSe2-layered films using pulsed laser deposition (PLD) over areas of 20 cm2 with a tunable band gap. Raman and X-ray diffraction indicates crystalline and highly oriented layered MoSe2. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy shows Mo and Se present in the first few layers of the film. Rutherford backscattering demonstrates the effect of O and C on the surface and film/substrate interface of the deposited films. Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, Kelvin probe, photoelectron spectroscopy, and electrical measurements are used to investigate the band diagram and electrical property dependence as a function of MoSe2 layers/thickness. As the MoSe2 thickness increases from 3.5 to 11.4 nm, the band gap decreases from 1.98 to 1.75 eV, the work function increases from 4.52 to 4.72 eV, the ionization energy increases from 5.71 to 5.77 eV, the sheet resistance decreases from 541 to 56.0 kΩ, the contact resistance decreases from 187 to 54.6 Ω·cm2, and the transfer length increases from 2.27 to 61.9 nm. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) cross-sectional images demonstrate the layered structure of the MoSe2 with an average interlayer spacing of 0.68 nm. The fabricated MoSe2-Si photodiodes demonstrate a current on/off ratio of ∼2 × 104 orders of magnification and photocurrent generation with a 22.5 ns rise time and a 190.8 ns decay time, respectively.

Abstract
Extended exposure to sunlight or artificial UV sources (particularly UVA and UVB) is a major cause of serious skin cancers and ocular diseases. A photochromic inorganic–organic complex was ionothermally synthesized via a decomposition-reassembly strategy, generated from a low-cost deep-eutectic solvent and a 4,4′-bipyridine system. Benefiting from the intrinsic synergy of the hydrogen bonding and π–π stacking interactions, the complex exhibited insensitivity towards visible light, outstanding color contrast from colorless to purple, rapid response time up to seconds, excellent reversibility and high thermal stability. UV index and UVB detection procedures indicated that the coloration performances of the complex exhibited a linear response towards UV index and UVB dose. Besides, the complex can be made to a portable test tablet, a freestanding mixed film with a cellulose paper and a mixed-matrix membrane with PVDF, which make it highly promising for portable and efficient visual UV index and detecting UVB dose. A photochromic inorganic–organic complex was ionothermally synthesized via a decomposition-reassembly strategy, which is highly promising for the colorimetric and portable indication of UV index and quantification of UVB doses.![]()

Abstract
The fabrication of a superior-performance ultraviolet (UV) photodetector utilizing graphene quantum dots (GQDs) as a sensitization agent on a ZnO-nanorod/GaN-nanotower heterostructure has been realized. GQD sensitization displays substantial impact on the electrical as well as the optical performance of a heterojunction UV photodetector. The GQD sensitization stimulates charge carriers in both ZnO and GaN and allows energy band alignment, which is realized by a spontaneous time-correlated transient response. The fabricated device demonstrates an excellent responsivity of 3.2 × 103 A/W at -6 V and displays an enhancement of ∼265% compared to its bare counterpart. In addition, the fabricated heterostructure UV photodetector exhibits a very high external quantum efficiency of 1.2 × 106%, better switching speed, and signal detection capability as low as ∼50 fW.

Abstract
Flexible devices are garnering substantial interest owing to their potential for wearable and portable applications. Here, flexible and self-powered photodetector arrays based on all-inorganic perovskite quantum dots (QDs) are reported. CsBr/KBr-mediated CsPbBr3 QDs possess improved surface morphology and crystallinity with reduced defect densities, in comparison with the pristine ones. Systematic material characterizations reveal enhanced carrier transport, photoluminescence efficiency, and carrier lifetime of the CsBr/KBr-mediated CsPbBr3 QDs. Flexible photodetector arrays fabricated with an optimum CsBr/KBr treatment demonstrate a high open-circuit voltage of 1.3 V, responsivity of 10.1 A W-1 , specific detectivity of 9.35 × 1013 Jones, and on/off ratio up to ≈104 . Particularly, such performance is achieved under the self-powered operation mode. Furthermore, outstanding flexibility and electrical stability with negligible degradation after 1600 bending cycles (up to 60°) are demonstrated. More importantly, the flexible detector arrays exhibit uniform photoresponse distribution, which is of much significance for practical imaging systems, and thus promotes the practical deployment of perovskite products.

Abstract
The use of multilayer semiconductor heterojunction structures has shown promise in infrared detector applications. Several heterostructures with innovative compositional and architectural designs have been displayed on emerging infrared technologies. In this review, we aim to illustrate the principles of heterostructure detectors for infrared detection and explore the recent progress on the development of detectors with the split-off band and threshold wavelength extension mechanism. This review article includes an understanding of the compositional and the architectural design of split-off band detectors and to prepare a database of their performances for the wavelength extension mechanism. Preparing a unique database of the compositional or architectural design of structures, their performance, and penetrating the basics of infrared detection mechanisms can lead to significant improvements in the quality of research. The brief outlook of the fundamentals of the infrared detection technique with its appropriateness and limitations for better performance is also provided. The results of the long-term study presented in this review article would be of considerable assistance to those who are focused on the heterostructure infrared detector development.

Abstract
We study the effect of thermal annealing on the electrical properties of the nanoscale p-n heterojunctions based on single n-type ZnO nanorods on p-type GaN substrates. The ZnO nanorods are prepared by chemical bath deposition on both plain GaN substrates and on the substrates locally patterned by focused ion beam lithography. Electrical properties of single nanorod heterojunctions are measured with a nanoprobe in the vacuum chamber of a scanning electron microscope. The focused ion beam lithography provides a uniform nucleation of ZnO, which results in a uniform growth of ZnO nanorods. The specific configuration of the interface between the ZnO nanorods and GaN substrate created by the focused ion beam suppresses the surface leakage current and improves the current-voltage characteristics. Further improvement of the electrical characteristics is achieved by annealing of the structures in nitrogen, which limits the defect-mediated leakage current and increases the carrier injection efficiency.

Abstract
Self-powered photodetection driven by ferroelectric polarization has shown great potential in next-generation optoelectronic devices. Hybrid perovskite ferroelectrics that combine polarization and semiconducting properties have a promising position within this portfolio. Herein, we demonstrate the realization of self-powered photodetection in a new developed biaxial ferroelectric, (EA)2 (MA)2 Pb3 Br10 (1, EA is ethylammonium and MA is methylammonium), which displays high Curie temperature (375 K), superior spontaneous polarization (3.7 μC cm-2 ), and unique semiconducting nature. Strikingly, without an external energy supply, 1 exhibits an direction-selectable photocurrent with fascinating attributes including high photocurrent density (≈4.1 μA cm-2 ), high on/off switching ratio (over 106 ), and ultrafast response time (96/123 μs); such merits are superior to those of the most active ferroelectric oxide BiFeO3 . Further studies reveal that strong inversion symmetry breaking in 1 provides a desirable driving force for carrier separation, accounting for such electrically tunable self-powered photoactive behaviors. This work sheds light on exploring new multifunctional hybrid perovskites and advancing the design of intelligent photoelectric devices.

Abstract
Gallium nitride (GaN) is a superior candidate material for fabricating ultraviolet (UV) photodetectors (PDs) by taking advantage of its attractive wide bandgap (3.4 eV) and stable chemical and physical properties. However, the performance of available GaN-based UV PDs (e.g., in terms of detectivity and sensitivity) still require improvement. Fabricating nanoporous GaN (porous-GaN) structures and constructing organic/inorganic hybrids are two effective ways to improve the performance of PDs. In this study, a novel self-powered UV PD was developed by using p-type cobalt phthalocyanine (CoPc) and n-type porous-GaN (CoPc/porous-GaN) to construct a p–n vertical heterojunction via a thermal vapor deposition method. Under 365 nm 0.009 mWcm−2 light illumination, our device showed a photoresponsivity of 588 mA/W, a detectivity of 4.8 × 1012 Jones, and a linear dynamic range of 79.5 dB, which are better than CoPc- and flat-GaN (CoPc/flat-GaN)-based PDs. The high performance was mainly attributed to the built-in electric field (BEF) generated at the interface of the CoPc film and the nanoporous-GaN, as well as the nanoporous structure of GaN, which allows for a higher absorptivity of light. Furthermore, the device showed excellent stability, as its photoelectrical property and on/off switching behavior remained the same, even after 3 months.

Abstract
MoO x quantum dots were inserted between the Si nanowires (SiNWs) and Cu contacts to form the MoO x /SiNW heterojunctions via the low-temperature solution process. The common Schottky heterojunction of Cu/SiNWs is used as the referred device, and the photoelectric characteristics of Cu/MoO x /Si structures are detailedly investigated. The results indicate that the inset of MoO x between Cu and SiNWs obviously enhances photoelectric conversion efficiency from 1.58 to 3.92%, and photodetection characteristics have also improved compared to the referred device. We attribute these experimental findings to the fact that the incorporation of MoO x quantum dots into the Cu/Si heterojunction could enhance the transport of holes and inhibit the injection of electrons from Si into the top Cu electrode. In addition, it is believed that such an improved performance also comes from the improved optical absorption as well as the optimized carrier transfer and collection capability of MoO x /SiNW radial heterojunctions.

Abstract
The authors report on a vertical-type visible-blind ultraviolet (UV) Schottky-type photodetector fabricated on a homoepitaxial GaN layer grown on free-standing GaN substrates with a semi-transparent Ni Schottky contact. Owing to the high-quality GaN drift layer with low-density threading dislocation and high electron mobility, the UV photodetector shows a high specific detectivity of more than 1012 Jones and a UV/visible discrimination ratio of ~1530 at −5 V. The photodetector also shows the excellent self-powered photo-response and a high signal-to-noise ratio of more than 104 at zero voltage. It is found that a relatively lower growth rate for the GaN epilayer is preferred to improve the performance of the Schottky-type photodetectors due to the better microstructure and surface properties.

Abstract
Flexible optoelectronics is an emerging research field that has attracted a great deal of interest in recent years due to the special functions and potential applications of these devices in flexible image sensors, optical computing, energy conversion devices, the Internet of Things, and other technologies. Here, we examine the high-performance ultraviolet (UV) photodetectors using AZO/ZnO nanorods/PVK/PEDOT:PSS heterostructures integrated on human hair. Due to the precise interfacial energy-level alignment among all layers and superior mechanical characteristics of human hair, the as-obtained photodetector shows a fast response time, high photoresponsivity, and excellent flexibility. According to integrate 7 heterostructures as 7 display pixels, the flexible UV-image sensor has superior device performance and outstanding flexibility and can produce vivid and accurate images of Arabic numerals from 0 to 9. Different combinations of the two heterostructures can also be used to achieve flexible photon-triggered logic functions, including AND, OR, and NAND gates. Our findings indicate the possibility of using human hair as a fiber-shaped flexible substrate and will allow the use of hair-based hierarchical heterostructures as building blocks to create exciting opportunities for next-generation high-performance, multifunctional, low-cost, and flexible optoelectronic devices.

Abstract
Semiconductor heterostructures have enabled numerous applications in diodes, photodetectors, junction field-effect transistors, and memory devices. Two-dimensional (2D) materials and III-V compound semiconductors are two representative materials providing excellent heterojunction platforms for the fabrication of heterostructure devices. The marriage between these semiconductors with completely different crystal structures may enable a new heterojunction with unprecedented physical properties. In this study, we demonstrate a multifunctional heterostructure device based on 2D black phosphorus and n-InGaAs nanomembrane semiconductors that exhibit gate-tunable, photoresponsive, and programmable diode characteristics. The device exhibits clear rectification with a large gate-tunable forward current, which displays rectification and switching with a maximum rectification ratio of 4600 and an on/off ratio exceeding 105, respectively. The device also offers nonvolatile memory properties, including large hysteresis and stable retention of storage charges. By combining the memory and gate-tunable rectifying properties, the rectification ratio of the device can be controlled and memorized from 0.06 to 400. Moreover, the device can generate three different electrical signals by combining a photoresponsivity of 0.704 A/W with the gate-tunable property, offering potential applications, for example, multiple logic operator. This work presents a heterostructure design based on 2D and III-V compound semiconductors, showing unique physical properties for the development of multifunctional heterostructure devices.

Abstract
Currently, the development of ultraviolet (UV) photodetectors (PDs) has attracted the attention of the research community because of the vast range of applications of photodetectors in modern society. A variety of wide-band gap nanomaterials have been utilized for UV detection to achieve higher photosensitivity. Specifically, zinc oxide (ZnO) nanomaterials have attracted significant attention primarily due to their additional properties such as piezo-phototronic and pyro-phototronic effects, which allow the fabrication of high-performance and low power consumption-based UV PDs. This article primarily focuses on the recent development of ZnO nanostructure-based UV PDs ranging from nanomaterials to architectural device design. A brief overview of the photoresponse characteristics of UV PDs and potential ZnO nanostructures is presented. Moreover, the recent development in self-powered PDs and implementation of the piezo-phototronic effect, plasmonic effect and pyro-phototronic effect for performance enhancement is highlighted. Finally, the research perspectives and future research direction related to ZnO nanostructures for next-generation UV PDs are summarized.

Abstract
The recent rapid development of acoustic logic devices has opened up the possibilities of sound computing and information processing. However, simultaneous realization of acoustic logic devices with subwavelength size, broad bandwidth and passive structure still poses a great challenge. To overcome it, we propose a subwavelength acoustic logic gate which consists of binary-phase passive unit cells placed into a multi-port waveguide. Based on the phase manipulations of the unit cells, we experimentally and numerically realize three basic logic gates OR, NOT and AND, and a composite logic gate XOR with a uniform threshold of 0.4 Pa based on linear acoustic interferences. More importantly, We also design a composite logic gate XNOR by a four-port waveguide, and composite logic gates NOR and NAND and a logic operation A⊙(B+C) based on two logic gates. We demonstrate a 0.6λ-length, 0.3λ-width, and 0.2-fractional bandwidth acoustic logic gate constructed by passive structures, which may lead to important advances in various applications, such as acoustic computing, acoustic information processing and integrated acoustics.

Optimal Sr-Doped Free TiO2@SrTiO3 Heterostructured Nanowire Arrays for High-Efficiency Self-Powered Photoelectrochemical UV Photodetector Applications. CRYSTALS 2019.

Abstract
Due to their high performance, photoelectrochemical ultraviolet (UV) photodetectors have attracted much attention, but the recombination of photogenerated electrons at the interface of photoanode/electrolyte limited further improvement of photoelectrochemical UV photodetectors (PEC UVPDs). Modification of TiO2 photoanode by SrTiO3 could improve the performance of UVPD, because the energy barrier that is established at the TiO2–SrTiO3 interface could accelerate the separation of the photogenerated electrons-holes pair. However, the recombination center that is caused by the preparation of TiO2@SrTiO3 core-shell heterostructured nanostructure decreases the performance of PEC UVPDs, which is still an important problem that hindered its application in PEC UVPDs. In this paper, we presented a Sr-doped free TiO2@SrTiO3 core-shell heterostructured nanowire arrays as a photoanode for the self-powered PEC UVPD. This will not only accelerate the separation of the photogenerated electrons-holes pair, but it will also reduce the recombination of photogenerated electron-hole pairs in the photoanode. The intrinsic effect of SrTiO3 reaction time on the J variations of UVPDs is investigated in detail. An impressive responsivity of 0.358 A W−1 was achieved at 360 nm for the UVPD based on TiO2@SrTiO3 core-shell heterostructured nanowire arrays, which heretofore is a considerably high photoresponsivity for self-powered photoelectrochemical UVPDs. Additionally, this UVPD also exhibits a high on/off ratio, fast response time, excellent visible-blind characteristic, and linear optical signal response.

Abstract
In the ultraviolet detection system, the Si-based photodetector could be sensitised with different kinds of fluorescent material to enhance its response in the short-wavelength range. Thick-shell ZnCdS:Mn/ZnS core/shell quantum dots (QDs) exhibit unique advantages in UV signal sensitisation due to their long PL lifetime, as well as stable emission matched with CCD's response. Herein, a single-channel UV panoramic detection system based on these Mn-doped QDs has been proposed. The QDs@PMMA film was attached on a Si-based CCD camera versus a tapered fibre, and an optical chopper was mounted before the QDs@PMMA film. The long lifetime fluorescence originating from UV signal could be still collected by the CCD camera when the chopper is in the 'off' state, hence the UV/vis signal ratio is significantly enhanced.

Abstract
Here we introduce a junction engineering approach to realize a high performance non-power-driven organic photodiode. To overcome the external power source dependency of conventional photodiodes, in this work, we try not only to implement an inherently large built-in-potential of the junction but also to utilize an inherently low charge carrier concentration of the semiconductor. The strategically designed ITO/plasma-treated ZnO/poly[2-methoxy-5-(2'-ethylhexyloxy)-p-phenylene vinylene] (MEH-PPV)/MoO3/Ag geometry showed near-ideal Schottky junction properties with a high zero-bias built-in potential of 0.54 eV, leading to a zero-bias depletion width of 470 nm. As a result, a green-selective polymeric photodiode with high zero-bias detectivity up to 5 × 1011 Jones and a low noise equivalent power of 2.98 × 10-12 W Hz-1/2 are demonstrated, revealing the possibility of a thin film, color-selective and non-power-driven polymeric photodiode for battery-free application.

Abstract
Nanopatterning of the active layer with feature size comparable to the wavelength of visible light is a popular strategy for improving the performance of optoelectronic devices, as these structures enhance the optical path length by light trapping due to combined contribution of multiple scattering, diffraction, and antireflection. Here, we report the fabrication of ZnO/CdS self-biased heterojunction photodetectors on soft lithographically patterned PEDOT:PSS layers with grating geometry. The present study combines the robustness of inorganic devices along with the convenience of easy patterning capability of an organic PEDOT:PSS layer. Patterns with two different line widths (L P = 350 nm, and Lp = 750 nm) have been used in this study to understand the influence of feature dimension on the device performance. We observe enhanced photoluminescence on patterned devices, in comparison to devices fabricated on flat PEDOT:PSS films, which is attributed to the increased interfacial area between the organic and inorganic layers. The spectral response [R( λ )] and specific detectivity [D * ( λ )] are found to be higher for the devices with Lp = 350 nm as compared to other devices due to enhanced absorption within the structures due to confinement of light, which also results in reduced reflectance in devices with Lp = 350 nm.

Abstract
ZnO-based heterojunctions have found applications as self-powered ultraviolet photodetectors (PDs). However, high doping levels are not compatible with high mobility for metallic doped ZnO-based PDs so further development has been inhibited. This study demonstrates a method to increase the open-circuit voltage (V oc) that allows keeping a sufficiently high level of mobility of ZnO, using a ZnO nanorod/GaN heterojunction that incorporates graphene nanosheets as the active layer. These hybrid PDs have triple the value for V oc of PDs that have only pure ZnO and better exhibit photo-response characteristics. The results of surface Kelvin probe microscopy and x-ray photoelectron spectrometer show that the complex defects that occur because Zn interstitials form a shallow donor in ZnO are mainly responsible for the increase in the value of V oc. Using this functional nanostructure as an active layer represents a new method for the manufacture of high-performance self-powered PDs.

Abstract
We demonstrated room temperature near infrared (NIR) region random lasing (RL) (800-950 nm), with a threshold of nearly 500 μW, in ∼200 nm thick MoS2/Au nanoparticles (NPs)/ZnO heterostructures using photoluminescence spectroscopy. The RL in the above system arises mainly due to the following three reasons: (1) enhanced multiple scattering because of Au/ZnO disordered structure, (2) exciton-plasmon coupling because of Au NPs, and (3) enhanced charge transfer from ZnO to thick MoS2 flakes. RL has recently attracted tremendous interest because of its wide applications in the field of telecommunication, spectroscopy, and specifically in biomedical tissue imaging. This work provides new dimensions toward realization of low power on-chip NIR random lasers made up of biocompatible materials.

Abstract
A novel isotype heterojunction ultraviolet photodetector was fabricated by growing n-ZnO nanorod arrays on n-GaN thin films and then spin-coated with graphene quantum dots (GQDs). Exposed to UV illumination with a wavelength of 365 nm, the time-dependent photoresponse of the hybrid detectors manifests high sensitivity and consistent transients with a rise time of 100 ms and a decay time of 120 ms. Meanwhile, an ultra-high specific detectivity (up to ~ 1012 Jones) and high photoresponsivity (up to 34 mA W-1) are obtained at 10 V bias. Compared to the bare heterojunction detectors, the excellent performance of the GQDs decorated n-ZnO/n-GaN heterostructure is attributed to the efficient immobilization of GQDs on the ZnO nanorod arrays. GQDs were exploited as a light absorber and act like an electron donor to effectively improve the effective carrier concentration in interfacial junction. Moreover, appropriate energy band alignment in GQDs decorated ZnO/GaN hybrids can also be a potential factor in facilitating the UV-induced photocurrent and response speed.

Abstract
Atomically thin, semiconducting transition and post transition metal oxides are emerging as a promising category of materials for high-performance oxide optoelectronic applications. However, the wafer-scale synthesis of crystalline atomically thin samples has been a challenge, particularly for oxides that do not present layered crystal structures. Herein we use a facile, scalable method to synthesise ultrathin bismuth oxide nanosheets using a liquid metal facilitated synthesis approach. Monolayers of α-Bi2O3 featuring sub-nanometre thickness, high crystallinity and large lateral dimensions could be isolated from the liquid bismuth surface. The nanosheets were found to be n-type semiconductors with a direct band gap of ∼3.5 eV and were suited for developing ultra violet (UV) photodetectors. The developed devices featured a high responsivity of ∼400 AW-1 when illuminated with 365 nm UV light and fast response times of ∼70 μs. The developed methods and obtained nanosheets can likely be developed further towards the synthesis of other bismuth based atomically thin chalcogenides that hold promise for electronic, optical and catalytic applications.
