Abstract
Inorganic/organic self-powered UV photodetectors based on Zn2SnO4/polyaniline (PANI) heterojunction are investigated in this study. Zn2SnO4 microspheres were synthesized by the hydrothermal method, and PANI was directly polymerized on Zn2SnO4 microspheres to form Zn2SnO4/PANI (ZP) compounds. The photodetectors constructed by n-Zn2SnO4/p-ZP heterojunction show excellent self-powered behavior with good stability and repeatability under UV light illumination. In particular, the device based on Zn2SnO4/ZP-30 displays the high photocurrent (10.805 μA), responsivity (251.279 mA W−1) and detectivity (1.629 × 1012 Jones) at zero bias. The favorable bandgap difference and structure are contributed to separate and transport photogenerated carriers rapidly and thus enhance its photoresponse performances.
期刊介绍:
Optical Materials has an open access mirror journal Optical Materials: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review.
The purpose of Optical Materials is to provide a means of communication and technology transfer between researchers who are interested in materials for potential device applications. The journal publishes original papers and review articles on the design, synthesis, characterisation and applications of optical materials.
OPTICAL MATERIALS focuses on:
• Optical Properties of Material Systems;
• The Materials Aspects of Optical Phenomena;
• The Materials Aspects of Devices and Applications.
Authors can submit separate research elements describing their data to Data in Brief and methods to Methods X.
