The intentionally designed band alignment of heterostructures and doping engineering are keys to implement device structure design and device performance optimization. According to the theoretical prediction of several typical materials among the transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) and group-IV metal chalcogenides, MoS and SnSe present the largest staggered band offset. The large band offset is conducive to the separation of photogenerated carriers, thus MoS /SnSe is a theoretically ideal candidate for fabricating photodetector, which is also verified in the experiment. Furthermore, in order to extend the photoresponse spectrum to solar-blind ultraviolet (SBUV), doping engineering is adopted to form an additional electron state, which provides an extra carrier transition channel. In this work, pure MoS /SnSe and doped MoS /SnSe heterostructures are both fabricated. In terms of the photoelectric performance evaluation, the rejection ratio R /R of the photodetector based on doped MoS /SnSe is five orders of magnitude higher than that of pure MoS /SnSe , while the response time is obviously optimized by 3 orders. The results demonstrate that the combination of band alignment and doping engineering provides a new pathway for constructing SBUV photodetectors.

The ambient air-processed preparation of kesterite Cu ZnSn(S,Se) (CZTSSe) thin film is highly promising for the fabrication of low-cost and eco-friendly solar cells. However, the Sn volatilization loss and formation of a thick Mo(S,Se) interfacial layer during the traditional selenization process pose challenges for fabricating high-efficiency CZTSSe solar cells. Here, CZTS precursors prepared by a sol-gel process in ambient air are selenized and assisted with SnSe vapor via one- and two-step selenization to prepare a CZTSSe absorber on a Mo film and, subsequently, solar cells.
