Semiconductor micro/nanostructures with broad bandgap can provide powerful candidates for fabricating ultraviolet photodetectors (PDs) due to their proper bandgap, unique optoelectronic properties, large surface-to-volume ratio and good integration. However, semiconducting micro/nanostructures suffer from low electron conductivity and abundant surface defects, which greatly limits their practical application in developing PDs. In this work, an ultraviolet PD consisting of single Ga-doped ZnO microwire (ZnO:Ga MW) and p-type poly(3,4ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) was designed. When exposed to ultraviolet illumination, the PD exhibits excellent performance (responsivity 185 mA/W, detectivity 2.4 Jones, and fast response speed of 212 s for rise time and 387 s for decay time) under self-driven conditions. Compared with that of an undoped ZnO MW-based PD, the responsivity and detectivity of ZnO:Ga MW/PEDOT:PSS PD are significantly enhanced over 400 and 600, respectively. Due to the incorporation of Ga element, the charge transport properties of a ZnO:Ga MW, specifically for the mobility, are effectively enhanced, which can substantially facilitate the generation, separation, transport and harvest efficiency of photo-generated carriers in the as-fabricated PD. Besides, the Ga-incorporation improves the crystalline quality of MWs and reduces surface state density, further suggesting a high-quality ZnO:Ga MW/PEDOT:PSS heterojunction. This work provides a potential approach for designing high-performance self-powered ultraviolet PDs from the aspect of enhancing carrier transport through fine doping.

基于单根ZnO微线/ PEDOT:PSS异质结并通过少量ga掺杂的高迁移率诱导高性能自供电紫外光电探测器
具有宽禁带的半导体微/纳米结构由于其适当的禁带,独特的光电性能,大的表面体积比和良好的集成度,可以为制造紫外线光电探测器(PD)提供强大的候选材料。然而,半导体微/纳米结构具有低电子电导率和丰富的表面缺陷,这极大地限制了它们在开发局部放电方面的实际应用。在这项工作中,设计了由单根掺杂Ga的ZnO微丝(ZnO:Ga MW)和p型聚(3,4-乙撑二氧噻吩):聚(苯乙烯磺酸盐)(PEDOT:PSS)组成的紫外线PD。当暴露于紫外线照射下,PD表现出出色的性能(响应度 185 mA / W,检测能力 2.4 琼斯,响应速度快 212 s为上升时间和 387 自驱动条件下的s表示衰减时间。与未掺杂的ZnO MW基PD相比,ZnO:Ga MW / PEDOT:PSS PD的响应度和检测率显着提高了400 和600, 分别。由于掺入了Ga元素,ZnO:Ga MW的电荷传输特性(特别是对于迁移率)得到了有效增强,这可以大大促进光生载流子在原始状态下的生成,分离,传输和收获效率人造PD。此外,Ga的掺入改善了MWs的晶体质量并降低了表面态密度,进一步表明了高质量的ZnO:Ga MW / PEDOT:PSS异质结。从通过精细掺杂增强载流子传输的角度来看,这项工作为设计高性能自供电紫外线PD提供了一种潜在的方法。
