RESUMO
The integration of 2D materials with other dimensional materials opens up rich possibilities for both fundamental physics and exotic nanodevices. However, current mixed-dimensional heterostructures often suffer from interfacial contact issues and environment-induced degradation, which severely limits their performance in electronics/optoelectronics. Herein, we demonstrate a novel BN-encapsulated CuO/MoS2 2D-1D van der Waals heterostructure photodetector with an ultrahigh photoresponsivity which is 10-fold higher than its previous 2D-1D counterparts. The interfacial contact state and photodetection capabilities of 2D-1D heterojunctions are significantly improved via femtosecond laser irradiation induced MoS2 wrapping and contamination removal. These h-BN protected devices show highly sensitive, gate-tunable and robust photoelectronic properties. By controlling the gate and bias voltages, the device can achieve a photoresponsivity as high as 2500 A W-1 in the forward bias mode, or achieve a high detectivity of 6.5 × 1011 Jones and a typical rise time of 2.5 ms at reverse bias. Moreover, h-BN encapsulation effectively protects the mixed-dimensional photodetector from electrical depletion by gas molecules such as O2 and H2O during fs laser treatment or the operation process, thus greatly improving the stability and service life in harsh environments. This work provides a new way for the further development of high performance, low cost, and robust mixed-dimensional heterostructure photodetectors by femtosecond laser contact engineering.
