Pt/ZnGa2O4/p-Si Back-to-Back Heterojunction for Deep UV Sensitive Photovoltaic Photodetection with Ultralow Dark Current and High Spectral Selectivity

Dan Zhang et al.

Summary: A back-to-back heterojunction was proposed to fabricate Si-based photovoltaic photodetectors with high deep ultraviolet (DUV) spectral selectivity. The Pt/ZnGa2O4/p-Si DUV photovoltaic detector exhibited a low dark current density, a large photo-to-dark current ratio, and a fast response speed. The performance enhancement was attributed to the higher Schottky barrier established between Pt and ZnGa2O4 in the back-to-back heterojunction structure.

Applications of Lead-Free Cs2AgBiBr6 Single Crystals in Photodetectors and Self-Powered Photodetectors by Symmetric/Asymmetric Electrodes

Danda Hao et al.

Summary: Lead halide hybrid perovskites have been extensively studied as light-harvesting materials due to their unique optoelectrical characteristics and easy deposition method. However, toxicity and stability issues have hindered their further development. In this study, stable lead-free Cs2AgBiBr6 single crystals with excellent photoelectric properties were prepared. Symmetric Au electrodes resulted in photodetectors with broad spectral response, high responsivity, external quantum efficiency, and detectivity. Interestingly, asymmetric electrodes (Au and Ag) led to the development of the first self-driven photodetector based on the lead-free perovskite single crystals, showing good photoresponse properties at 0 V bias. Both devices demonstrated short response times at the microsecond scale and good stability without encapsulation, indicating great potential for optoelectronic device applications.
