Abstract

Asymmetric contacts were used to assemble extremely photosensitive and self-powered photodetectors (SPDs) on rigid and polyimide (PI) substrates based on one-dimensional (1D)-CdS nanobelts.

Highlights

  • Flexible photodetectors have recently gained more attention due to their wide range of applications including motion detection, optical communications, sensing, biomedical imaging and missile warning.[1,2] A key requirement in the optimal design of such flexible photodetectors is the power consumption

  • All of the detected peaks can be attributed to hexagonal wurtzite Cadmium sulfide (CdS) with lattice parameters of a = 4.14 Å and c = 6.72 Å, in good agreement with JCPDS card No 41-1049

  • The hexagonal wurtzite CdS belongs to the C46v(p63mc) space group and may exhibit the lattice vibrational modes Gopt = A1 + 2B1 + E1 + 2E2

Summary

Introduction

Flexible photodetectors have recently gained more attention due to their wide range of applications including motion detection, optical communications, sensing, biomedical imaging and missile warning.[1,2] A key requirement in the optimal design of such flexible photodetectors is the power consumption. The device exhibited an ultra-low dark current of 36 fA, which lead to a high photosensitivity of 1.54 Â 106%, high responsivity of 36 mA WÀ1, specific detectivity of 2.36 Â 1012 Jones, and noise equivalent power of 2.94 Â 10À15 W HzÀ1/2 under 215 mW cmÀ2 light irradiation.
