Deep-ultraviolet photodetectors have promising applications in both civil and military fields, due to the advantage of effective light response without an external power supply. In this work, we proposed a self-powered deep-ultraviolet photodetector based on a p-CsCuI/n-ZnGaO heterojunction fabricated by a pulsed laser deposition technique. Under 260 nm illumination and 0 V bias, the photodetector exhibited a maximum responsivity and specific detectivity of 1.2 mA/W and 1.65 × 10 Jones, respectively. The response and recovery times were 410 ms and 114 ms, respectively. The photodetector exhibited self-powered characteristics and detection capabilities within the wavelength range from 255 to 330 nm, demonstrating its potential for advancing self-powered deep-ultraviolet photodetector applications.

Single-pixel imaging is emerging as a promising alternative to traditional focal plane array technologies, offering advantages in compactness and cost-effectiveness. However, the lack of solar-blind photodetectors combining fast-response and high-sensitivity has constrained their application in the deep ultraviolet spectrum. This work introduces a self-powered solar-blind photodetector based on a heterostructure comprising a GaO photosensitive layer, an AlN barrier layer, and an N-polar AlGaN:Si contact layer.

The reasonable construction of a heterojunction is promising for wide bandgap semiconductors in smart self-powered deep ultraviolet (DUV) photodetection. In this work, PbI nanosheet (NS) is prepared directly on the wide bandgap semiconductor of a SiC wafer for the success construction of a type-II heterojunction by a simple drop-casting method. Benefiting from the built-in electric field at the heterojunction interface, the as-fabricated SiC type-II heterojunction photodetector exhibits enhanced DUV photoresponse compared to the SiC wafer and PbI NS photodetectors.
