A reduced graphene oxide-polyvinyl pyrrolidone fibers/p-Si photodetector with photoconductive mode was successfully fabricated and characterized with excellent rectification ratio, self-powering characteristics, and sensitivity to light, showing great potential for optoelectronic applications.
A reduced graphene oxide-the polyvinyl pyrrolidone (RGO-PVP) fibers (Fs)/p-Si photodetector having photoconductive mode was fabricated by electrospinning of the fibers on p-Si. The Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM) image of RGO sheets, the X-ray Diffraction (XRD) analyses, the Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra, and the Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) curves of graphene oxide (GO) and RGO were carried out. In addition to the current-voltage (I-V) and frequency-dependent capacitance voltage (C-V) measurements of the device in the dark, the I-V measurements for various light intensities were performed and investigated in detail. The device showed a good rectification ratio of 1121 (at +/- 1 V) for dark as well as self-powering characteristics and the ON/OFF ratio of increases from 3.9 x 10(5) (10 mW/cm(2)) to 1.5 x 106 (30 mW/cm(2)) at self-powered mode under light illumination. It was observed that the reverse bias current of the device increased approximately 3 orders under 10 mW/cm(2) light intensity with respect to the dark one and the RGO-PVP Fs/p-Si device could be a potential device for optoelectronic applications. It was found from the responsivity, ON/OFF ratio, and the detectivity that the device is highly sensitive to light and could be an important design for optical applications such as photodetectors.
