An Antimony Selenide Molecular Ink for Flexible Broadband Photodetectors.

ABSTRACT: The need for low-cost high-performance broadband photon detection with sensitivity in the near infrared (NIR) has driven interest in new materials that combine high absorption with traditional electronic infrastructure (CMOS) compatibility. Here, we demonstrate a facile, low-cost and scalable, catalyst-free one-step solution-processed approach to grow one-dimensional Sb2Se3 nanostructures directly on flexible substrates for high-performance NIR photodetectors. Structural characterization and compositional analyses reveal high-quality single-crystalline material with orthorhombic crystal structure and a near-stoichiometric Sb/Se atomic ratio. We measure a direct band gap of 1.12 eV, which is consistent with predictions from theoretical simulations, indicating strong NIR potential. The fabri
