In this work, the integration of in situ fabricated perovskite quantum dots embedded composite films (PQDCFs) as downshifting materials is first reported for enhancing the ultraviolet (UV) response of silicon (Si) photodetectors toward broadband and solar‐blind light detection. External quantum efficiency measurements show that the UV response of PQDCF coated Si photodiodes greatly improves from near 0% to at most of 50.6% ± 0.5% @ 290 nm. As compared to the calculated maximum value of 87%, the light coupling efficiency of the integrated device is determined to be 80%@395 nm, suggesting an efficient downshifting process. Furthermore, PQDCF is also successfully adapted for electron multiplying charge coupled device (EMCCD) based image sensor. The PQDCF coated EMCCD shows linear response with high‐resolution imaging under illumination at 360, 620, and 960 nm, implying the ability of broadband light detection in the UV, visible (VIS), and near infrared (NIR) region. Furthermore, a solar‐blind UV detection is demonstrated by integrating a solar‐blind UV filter with PQDCF coated EMCCD. In all, the use of PQDCF as luminescent downshifting materials provides an effective and low‐cost way to improve the UV response of Si photodetectors.
ABSTRACT:Hydrophobically modified hydroxyethyl cellulose (BD-HAHEC) was synthesized by the macromolecular reaction of hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) with bromododecane (BD). Study of the effects of polymer concentration, shear rate, temperature, and electrolytes on the rheological behavior of BD-HAHEC indicated that the polymers had high viscosity, excellent viscosity retention in brine water, good thermal stability, and surface activity. Furthermore, investigation of the micromorphology of BD-HAHEC solutions revealed the close relationship of rheological behavior and a hydrophobically associating effect.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
