“…Various fabrication methods, including chemical bath deposition (CBD) [33], electrochemical deposition [34,35], thermal evaporation [13,36], electron beam evaporation (EBE) [37], molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) [38,39] and RF magnetron sputtering [40,41], as well as other preparation methods [42,43], have been adopted to prepare PbSe nanocrystalline and polycrystalline coatings. Likewise, great efforts have been devoted to the structural, compositional, optical, electrical, and optoelectronic properties of this material, as well as the relevant physical mechanisms such as crystal growth and carrier transport [44][45][46][47]. Among these, high performance infrared-sensitive photodetectors based on the quantum dot [29,30], polycrystalline [48,49], and composite material [50], as well as the relevant heterojunctions [51], have attracted wider attention.…”
