In this study, ultraviolet detectors based on NaTaO3/TiO2 were fabricated with enhanced detection performance towards solar-blind (200–280 nm) light. A TiO2 seed layer was introduced and served as a buffer layer between the fluorine tin oxide (FTO)-coated glass substrate and the TiO2 film, which increased the adhesion between them. The periodic stability and photoelectric characteristics of the detectors were studied and analyzed. The detectors showed a high performance when illuminated by 265 nm and 254 nm UV light. At −15 V bias, the dark current of the detector was only 70 pA. Under the bias of −15 V and the illumination of 254 nm, the maximum photo-to-dark current ratio reached 20, and the response time was less than 300 ms. Moreover, the detector exhibited a fast response time and remained very stable after numerous testing cycles. These results demonstrate the potential application of NaTaO3/TiO2 composites in UV detection.

Conduction Pathway

MXene, a 2D material, is used as a filler to manufacture polymer electrolytes with high ionic conductivity because of its unique sheet shape, large specific surface area and high aspect ratio. Because MXene has numerous -OH groups on its surface, it can cause dehydration and condensation reactions with poly(4-styrenesulfonic acid) (PSSA) and consequently create pathways for the conduction of cations. The movement of Grotthuss-type hydrogen ions along the cation-conduction pathway is promoted and a high ionic conductivity can be obtained. In addition, when electrolytes composed of a conventional acid or metal salt alone is applied to an electrochromic device (ECD), it does not bring out fast response time, high coloration efficiency and transmittance contrast simultaneously. Therefore, dual-cation electrolytes are designed for high-performance ECDs. Bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)amine lithium salt (LiTFSI) was used as a source of lithium ions and PSSA crosslinked with MXene was used as a source of protons. Dual-Cation electrolytes crosslinked with MXene was applied to an indium tin oxide-free, all-solution-processable ECD. The effect of applying the electrolyte to the device was verified in terms of response time, coloration efficiency and transmittance contrast. The ECD with a size of 5 × 5 cm2 showed a high transmittance contrast of 66.7%, fast response time (8 s/15 s) and high coloration efficiency of 340.6 cm2/C.

In this thesis, Aluminum-Gallium-Zinc oxide (AGZO) photo thin film transistors (PTFTs) fabricated by the co-sputtered method are investigated. The transmittance and absorption show that AGZO is highly transparent across the visible light region, and the bandgap of AGZO can be tuned by varying the co-sputtering power. The AGZO TFT demonstrates high performance with a threshold voltage (VT) of 0.96 V, on/off current ratio of 1.01 × 107, and subthreshold swing (SS) of 0.33 V/dec. Besides, AGZO has potential for solar-blind applications because of its wide bandgap. The AGZO PTFT of this research can achieve a rejection ratio of 4.31 × 104 with proper sputtering power and a rising and falling time of 35.5 s and 51.5 s.

Abstract We report on a strong persistent photoconductivity (PPC) induced appearance of conductor‑like behaviour in zinc-tin-oxide (ZTO) photo-thinfilm transistors (TFT). The active ZTO channel layer was prepared by remote-plasma reactive sputtering and possesses an amorphous structure. Under sub-bandgap excitation of ZTO with UV light, the photocurrent reaches as high as ~10-4 A (a photo-to-dark current ratio of ~107) and remains close to this high value after switching off the light. During this time, the ZTO TFT exhibits strong PPC with long-lasting recovery time, which leads the appearance of the conductor‑like behaviour in ZTO semiconductor. In the present case, the conductivity changes over six orders of magnitude, from ~10-7 to 0.92 Ω-1cm-1. After UV exposure, the ZTO compound can potentially remain in the conducting state for up to a month. The underlying physics of the observed PPC effect is investigated by studying defects (deep-states and tail-states) by employing a discharge current analysis (DCA) technique. Findings from the DCA study reveal direct evidence for the involvement of sub-gap tail-states of the ZTO in the strong PPC, while deep-states contribute to mild PPC.
