Why is it important?
First report about the photosensitive of planar-ultrathin silicon nanowire/nanowire hydrid quantum dot. The fast, stable, and high photoresponse of these hybrid nanostructures is promising towards the development of optoelectronic and photovoltaic devices
Perspectives
By sensitizing the SiNWs with CdTe QDs, an improvement in the photocurrent response under UV illumination of 59% was obtained, while preserving their performance in the visible light. This innovative approach is promising for the development of hybrid photoresponsive nanostructures in the areas of photovoltaics and optoelectronics.
