PbS quantum dot-graphene hybrid phototransistor

Ultrasensitive near-infrared phototransistors based on Lead sulfide (PbS) quantum dots (QDs)-graphene hybrid channel are fabricated by facile solution processing. The device combines the advantages of the large light absorbance of QDs high mobility of graphene. Under light illumination, the photogenerated carriers will transfer from QDs to graphene. As result, the phototransistor exhibits fast response speed with rise time of 1.4 ms and fall time of 1.3 ms at 36 mW/cm2 illumination of 808 nm wavelength, meaning the device can follow a fast switched optical signal. The responsivity (R), effective quantum efficiency (EQE) of the device are 6 A/W and 961% under 166mW/cm2 illumination, respectively. It expected that the PbS QDs–graphene hybrid devices are promising for fast response, low-cost and easy fabrication photoelectronics
