Article Description

To achieve high detectivity of organic photodetectors (OPDs), we incorporated CdSe core/ZnS shell quantum dots (CdSe@ZnS) in devices consisting of ITO/tin oxide (SnO)/CdSe@ZnS/(poly(3-hexylthiophene-2,5-diyl)[P3HT]:PCBM)/MoO/Ag. We found that the CdSe@ZnS layer has a significant role in enhancing photocurrent and reducing leakage current simultaneously by transferring energy from the quantum dot buffer layer to the wide band gap of the ZnS shell. As a result, the device with the CdSe@ZnS quantum dot buffer layer shows enhancement of the photocurrent by 13.2%, reduction in the dark current from 8.28 µA/cm to 1.06 µA/cm, and detectivity of 1.43 × 10 Jones.
