All‐Solution‐Processed InGaO/PbI₂ Heterojunction for Self‐Powered Omnidirectional Near‐Ultraviolet Photodetection and Imaging

Abstract

The persistent photocurrent (PPC) and high carrier concentration are challenging the ultraviolet photodetection behaviors of amorphous InGaO films. Herein, InGaO/PbI2 heterojunction is constructed by an all‐solution synthesis process to set up a built‐in electric field at the heterojunction interface, which is aimed at the inhibition of PPC, suppression of dark current, and promotion of photogenerated carrier separation. With an optimized In content of 90%, the as‐fabricated InGaO/PbI2 heterojunction photodetector exhibits excellent self‐powered near‐ultraviolet photodetection behaviors with high Ilight/Idark ratio of 104, ultralow dark current of 10−13 A and fast response times of 0.8/0.6 ms. Additionally, benefiting to the all‐solution synthesis process and amorphous characteristic, InGaO/PbI2 heterojunction can be implanted onto any useful substrates to achieve the specific function of photodetection. The as‐fabricated InGaO/PbI2 heterojunction flexible self‐powered photodetector exhibits outstanding mechanical flexibility, bending endurance, and photoelectric stability. When the InGaO/PbI2 heterojunction is implanted onto the transparent substrate, it demonstrates excellent omnidirectional self‐powdered photodetection performance and imaging capability. All results promise all‐solution‐processed InGaO for next‐generation advanced optoelectronics.

“…8–14 Moreover, they provide the advantage of designing heterostructures without the requirement of precise atomic lattice matching, resulting in greater freedom in designing and engineering electronic and optoelectronic devices. 15–22 The use of vdW heterostructures composed of 2D crystals as tunneling transistors is a highly promising field for low-power applications. 23,24 These heterostructures allow for the manipulation of carrier densities and electron affinities, enabling the tailored design of band alignments.…”

“…In addition, the response speed of the device tends to be reduced due to local disturbances in the device depletion region caused by external power sources [ 14 ]. In recent years, ZnO-based photodetectors with self-powered characteristics have received more and more attention because they do not require any bias voltage to drive the device [ 15 , 16 , 17 ]. There are two main types of photodetectors, one of which is to use the photovoltaic effect and introduce a built-in electric field into the device through a p-n junction or Schottky junction.…”
