Self-powered ultraviolet (UV) photodetectors (PDs) are critical for future energy-efficient optoelectronic systems due to their low energy consumption and high sensitivity. In this paper, the vertically aligned-GaOnanotube arrays (NTs) have been prepared on GaN/sapphire substrate by the thermal oxidation process combined with the dry etching technology, and applied in the UV photoelectrochemical photodetectors (PEC-PDs) for the first time. Based on the large specific surface area of-GaONTs on GaN/sapphire substrates and the solid/liquid heterojunction, the PEC-PDs exhibit excellent self-powered characteristics under 255 nm (UVA) and 365 nm (UVC) light illumination. Under 255 nm (365 nm) light illumination, the maximum responsivity of 49.9 mA W(32.04 mA W) and a high detectivity of 1.58 × 10Jones (1.01 × 10Jones) were achieved for the-GaONTs photodetectors at 0 V bias. In addition, the device shows a fast rise/decay time of 8/4 ms (4/2 ms), which is superior to the level of the previously reported self-powered UV PEC-PDs. This high-performance PEC-PD has potential applications in next-generation low-energy UV detection systems.

Narrowband photodetection with selective light detection in ultraviolet (UV) range is particularly pronounced in specialized such as targeted wavelength imaging and UV-phototherapy. In contrast to conventional strategies, ferroelectric materials with pronounced bulk photovoltaic effect (BPVE) provide a novel asymmetric carrier generation concept for achieving filterless spectrally selective photodetection. Herein, for the first time, the realization of self-powered filterless narrowband UV photodetection is demonstrated in bulk single crystals of a newly developed halide perovskite ferroelectric, 2FEAEAPbCl (2FEEPC), which exhibits a wide bandgap of 3.

Ultra-broadband photodetectors (UB-PDs) are essential in medical applications, public safety monitoring, and various other fields. However, developing UB-PDs covering multiple bands from ultraviolet to medium infrared remains a challenge due to material limitations. Here, a mixed-dimensional heterojunction composed of 2D WS/monodisperse hexagonal stacking (MHS) 3D PdTe particles on 3D Si is proposed, capable of detecting light from 365 to 9600 nm.

In this work, a planar structured GaN/CuI heterojunction ultraviolet photodetector (UVPD) with a self-powered manner was constructed by the spin-coating method. Both UVA and UVC waveband lights were precisely detected by this designed GaN/CuI PD. Irradiated upon 365 nm UVA light, our PD device performed decent self-powered photoresponse properties with a photo-to-dark current ratio (PDCR) of 1.
