Utilizing noble metal nanoparticles through novel technologies is a promising avenue for enhancing the performance of organic/inorganic photodetectors. This study investigates the performance enhancement of Formamidinium-based perovskite (Pe) photodetectors (PDs) through the incorporation of plasmonic silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) arrays using a 2D printing technique. The incorporation of plasmonic Ag NPs leads to a major improvement in the performance of the planar PD device, which is attributed to increased light absorption, hot electron generation, and more efficient charge extraction and transport.

The development of high-performance and low-cost photodetectors (PDs) capable of detecting a broad range of wavelengths, from ultraviolet (UV) to near-infrared (NIR), is crucial for applications in sensing, imaging, and communication systems. This work presents a novel approach for printing a broadband PD based on a heterostructure of two-dimensional (2D) molybdenum diselenide (MoSe) and gallium arsenide (GaAs). The fabrication process involves a precise technique to print MoSe nanoflower (NF) ink onto a prepatterned GaAs substrate.

Two-dimensional (2D) semiconducting material-based photodetectors (PDs) with high responsivity and fast photo-response are of great interest for various applications such as optical communications, biomedical imaging, security surveillance, environmental monitoring, . Additive manufacturing such as 2D printing is a potentially less cumbersome and cost-effective alternative to conventional microdevice fabrication processes used in the production of PDs. Here, we have fabricated a Si/WS quantum dot-based heterostructure PD with a very short electrode gap of 40 μm by a simple printing process.
