Abstract

HgTe colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) are appealing candidates for infrared photodetection due to their facile tuning of infrared absorption, solution-processability and compatibility with silicon electronics for imaging. Traditional HgTe CQD synthesis suffers from CQD aggregation or air-sensitive tellurium (Te) precursor. Here, monodisperse HgTe CQDs with sharp excitonic absorption edge and tunable response from 1.7 μm to 6.3 μm are synthesized via a ligand-engineered approach. Thanks to their accessible CQD surface, both the carrier concentration and polarity can be readily tuned by ligand-induced surface gating. The transport property studies present a record electron mobility up to 18 cm² V^-1 s^-1. Short wave infrared photodetectors achieve a high room-temperature detectivity beyond 10¹¹ Jones at the wavelength of 1550 nm. The synthesis strategy is expected to enrich the applications of HgTe CQDs and promote the fast development of CQD infrared detection technology.
