We report the photoresponse of a hydrogenated graphene (H-graphene)-based infrared (IR) photodetector that is 4 times higher than that of pristine graphene. An enhanced photoresponse in H-graphene is attributed to the longer photoinduced carrier lifetime and hence a higher internal quantum efficiency of the device. Moreover, a variation in the angle of incidence of IR radiation demonstrated a nonlinear photoresponse of the detector, which can be attributed to the photon drag effect. However, a linear dependence of the photoresponse is revealed with different incident powers for a given angle of IR incidence. This study presents H-graphene as a tunable photodetector for advanced photoelectronic devices with higher responsivity. In addition, in situ tunability of the graphene bandgap enables achieving a cost-effective technique for developing photodetectors without involving any external treatments.

Two-dimensional ferroelectric materials can generate a bulk photovoltaic effect, making them highly promising for self-powered photodetectors. However, their practical application is limited by a weak photoresponse due to a weak transition strength and wide band gap. In this study, we construct a van der Waals heterojunction using NbOI, which has significant in-plane polarization, with a highly absorbing MoSe layer.

In the domain of spectroscopy, miniaturization efforts often face significant challenges, particularly in achieving high spectral resolution and precise construction. Here, we introduce a computational spectrometer powered by a nonlinear photonic memristor with a WSe homojunction. This approach overcomes traditional limitations, such as constrained Fermi level tunability, persistent dark current, and limited photoresponse dimensionality through dynamic energy band modulation driven by palladium (Pd) ion migration.

Light-responsive hydrogels are highly valued for their dynamic mechanical properties and biocompatibility. In this study, we present a hydrogel system that can either soften or strengthen on green light exposure, or remain unresponsive to light, depending on the addition of adenosyl cobalamin (AdoCbl) and Co2+. These protein-based hydrogels were formed using genetically encoded SpyTag-SpyCatcher chemistry and included green light-sensitive CarHc protein domains.

Hg is highly toxic and can cause serious harm to the environment and humans. Thus, it is vital to develop efficient Hg sensors. In this work, a LMOF-based (LMOF = luminescent metal-organic framework) "turn-on" Hg sensor () is first developed by an aggregation-induced emission (AIE) functional ligand.

In the manipulation of π-conjugated organic polymer, strategic alterations to the polymerization cascade facilitate the integration of donor (D) and acceptor (A) entities within the polymer's backbone. Such control is instrumental in broadening the photoresponse spectrum, enhancing photoinduced charge separation, and augmenting the efficiency of charge transfer processes. The oxygen-containing amino group (-ONH) was innovatively grafted into the polymerization process of the triazine-heptazine ring skeleton, and the -ONH was used as a capping agent to change the chain bonding in the polymerization process, thus a new intramolecular D-A structure was successfully constructed.
