Heterojunction integrated by two-dimensional/three-dimensional materials has shown great potential applications in optoelectronic devices because of its fast response speed, high specific detectivity and broad spectral response. In this work, the vertical n-Si/p-GaTe heterojunction has been designed and fabricated, which shows a high responsivity up to 5.73 A W−1 and a fast response time of 20 μs at zero bias benifitting from the high efficiency of light absorption, internal photocurrent gain and strong built-in electrical field. A specific detectivity of 1012 Jones and a broad spectral response ranging from 300 to 1100 nm can also be achieved. This work provides an alternative strategy for high-performance self-powered optoelectronic devices.

The development of efficient photocatalysts for solar-driven hydrogen production is crucial for addressing energy and environmental challenges. Herein, a full-spectrum responsive “dual-engine” photocatalytic system based on a multifunctional cocatalyst featuring electrons extraction, photothermal heating effect and abundant active sites was successfully designed. In this system, hierarchical NiCo 2 S 4 (NCS)/defective ZnCdS (ZCS-Vs) composite photocatalysts were synthesized through a simple physical mixing method with hierarchical NCS modified ZCS-Vs nanoparticles. Owing to the introduction of black hierarchical NCS, these composite photocatalysts show a wide light absorption range from 300 to 1200 nm due to the introduction of black hierarchical NCS. Under broad-spectrum illumination, the optimized photocatalyst delivered a maximum H 2 production rate of 22.19 mmol·g −1 ·h −1 and an apparent quantum yield of 6.29 % at 420 nm, corresponding to roughly a 42-fold improvement over pure ZCS-Vs. This outstanding H 2 evolution performance originates from three key factors. First, the metallic nature and high work function of NCS enable the formation of a Schottky junction with ZCS-Vs, which efficiently extracts photogenerated electrons from ZCS-Vs for the reduction of H + ions. Second, under photoexcitation, NCS exhibits a strong localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) effect, leading to a rapid increase in local temperature on the catalyst surface. This localized heating further elevates the overall reaction solution temperature, thereby reducing the energy barrier for photocatalytic H 2 evolution. Third, 3D hierarchical structure of NCS not only inhibits nanoparticle aggregation and provides abundant active sites, but also enhances light harvesting through internal scattering, thereby maximizing both charge separation and photothermal efficiency. Consequently, this “dual-engine” photocatalytic system provides a feasible pathway for designing photothermal-assisted composite photocatalysts to enhance photocatalytic H 2 evolution efficiency.

Effective and suitable utilization of solar energy was achieved using a full-spectrum-response photocatalyst AgBr/Cs x WO 3 , applied in the photocatalytic and photochromic field. Benefitting from near-infrared (NIR) absorption ability of Cs x WO 3 , AgBr/Cs x WO 3 exhibits enhanced visible-near-infrared (Vis-NIR) driven photocatalytic activity. Based on X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), photoluminescence spectra (PL), and the photoelectrochemical analysis, AgBr and Cs x WO 3 formed a Z-scheme system at the interface to efficiently separate and transfer photo-induced electrons at a fast rate. The quenching experiment and the electron spin resonance (ESR) tests indicated that the photocatalytic reaction is activated by the production of superoxide radicals. Furthermore, the photochromic analysis to different light exhibits the AgBr/Cs x WO 3 heterostructure is stable under visible light with negligible photodeposition of AgBr, and has excellent double photochromic activity with visible-shielding effect of AgBr to Ag 0 and infrared-blocking effect of Cs x WO 3 under ultraviolet light. This research provides new insights into the manufacture of energy-efficient and environmentally friendly materials that provide excellent performance in both thermal insulation and decontamination.

Both flat-spectrum responsivity and high external quantum efficiency (EQE) of bulk heterojunction organic photodetectors (BHJ OPDs) are greatly in demand and still challenging to realize from the ultraviolet (UV) to near-infrared (NIR) regions. In this article, conjugated polymer donor poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) and PTB7-Th are blended with a low band gap nonfullerene acceptor (NFA) IEICO-4F to form a ternary BHJ active layer, thereby forming a BHJ OPD with a broadband responsivity spectrum from UV to visible light to NIR region (200–1100 nm). Under 6 V voltage and in the range from 280 to 810 nm, the ternary BHJ OPD shows a relatively flat responsivity spectrum, and the highest responsivity is 1.348 A/W, which is 1.34 times that of the binary BHJ OPD. Specifically, the ternary BHJ OPD achieved the highest EQE at 285 nm and as high as 449.31%. In addition, the ternary OPD detectivity (D*) is 2.65 times that of the binary BHJ OPD. Therefore, ternary BHJ as an active layer provides an effective method to develop BHJ OPDs with an expanded response range, higher responsivity, improved EQE, and broadband spectrum with flat spectral response from the UV to NIR region.

In this study, NaGdF 4 :Yb 3+ , Er 3+ @NaGdF 4 :Eu 3+ (NGEY@NGE) core-shell rare earth nanoparticles are prepared by a simple hydrothermal method . After testing, the emission peaks are observed at 415, 525, 540 and 660 nm with an excitation light of 980 nm due to the up-conversion luminescence from rare-earth nanoparticles . Under light excitation at 395 nm, the rare-earth nanoparticles undergo down-conversion luminescence with emission peaks at 590, 610 and 695 nm. The resulting nanoparticles are introduced into the TiO 2 mesoporous layer of hole-conductor-free perovskite solar cells (PSCs) based on carbon counter electrodes to broaden the spectral response of the cells from the visible range to the near-infrared and near-ultraviolet regions, which can guarantee a high light absorption efficiency and corresponding accelerated generation of electron-hole pairs. The results suggest that the mixing of NGEY@NGE nanoparticles into mesoporous TiO 2 layer improves the power conversion efficiency of PSCs to 14.21%, which is 10.6% higher than that of the control cells, which can pave an effective way to improve the performance of PSCs with a broadened response range.
