However, the controlled growth of high-quality 2D ternary materials with good chemical stoichiometry remains challenging, which severely impedes their further development and future device applications. Herein, we synthesize ternary Bi_(2)Te_(2)Se(BTS) flakes with a thickness down to 4 nm and a lateral dimension about 60 μm by an atmospheric-pressure solid source thermal evaporation method on a mica substrate. The phonon vibration and electrical transportation of 2D BTS are respectively investigated by temperature-dependent Raman spectrum and conductivity measurements. Furthermore, the photodetector based on 2D BTS exhibits excellent performance with a high light on/off ratio of 1300(365 nm), a wide spectral response range from 365 to 980 nm, and an ultra-fast response speed up to 2 μs. In addition, its electrical and photoelectric properties can be modulated by the gate voltage, offering an improved infrared responsivity to 2.74 A W^(-1) and an on/off ratio of 2266 under 980 nm. This work introduces an effective approach to obtain 2D BTS flakes and demonstrates their excellent prospects in optoelectronics.展开更多

Scanning electron microscope and transmission electron microscope images showed the regular structure of TiO2 NTA, where quantum-sized CdS （diameter 〈10nm） deposited on both the inside and outside of TiO2 nanotube wall. Fabrication conditions including immersing cycles, calcination temperature and drying process were well optimized, and the Q-CdS-TiO2 NTA and its photoelectrochemical （PEC） properties were characterized by X-ray fluorescence spectrometer, UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectra and photovoltage. Distinct increases in visible light absorption and photocurrent were observed as the immersing cycle was increased from 5 to 20 times. The additional drying process accelerated the CdS crystal growth rate, and thus, the fabrication time could be shortened accordingly. Calcination temperature influenced the PEC property of Q-CdS-TiO2 NTA deeply, and the optimized calcination temperature was found as 500 ℃. As the Q-CdS-TiO2 NTA was fabricated under such condition, the visible photocurrent density increased to 2.8 mA/cm and the photovoltage between 350 and 480 nm was enhanced by 2.33 times than that without calcination. This study is expected to optimize Q-CdS-TiO2 NTA fabrication conditions for the purpose of improving its PEC performance.展开更多
