研究目的
To develop a stretchable photodetector utilizing the change in capacitance formed in a composite film containing semiconductor particles, addressing the limitations of conventional photodetectors in terms of mechanical flexibility and sensitivity under deformation.
研究成果
The study successfully implemented a stretchable, capacitive photodetector by dispersing ZnS:Cu particles in a stretchable polymer, PUU. The device demonstrated high sensitivity, fast response time, mechanical stretchability, optical transparency, and wavelength selectivity. The operation of the capacitive sensing mechanism eliminated the need for direct contact between semiconductor particles and electrodes, enabling the device to function even after severe damage such as cutting.
研究不足
The study acknowledges that when the strain exceeds 50%, the photoswitching characteristics of the device become unstable. Additionally, the long decay time is attributed to the abundant interfaces between the ZnS:Cu particles and the polymer serving as deep traps.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved synthesizing a transparent and stretchable polymer, polyurethane-urea (PUU), for dispersing ZnS:Cu particles to form a sensory layer. The device was structured with two facing transparent electrodes made from Ag nanowires (AgNWs) and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS).
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
ZnS:Cu microparticles were selected for their semiconductor properties, and their dispersion in PUU was optimized for the sensory layer.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Materials included polyester diol, isophorone diisocyanate, dibutylamine, toluene, N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), 2-propanol, isophorone diamine, SYLGARD 184 elastomer kit, and polyurethane (PU) pellets. Equipment included a UV–visible spectrophotometer, non-contact measurement system, FE-SEM, automatic stretch-testing machine, and LCR meter.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The fabrication involved spin-coating and curing processes to form layers of PDMS, PU, AgNWs, and ZnS:Cu-PUU composite, followed by lamination to complete the device.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The capacitance changes upon light irradiation were measured using an LCR meter, and the optical properties were analyzed using a UV–visible spectrophotometer.
