Home > Press > Unlocking efficient light-energy conversion with stable coordination nanosheets: Scientists design a high-performance, self-powered, UV photodetector using 2D nanosheets that show record photocurrent stability under air exposure
Scientists from Japan and Taiwan designed a nanosheet material using iron and benzenehexathiol that made for a high-performance self-powered UV photodetector with a record current stability after 60 days of air exposure.

Abstract:
Converting light to electricity effectively has been one of the persistent goals of scientists in the field of optoelectronics. While improving the conversion efficiency is a challenge, several other requirements also need to be met. For instance, the material must conduct electricity well, have a short response time to changes in input (light intensity), and, most importantly, be stable under long-term exposure.
