Tungsten disulfide (WS 2 ), as a typical metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), has aroused keen research interests in photodetection. Here, field effect phototransistors (FE p Ts) based on heterojunction between monolayer WS 2 and PbS colloidal quantum dots are demonstrated to show high photoresponsivity (up to ∼14 A/W), wide electric bandwidth (∼396 Hz), and excellent stability. Meanwhile, the devices exhibit fast photoresponse times of ∼153 μs (rise time) and ∼226 μs (fall time) due to the assistance of heterojunction on the transfer of photoexcitons. Therefore, excellent device performances strongly underscore monolayer WS 2 −PbS quantum dot as a promising material for future photoelectronic applications.

Organic lead halide perovskites have received a huge amount of interest since emergence, because of tremendous potential applications in optoelectronic devices. Here field effect phototransistors (FETs) based on CHNHPbI perovskite/PbSe colloidal quantum dot heterostructure are demonstrated. The high light absorption and optoelectric conversion efficiency, due to the combination of perovskite and quantum dots, maintain the responsivities in a high level, especially at 460 nm up to 1.2 A/W. The phototransistor exhibits bipolar behaviors, and the carrier mobilities are determined to be 0.147 cmVs for holes and 0.16 cmVs for electrons. The device has a wide spectral response spectrum ranging from 300 to 1500 nm. A short photoresponse time is less than 3 ms due to the assistance of heterojunction on the transfer of photoexcitons. The excellent performances presented in the device especially emphasize the CHNHPbI perovskite-PbSe quantum dot as a promising material for future photoelectronic applications.

All-inorganic perovskite quantum dots (APQDs) have emerged as excellent materials which have been widely used in numerous micro-nano photoelectric devices. However, resistive random access memory (RRAM) devices based on APQDs are relatively scarce. In this work, RRAM based on CsPbBr3 APQDs prepared by the solution processed method was fabricated at room temperature. The sandwich structure memory device shows high reproducibility, good data retention ability, and light assisted multilevel storage capability. The resistance ratio (ON/OFF) of the RRAM device between the high resistance state and the low resistance state reaches almost 107. Additionally, the device exhibits high performances under low power consumption—low reading voltage (−0.3 V) and operation voltage (−2.4 V/1.55 V). It is suggested that the connection and rupture of conducting filaments, which are formed by Br vacancies under an electric field, are responsible for the resistive switching effect. Our work provides an opportunity to develop the next generation high-performance and stable nonvolatile memory devices.

All‐inorganic cesium lead halide perovskite nanocrystals have emerged as attractive optoelectronic nanomaterials due to their stabilities and highly efficient photoluminescence. High‐sensitivity photodetection covering a large spectral range from ultraviolet to near‐infrared is dominated by phototransistors. To overcome existing limitations in sensitivity and cost of state‐of‐the‐art systems, new‐style device structures and composite material systems are needed with low‐cost fabrication and high performance. Here, field‐effect phototransistors (FEpTs) based on CsPbBr3–PbS colloidal quantum dot heterostructure dominate to obtain a wide response spectral range and high performance. The large spectral detection spectrum is from 400 to 1500 nm similar to PbS quantum dots' response. It is worth mentioning that the device shows responsivity up to 4.5 × 105 A W−1, which is three orders of magnitude higher than the counterpart of individual material‐based devices. Furthermore, other high performance of hybrid CsPbBr3–PbS FEpTs including a short photoresponse time (less than 10 ms) is ascribed to the assistance of heterojunction on the transfer of photoexcitons. The solution‐based fabrication process and excellent device performance strongly underscore CsPbBr3–PbS quantum dot as a promising material for future photoelectronic applications.

We fabricated a vertical field effect phototransistor with Au/Ag nanowires as the transparent source electrode and with vertically stacked layers of poly(3-hexylthiophene) (120 nm) and lead sulfide quantum dots (380 nm), which formed heterojunctions. The built-in electric field in the layered heterojunction aids the separation of photoinduced excitons, while the short channel enables efficient carrier transport across the active region. Both of these benefits enable a high photoperformance and fast photoresponse. This vertical phototransistor can be operated at room temperature with a low operation voltage of −1 V and is therefore energy-efficient. Further, it has a wide response spectrum from 400 to 2100 nm, a high photoresponsivity of more than 9 × 10 4 AW −1 , and a high detectivity of up to 2 × 10 13 Jones (cm Hz 1/2 W −1 ) under infrared illumination. Additionally, this vertical phototransistor had a response time of 9 ms, which is faster than a previously reported lateral field effect phototransistor based on poly(3hexylthiophene)/lead sulfide quantum dots. The vertical architecture combined with the layered heterojunction approach provides a new, facile way of fabricating high performance devices.
