Abstract

Graphene is a two-dimensional carbon material which has been extensively studied for its applications in electronic devices due to its fast carrier kinetics. However, the weak photon absorption of graphene limits its application in photodetectors. Transition metal chalcogenides (TMDCs) quantum dots (QDs) have been used to modify the graphene properties since these QDs have abundant active edge sites and specific optoelectronic properties. In this study, we synthesized SnSe₂ QDs by the process of sonication and laser ablation. The average size of SnSe₂ QDs was characterized by the transmission electron microscopy (TEM). We demonstrated a sensitive ultraviolet (UV) photodetector based on graphene and SnSe₂ QDs on a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate. The responsibility of the device was up to 1830 AW^-1 when the irradiation density was 155.2 μW/cm² . The rising time τ𝒓 was 0.26 s. The device showed good stability even after bending 100 times. SnSe₂ QDs enhanced the light absorption and the creation of photocarriers which could extend the applications of graphene in flexible optoelectronic devices.
