Abstract
Mixed-dimensional van der Waals (vdW) integration has been demonstrated to be effective for the modulation of the physical properties of homogeneous materials. Herein, we reported the enhancement of photothermal conversion and decrease of thermal conductivity in metallic single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) films with the integration of chemical vapor deposition-grown monolayer MoS2 films. The induced temperature gradient in SWCNT-MoS2 hybrid films drives carrier diffusion to generate photocurrent via the photothermoelectric (PTE) effect, and a self-powered photodetector working in the visible band range from 405 to 785 nm was demonstrated. The maximum responsivity of the device increases by 6 times compared to that of the SWCNT counterpart. More importantly, the mixed-dimensional device exhibits polarization-dependent photogeneration, showing a large anisotropy ratio of 1.55. This work paves a way for developing high-performance, polarization-sensitive photodetectors by mixed-dimensional integration.
