Ultraviolet photodetectors (UV PDs) have attracted extensive attention owing to their wide applications, such as optical communication, missile tracking, and fire warning. Wide-bandgap metal-oxide semiconductor materials have become the focus of high-performance UV PD development owing to their unique photoelectric properties and good stability. Compared with other wide-bandgap materials, studies on indium oxide (InO)-based photoelectrochemical (PEC) UV PDs are rare. In this work, we explore the photoresponse of InO-based PEC UV PDs for the first time. InO microrods (MRs) were synthesized by a hydrothermal method with subsequent annealing. InO MR PEC PDs have good UV photoresponse, showing a high responsivity of 21.19 mA/W and high specific detectivity of 2.03 × 10 Jones, which surpass most aqueous-type PEC UV PDs. Moreover, InO MR PEC PDs have good multicycle and long-term stability irradiated by 365 nm. Our results prove that InO holds great promise in high-performance PEC UV PDs.
紫外光电探测器(UV PDs)因其在光通信、导弹跟踪和火灾预警等广泛应用而备受关注。宽带隙金属氧化物半导体材料因其独特的光电特性和良好的稳定性,已成为高性能紫外光电探测器发展的焦点。与其他宽带隙材料相比,基于氧化铟(InO)的光电化学(PEC)紫外光电探测器的研究较少。在这项工作中,我们首次探索了基于InO的PEC紫外光电探测器的光响应。通过水热法合成了InO微棒(MRs),并进行了后续退火处理。InO MR PEC PDs具有良好的紫外光响应,显示出21.19 mA/W的高响应度和2.03×10琼斯的高比探测率,超过了大多数水相型PEC紫外光电探测器。此外,InO MR PEC PDs在365 nm照射下具有良好的多周期和长期稳定性。我们的结果证明,InO在高性能PEC紫外光电探测器中具有巨大潜力。
