Abstract
The integration of lead sulfide quantum dots (QDs) with a high-conductivity material that is compatible with a scalable fabrication is an important route for the applications of QD-based photodetectors. Herein, we first developed a broadband photodetector by combining amorphous ZnO and PbS QDs, forming a heterojunction structure. The photodetector showed detectivity up to 7.9 × 1012 and 4.1 × 1011 jones under 640 and 1310 nm illumination, respectively. The role of the oxygen background pressure in the electronic structure of ZnO films grown by pulsed laser deposition was systematically studied, and it was found to play an important role in the conductivity associated with the variation of the oxygen vacancy concentration. By increasing the oxygen vacancy concentration, the electron mobility of amorphous ZnO layers dramatically increased and the work function decreased, which were beneficial for the photocurrent enhancement of ZnO/PbS QD photodetectors. Our results provide a simple and highly scalable approach to develop broadband photodetectors with high performanceFile | Dimensione | Formato | |
