Abstract

Abstract: Coupling two-dimensional (2D) materials with plasmonic nanoparticles (NPs) holds great potential for enhancing the photodetection performance in 2D photodetectors. However, there are limitations in the detection spectral range and response speed of plasmonic 2D photodetectors based on transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) like MoS2. We have developed a fast and broadband MoS₂ photodetector (denoted as MoS₂/WO_3-_x) by coupling semi-metal sub-stoichiometric WO₃_-x NPs beneath, in contrast to traditional WO₃_-x/MoS₂ photodetectors with the opposite positions of MoS₂ and WO₃_-x NPs. The photodetection performance is 10 times higher than the WO₃_-x/MoS₂ structure, and 100 times higher than the pristine MoS₂ device, broadening the spectrum to near-infrared (NIR), achieving a maximum responsivity and detectivity that can reach 1.8 × 10⁴ A W^-1, 4.62 × 10¹³ Jones, respectively, under 940 nm illumination. The response speed exceeds the state-of-the-art MoS₂ photodetectors based on composite structures, unprecedentedly reaching the order of tens of microseconds. Theoretical understanding of WO₃_-x NPs as well as light interaction with the MoS₂ layer reveal that the exceptional photoelectric performance can be attributed to the synergistic effect of both the semimetal nature of the underneath WO₃_-x NPs and the intact nature of the top MoS₂ layer. The mechanism enhances optical absorption, expands the spectral range, and simultaneously speeds up optoelectronic effects.

Key words: WO_3-_x nanoparticles, Plasmonic, MoS₂/WO_3-_x photodetector, Fast broadband
