Abstract

Hydrothermal technique is utilized to synthesize 2D/1D heterostructure based on MoS2 (nanosheets)/WS2 (nanorods) for photodetector application. The sensor was fabricated by drop cast technique. X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infra-red (FTIR) Spectroscopy, Field-Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM), UV-Visible (Uv-Vis), Raman and X-Ray Photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were performed to characterize the synthesized sample. The optical sensor based on heterostructure was studied as a function of laser wavelength (λex): 635 nm (red), 785 nm (infra-red) and 1064 nm (near infra-red) and power of illuminated laser sources. The device exhibits photoresponsivity in a broadband range from the visible to the near-infrared (600–1065 nm, yield a photoresponsivity (Rp) = 15 μA/W and high specific detectivity (D*) = 24 × 106 jones at λex = 785 nm). The photoresponsive characteristics of MoS2/WS2 heterostructure hold the principle of simple power law.
