ABSTRACT

Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), a typical 2D metal dichalcogenide (2DMD), has exhibited tremendous potential in optoelectronic device applications, especially in photodetection. However, due to the weak light absorption of planar mono‐/multilayers, limited cutoff wavelength edge, and lack of high‐quality junctions, most reported MoS2‐based photodetectors show undesirable performance. Here, a structurized 3D heterojunction of RGO–MoS2/pyramid Si is demonstrated via a simple solution‐processing method. Owing to the improved light absorption by the pyramid structure, the narrowed bandgap of the MoS2 by the imperfect crystallinity, and the enhanced charge separation/transportation by the inserted reduced graphene oxide (RGO), the assembled photodetector exhibits excellent performance in terms of a large responsivity of 21.8 A W−1, extremely high detectivity up to 3.8 × 1015 Jones (Jones = cm Hz1/2 W−1) and ultrabroad spectrum response ranging from 350 nm (ultraviolet) to 4.3 µm (midwave infrared). These device parameters represent the best results for MoS2‐based self‐driven photodetectors, and the detectivity value sets a new record for the 2DMD‐based photodetectors reported thus far. Prospectively, the design of novel 3D heterojunction can be extended to other 2DMDs, opening up the opportunities for a host of high‐performance optoelectronic devices.
