Solution-processed colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) are promising candidates for broadband photodetectors from visible light to shortwave infrared (SWIR). However, large-size PbS CQDs sensitive to longer SWIR are mainly exposed with nonpolar (100) facets on the surface, which lack robust passivation strategies. Herein, an innovative passivation strategy that employs planar cation, is introduced to enable face-to-face coupling on (100) facets and strengthen halide passivation on (111) facets. The defect density of CQDs film (E ≈ 0.74 eV) is reduced from 2.74 × 10 to 1.04 × 10 cm, coupled with 0.1 eV reduction in the activation energy of defects. The resultant CQDs photodiodes exhibit a low dark current density of 14 nA cm with a high external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 62%, achieving a linear dynamic range of 98 dB, a -3dB bandwidth of 103 kHz and a detectivity of 4.7 × 10 Jones. The comprehensive performance of the CQDs photodiodes outperforms previously reported CQDs photodiodes operating at >1.6 µm. By monolithically integrated with thin-film transistor (TFT) readout circuit, the broadband CQDs imager covering 0.35-1.8 µm realizes the functions including silicon wafer perspectivity and material discrimination, showing its potential for wide range of applications.

The performance of PbSe colloidal quantum dot (CQD) based photodiodes with responses beyond 2000 nm was far from satisfactory and has rarely been reported. The difficulty in obtaining chemically stable large-sized PbSe CQDs was the main reason. In this work, chloride ions in weak acidic solvent were introduced to in-situ etch out the Se atoms on the surfaces of PbSe CQDs and formed a -Pb-Cl protection layer.

Extended shortwave infrared (eSWIR) photodetectors that employ solution-processable semiconductors have attracted attention for use in applications such as ranging, night vision, and gas detection. Colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) are promising materials with facile bandgap tunability across the visible-to-mid-infrared wavelengths. However, toxic elements, such as Hg and Pb, and the slow response time of CQD-based IR photodetectors, limit their commercial viability.

Event-based imaging represents a new paradigm in visual information processing that addresses the speed and energy efficiency shortcomings inherently present in the current complementary metal oxide semiconductor-based machine vision. Realizing such imaging systems has previously been sought using very large-scale integration technologies that have complex circuitries consisting of many photodiodes, differential amplifiers, capacitors, and resistors. Here, we demonstrate that event-driven sensing can be achieved using a simple one-resistor, one-capacitor (1R1C) circuit, where the capacitor is modified with colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) to have a photoresponse.

Thanks to their tunable infrared absorption, solution processability, and low fabrication costs, HgTe colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) are promising for optoelectronic devices. Despite advancements in device design, their potential for imaging applications remains underexplored. For integration with Si-based readout integrated circuits (ROICs), top illumination is necessary for simultaneous light absorption and signal acquisition.
