Abstract

Nanoscale self-powered photodetectors that can work without any external source of energy are required for future applications. There is potential demand for these devices in areas like wireless surveillance, weather forecasting, remote monitoring, and places where the availability of power is scarce. This study provides an overview of state of the art research trends and improvements in self-powered photodetectors. A device engineering perspective for improvement in the figures of merit has been presented along with a description of additional effects like pyro-phototronic, piezo-phototronic, and surface plasmonics.
