Self-powered ZnS Nanotubes/Ag Nanowires MSM UV Photodetector with High On/Off Ratio and Fast Response Speed

Abstract In this study, we design and demonstrate a novel type of self-powered UV photodetectors (PDs) using single-crystalline ZnS nanotubes (NTs) as the photodetecting layer and Ag nanowires (NWs) network as transparent electrodes. The self-powered UV PDs with asymmetric metal-semiconductor-metal...
