Novel\nSelf-Powered Photodetector with Binary Photoswitching\nBased on SnS<sub><i>x</i></sub>/TiO<sub>2</sub> Heterojunctions

Abstract

Binary photoresponse characteristics\ncan help realize optical signal processing and logic operations. UV\nphotodetectors (PDs) with SnS<sub><i>x</i></sub> nanoflakes\nand TiO<sub>2</sub> nanorod arrays (NRs) show a novel binary photoswitching\nbehavior (change in current from positive to negative) by manipulating\nthe light wavelength without an external power source, utilizing the\ninterfacial recombination of the photogenerated carriers in the type-I\nSnS<sub><i>x</i></sub>/TiO<sub>2</sub> heterojunctions.\nThe enhanced responsivity (<i>R*</i>), detectivity (<i>D<sup>*</sup></i>), and fast photoresponse time for self-powered\nSnS<sub><i>x</i></sub>/TiO<sub>2</sub>PDs can be achieved\nby adjusting the phase ratio of SnS and SnS<sub>2</sub> nanoflakes.\nThe binary photoswitching in the self-powered UV PDs can be applied\nin the encrypted optical signal processing and imaging in some special\nconditions without external bias.
