Abstract:
Bismuth oxyselenide has recently gained tremendous attention as a promising 2D material for next-generation electronic and optoelectronic devices due to its ultrahigh mobility, moderate bandgap, exceptional environmental stability, and presence of high-dielectric constant native oxide. In this study, we have synthesized single-crystalline nanosheets of Bismuth oxyselenide with thicknesses measuring below ten nanometers on Fluorophlogopite mica using an atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition system. We transferred as-grown samples to different substrates using a non-corrosive nail polish-assisted dry transfer method. Back-gated Bi2O2Se field effect transistors showed decent field effect mobility of 100 cm2 V−1s−1. The optoelectronic property study revealed an ultrahigh responsivity of 1.16 × 106 A W−1 and a specific detectivity of 2.55 × 1013 Jones. The samples also exhibited broadband photoresponse and gate-tunable photoresponse time. These results suggest that Bi2O2Se is an excellent candidate for future high-performance optoelectronic device applications.
