Thus, improving the performance and reducing the material costs of photodetectors would act as a motivation toward the future advancement of those applications. This study introduces the development of a nanohybrid of zinc oxide nanorods (ZnONRs) and multi-shaped silver nanoparticles MAgNPs through a simple solution process; in which ZnONRs are hybridized with MAgNPs to enable visible absorption through the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) effect. The photodetector based on ZnONRs/MAgNPs is responsive to visible light with representative wavelengths of 395, 464, 532 and 640 nm, and it exhibits high responsivity (<i>R</i>), photoconductive gain (<i>G</i>) and RSC advancesDeveloping low-cost nanohybrids of ZnO nanorods and multi-shaped silver nanoparticles for broadband photodetectors.PMC10354500B2023-18 14VINIF.2022.ThS.055Tran CKNguyen NMDuy LTDuy Huynh HNTran AVThu Nguyen LNMan Nguyen BGDoan NGPham KNLuong HNDang VQNgo DAfalseDeveloping low-cost nanohybrids of ZnO nanorods and multi-shaped silver nanoparticles for broadband photodetectors.Photodetectors are essential elements for various applications like fiber optic communication systems, biomedical imaging, and so on.
