Transparent Ultraviolet Photodetectors Based on Ga2O3 Electrospun Nanowires

Article Preview

Abstract:

Ultraviolet photodetectors (PDs) based on low-dimensional (LD) gallium oxide nanofibers were synthesized and assembled by a low cost and scalable electrospinning method. Highly uniaxially aligned nanofibers were used to assemble photodetectors. Photoconductive investigations indicate that the prepared photodetectors (PDs) are highly sensitive to ultraviolet (UV) light. The prepared photodetectors have shown a high photosensitivity (103), fast photoresponse, excellent stability, and reproducibility under the illumination of UV light 254 nm. These electrospun nanofibers have also shown a high transparency (<85%) in the visible light 400-700 nm range. The high transparency of these nanobelts demonstrates their use for invisible UV photosensors.
