ABSTRACT
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 alignedß-Ga2O3nanotube 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 ofß-Ga2O3NTs 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-1(32.04 mA W-1) and a high detectivity of 1.58 × 1011Jones (1.01 × 1011Jones) were achieved for theß-Ga2O3NTs 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.
