High-Sensitivity 2D MoS2/1D MWCNT Hybrid Dimensional Heterostructure Photodetector

A photodetector based on a hybrid dimensional heterostructure of laterally aligned multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and multilayered MoS2 was prepared using the micro-nano fixed-point transfer technique. Thanks to the high mobility of carbon nanotubes and the efficient interband absorption of MoS2, broadband detection from visible to near-infrared (520-1060 nm) was achieved. The test results demonstrate that the MWCNT-MoS2 heterostructure-based photodetector device exhibits an exceptional responsivity, detectivity, and external quantum efficiency. Specifically, the device demonstrated a responsivity of 3.67 x 10(3) A/W (lambda = 520 nm, V-ds = 1 V) and 718 A/W (lambda = 1060 nm, V-ds = 1 V). Moreover, the detectivity (D*) of the device was found to be 1.2 x 10(10) Jones (lambda = 520 nm) and 1.5 x 10(9) Jones (lambda = 1060 nm), respectively. The device also demonstrated external quantum efficiency (EQE) values of approximately 8.77 x 10(5)% (lambda = 520 nm) and 8.41 x 10(4)% (lambda = 1060 nm). This work achieves visible and infrared detection based on mixed-dimensional heterostructures and provides a new option for optoelectronic devices based on low-dimensional materials.
