Flexible and wearable electrical devices have attracted extensive research attention in recent years. In the device fabrication process, the low-cost and compatibility with industrialized mass production are of great importance. Herein, membrane-based flexible photodetectors (PDs) based on Polyvinylidene Fluoride filter membrane with the structure of Ag nanowires (NWs)/ZnO NWs/graphene were fabricated by a full-solution method. The built-in electric field due to the ZnO/graphene Schottky junction is in favor of the separation and transport of photo-generated carriers, leading to enhanced device performance. The I /I ratio was as high as ∼10, which is far superior to that of the reported ZnO-based fiber-shaped PDs. The PDs with remarkable flexibility can be easily attached to the human body and even can work steadily under serious bending conditions. Particularly, the photocurrent can keep 95% of the maximum value after the PD was bent 1000 times. In addition to the wearable applications, the membrane-based PD arrays can also be applied for imaging application.

The low-power, high-performance graphene/ZnO Schottky photodiodes were demonstrated through the direct sputter-growth of ZnO onto the thermally-cleaned graphene/SiO/Si substrate at room temperature. Prior to the growth of ZnO, a thermal treatment of the graphene surface was performed at 280 °C for 10 min in a vacuum to desorb chemical residues that may serve as trap sites at the interface between graphene and ZnO. The device clearly showed a rectifying behavior with the Schottky barrier of ≈0.

Graphene barristors are a novel type of electronic switching device with excellent performance, which surpass the low on-off ratios that limit the operation of conventional graphene transistors. In barristors, a gate bias is used to vary graphene's Fermi level, which in turn controls the height and resistance of a Schottky barrier at a graphene/semiconductor heterojunction. Here we demonstrate that the switching characteristic of a thin-film ZnO/graphene device with simple geometry results from tunneling current across the Schottky barriers formed at the ZnO/graphene heterojunctions.
