Two-dimensional van der Waals heterostructures can combine properties of individual materials to enable high-performance photodetection. Here, a novel ReS 2 /graphene/WSe 2 heterostructure, prepared by dry transfer, demonstrates air-stable, high-performance, polarization-sensitive, and broadband photodetection. Dark current can be strongly suppressed by the built-in electric field of the heterostructure. The specific detectivities are up to 10 10 Jones and 10 9 Jones under zero and reverse bias, respectively. Response time is on the order of a millisecond. The polarizationsensitive photodetection has been observed in the heterostructure due to the low lattice symmetry of ReS 2 . Broadband photoresponse from visible to infrared range has been demonstrated. A high photoresponsivity of 1.02 A W −1 is achieved for illumination at the wavelength of 785 nm. This work provides a viable approach toward future high-performance, air-stable, and polarizationsensitive broadband photodetectors.
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.
