研究目的
To develop a cost-effective, facile fabrication technique compatible with existing silicon process technology for efficient broadband (UV to NIR) photodetectors using carbon nanostructures derived from organic waste.
研究成果
The study successfully developed a facile and cost-effective approach to design an organic–inorganic hybrid material platform compatible with existing Si-technology for broadband photodetectors. The integration of CQDs, rGO, and AgNPs on p-Si minimized the dark current and greatly improved the photodetector responsivity from UV to NIR. The highest responsivity and detectivity achieved were 1 A W?1 and 2 × 1012 Jones for UV, 0.2 A W?1 and 2 × 1011 Jones for visible, and 0.3 A W?1 and 4.1 × 1011 Jones for NIR exposure.
研究不足
The study mentions that with further optimization and defect engineering, faster switching can be achieved, indicating current limitations in response time and recovery time.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involves the synthesis of carbon quantum dots (CQDs) from organic waste and their integration with reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) to form a hybrid heterostructure with Si for broadband photodetection.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
p-Si(111) substrates were used, cleaned through the RCA process, and coated with CQDs, rGO-CQD composite, and rGO-CQD-AgNP composite via spray coating.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment includes a spray gun, thermal evaporation method for electrode formation, TEM, UV-vis-NIR spectrophotometer, XPS, XRD, Raman spectrometer, and Keithley 6487 Source-Measurement Unit. Materials include Carica Papaya pulp for CQD synthesis, AgNO3 for AgNP synthesis, and GO for rGO formation.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The process involves synthesis of CQDs and AgNPs, fabrication of devices on p-Si substrates by spray coating, and characterization of the devices' photoresponse under UV, visible, and NIR illumination.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The photoresponse was analyzed in terms of responsivity, detectivity, and on-off ratio under varying light intensities and wavelengths.
