Abstract
Aggregation-induced emission (AIE) materials have shown attractive prospects in the fields of biological probes, chemical sensing, optoelectronic systems and stimuli responses. Here, we have successfully fabricated photomultiplication-type organic photodetectors based on an AIE material by designing a device structure. The high photoconductive gain was attributed to the interfacial trap-assisted hole-tunneling injection caused by MoO3 as the trap for electrons. The fabricated AIE-based photomultiplication-type organic photodetectors exhibited the figures of merits of high external quantum efficiency in excess of 60 000%, responsivity of 172 A W-1, detectivity of 3.08 × 1012 Jones, and photoresponse with a rise time of 1.69 ms. Moreover, the devices also showed good stability with a half-life of 700 hours at continuous testing under ambient conditions, which makes them one of the most stable OPDs reported so far. The results demonstrate that AIE molecules are an excellent kind of photodetective material.

[PMID: 31454935 PMCID: PMC6780170 DOI: 10.3390/nano9091198] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/31/2019] [Revised: 08/21/2019] [Accepted: 08/21/2019] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
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.
