Self-Driven Photo-Polarized Water Molecule-Triggered Graphene-Based Photodetector

View through CrossRef
Flowing water can be used as an energy source for generators, providing a major part of the energy for daily life. However, water is rarely used for information or electronic devices. Herein, we present the feasibility of a polarized liquid-triggered photodetector in which polarized water is sandwiched between graphene and a semiconductor. Due to the polarization and depolarization processes of water molecules driven by photogenerated carriers, a photo-sensitive current can be repeatedly produced, resulting in a high-performance photodetector. The response wavelength of the photodetector can be fine-tuned as a result of the free choice of semiconductors as there is no requirement of lattice match between graphene and the semiconductors. Under zero voltage bias, the responsivity and specific detectivity of Gr/NaCl (0.5 M)W/N-GaN reach values of 130.7 mA/W and 2.3 × 10 9 Jones under 350 nm illumination, respectively. Meanwhile, using a polar liquid photodetector can successfully read the photoplethysmography signals to produce accurate oxygen blood saturation and heart rate. Compared with the commercial pulse oximetry sensor, the average errors of oxygen saturation and heart rate in the designed photoplethysmography sensor are ~1.9% and ~2.1%, respectively. This study reveals that water can be used as a high-performance photodetector in informative industries.
