Two-dimensional wide-bandgap GeSe₂ vertical ultraviolet photodetectors with high responsivity and ultrafast response speed.

ABSTRACT: Germanium selenide (GeSe₂), as a typical member of 2D wide bandgap semiconductors (WBSs), shows great potential in ultraviolet (UV) optoelectronics due to its excellent flexibility, superior environmental stability, competitive UV absorption coefficient, and significant spectral selectivity. However, the GeSe₂-based UV photodetector suffers from high operation voltages and low photocurrent, which prevents its practical imaging applications. In this work, we report an elevated photocurrent generation in a vertical stacking graphene/GeSe₂/graphene heterostructure with low operation voltage and low power consumption. Efficient collection of photoexcited carriers in GeSe₂ through graphene electrodes results in outstanding UV detection properties, including a pronounced responsivity of 37.1 A W^-1, a specific detectivity of 8.83 × 10¹¹ Jones, and an ultrahigh on/off ratio (∼10⁵) at 355 nm. In addition, building a Schottky barrier between GeSe₂ and graphene and reducing the channel length can increase the photoresponse speed to ∼300 μs. These accomplishments set the stage for future optoelectronic applications of vertical 2D WBS heterostructure UV photodetectors.

Project description:The synthesis and bottom-up assembly of nanocellulose by microbes offers unique advantages to tune and meet key design criteria—rapid renewability, low toxicity, scalability, performance, and degradability—for multi-functional, circular economy textiles. However, development of green processing methods that meet these criteria remains a major research challenge. Here, we harness microbial biofabrication of nanocellulose and draw inspiration from ancient textile techniques to engineer sustainable biotextiles with a circular life cycle. The unique molecular self-organization of microbial nanocellulose (MC) combined with bio-phosphorylation with a lecithin treatment yields a compostable material with superior mechanical and flame-retardant properties. Specifically, treatment of MC with a lecithin-phosphocholine emulsion makes sites available to modulate cellulose cross-linking through hydroxyl, phosphate and methylene groups, increasing the interaction between cellulose chains. The resultant bioleather exhibits enhanced tensile strength and high ductility. Bio-phosphorylation with lecithin also redirects the combustion pathway from levoglucosan production towards the formation of foaming char as an insulating oxygen barrier, for outstanding flame retardance. Controlled color modulation is demonstrated with natural dyes. Life cycle impact assessment reveals that MC bioleather has up to an order of magnitude lower carbon footprint than conventional textiles, and a thousandfold reduction in the carcinogenic impact of leather production. Eliminating the use of hazardous substances, these high performance materials disrupt linear production models and strategically eliminate its toxicity and negative climate impacts, with widespread application in fashion, interiors and construction. Importantly, the biotextile approach developed in this study demonstrates the potential of biofabrication coupled with green chemistry for a circular materials economy. Harnessing microbial biofabrication coupled to a protocol inspired by indigenous textile processes, we engineer high-performance biotextiles with a sustainable circular life cycle, including the plant and mineral dyed bioleather sneakers shown.
