Abstract
- It is challenging to realize a visible-blind infrared photodetector as the materials that absorb infrared light also absorb visible light. Here, we report the synthesis of IrP <subscript>2</subscript> nanoparticle-embedded few-layer graphene by one-step solid-state pyrolysis and its application in visible-blind infrared sensing. A linear photodetector device was fabricated by drop casting IrP <subscript>2</subscript> nanoparticle-embedded few-layer graphene onto a flexible PET substrate with two gold electrodes separated by ∼16 μm. The photoconductive gain was found to be as high as ∼145% with response and decay times of ∼0.4 and ∼2.8 s, respectively, under 1550 nm irradiation of 800 mW cm <superscript>-2</superscript> . The room-temperature responsivity was ∼1.81 A W <superscript>-1</superscript> at 80 mW cm <superscript>-2</superscript> and ∼0.54 A W <superscript>-1</superscript> at a high incident power of ∼2200 mW cm <superscript>-2</superscript> under a bias of 1 V. Interestingly, the device showed response even in the long-wavelength infrared region, but no response was found under visible light. The embedded IrP <subscript>2</subscript> nanoparticles act as trap centers inducing photogating in the device, and the average trap state energy was estimated to be ∼16.5 ± 1.5 meV from the temperature-dependent photocurrent studies. The device was found to be immune to air exposure and bending, suggestive of use a a wearable sensor.
