Lakho, Elisabetta Fanizza, Suraj K. Patel, Giuseppe Valerio Bianco, Marinella Striccoli, Chiara Ingrosso, Oscar Vazquez-Mena, M. Lucia Curri

“…The photoresponse of two hybrid devices based on three layers of Cu₂₋_xS NCs, deposited in one case on SLG/Cu_2−xS/TBAI (“TBAI-only” device) and in the other on SLG/Cu_2−xS/DMBT (“DMBT + TBAI” device), with a TBAI treatment applied, for both, after each layer deposition, has been evaluated under 450 nm laser diode illumination. The results indicate that the TBAI-only device exhibited a significant increase in photocurrent (4 μA), with high responsivity (40 mA/W) and fast response times (<1 s), while the DMBT + TBAI device had lower photocurrent (0.2 μA) and responsivity (2.4 μA), despite similar response speeds. …”
