A Self-Powered photodetector based on bi₂o₂se/wse₂ heterostructure for enhanced optoelectronic applications
摘要
In this study, Bi₂O₂Se nanosheets were synthesized via a hydrothermal method, and a Bi₂O₂Se/WSe₂ heterostructure was subsequently constructed using a mechanical compounding approach to develop a photoelectrochemical photodetector. By optimizing the mass ratio and KOH electrolyte concentration, the Bi₂O₂Se/WSe₂ heterostructure exhibited optimal performance at a 7:1 ratio in 0.1 M KOH. Benefiting from the interfacial heterojunction between the two materials, the Bi₂O₂Se/WSe₂ heterostructure achieved a photocurrent density of -2.74 µA/cm² under zero external bias, representing an order-of-magnitude enhancement compared to pristine Bi₂O₂Se nanosheets. Concurrently, the rise time was significantly reduced from 0.86 s to 0.28 s, And the decay time decreased from 4.85 s to 0.32 s, demonstrating superior self-powered characteristics. Furthermore, the Bi₂O₂Se/WSe₂ heterostructure exhibited a maximum photoresponsivity of 61 µA/W. The optimized Bi₂O₂Se/WSe₂ photodetector showed no notable performance degradation during a 10,000 s cyclic on/off illumination test. This work highlights the immense potential of the Bi₂O₂Se/WSe₂ heterostructure-based self-powered photodetector in delivering exceptional self-driven functionality, outstanding optoelectronic properties, and robust stability for practical applications.
