Ultraviolet(UV) photodetectors(PDs) can monitor UV radiation, enabling it to be effective for many applications, such as communication, imaging and sensing. The rapid progress on portable and wearable optoelectronic devices places a great demand on self-powered PDs. However, high-performance self-powered PDs are still limited. Herein we display a transparent and self-powered PD based on a p-CuI/n-TiOheterojunction, which exhibits a high on-off ratio (10at 310 nm) and a fast response speed (rise time/decay time = 0.11 ms/0.72 ms) without bias. Moreover, the device shows an excellent UV-selective sensitivity as a solar-blind UV PD with a high UV/visible rejection ratio (/= 5.3 × 10), which can be ascribed to the wide bandgaps of CuI and TiO. This work provides a feasible route for the construction of transparent, self-powered PDs based on p-n heterojunctions.
紫外(UV)光电探测器(PDs)可以监测紫外线辐射,使其在许多应用中发挥作用,如通信、成像和传感。便携式和可穿戴光电器件的快速发展对自供电PDs提出了很高的要求。然而,高性能自供电PDs仍然有限。在此,我们展示了一种基于p-CuI/n-TiO异质结的透明自供电PD,它在无偏压情况下表现出高开关比(310nm处为10)和快速响应速度(上升时间/衰减时间=0.11ms/0.72ms)。此外,该器件作为日盲紫外PD表现出优异的紫外选择性灵敏度,具有高紫外/可见光抑制比(/=5.3×10),这可归因于CuI和TiO的宽带隙。这项工作为基于p-n异质结构建透明自供电PDs提供了一条可行的途径。
