Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 1Toward Sustainable Optoelectronics: Solution-Processed Quantum Dot Photodetector Fabrication Using a Surgical Blade(SPIE - Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers, 2023-02-13) Savas, Muzeyyen; Yazici, Ahmet Faruk; Arslan, Aysenur; Mutluguen, Evren; Erdem, Talha; Yazlcl, Ahmet Faruk; Mutlugün, EvrenFabrication of optoelectronic devices relies on expensive, energy-consuming conventional tools including chemical vapor deposition, lithography, and metal evaporation. Furthermore, the films used in these devices are usually deposited at elevated temperatures (> 300 degrees C) and under high vacuum, which necessitate further restrictions on the device fabrication. Developing an alternative technology would contribute to the efforts on achieving a sustainable optoelectronics technology. Keeping this in our focus, here we present a simple technique to fabricate visible photodetectors (PDs). These fully solution-processed and transparent metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) PDs employ silver nanowires (Ag NW) as the transparent electrodes replacing the indium-tin-oxide (ITO) commonly used in optoelectronic devices. By repeatedly spin coating Ag NWs on a glass substrate followed by the coating of zinc oxide nanoparticles, we obtained a highly conductive transparent electrode reaching a sheet resistance of 95 omega/? as measured by the four-probe method. Optical spectroscopy revealed that the transmittance of the Ag NW-ZnO films was 84% at 450 nm while the transmittance of the ITO films was 90% at the same wavelength. Following the formation of the conductive film, we scratched it using a heated surgical blade to open a gap. The scanning electron microscope images indicate that a gap of similar to 30 mu m is opened forming an insulating line. As the active layer, we drop-casted red-emitting CdSe/ZnS core-shell quantum dots (QDs) onto this gap to form a MSM PD. These visible QD-based PDs exhibited responsivities and detectivities up to 8.5 mA/W and 0.95 x 109 Jones, respectively at a bias voltage of 5 V and wavelength of 650 nm. These proof-of-concept PDs show that the environmentally friendly, low-cost, and energy-saving technique presented here can be an alternative to conventional, high-cost, and energy-hungry techniques while fabricating photoconductive devices.Article Citation - WoS: 24Citation - Scopus: 26Preparation of Highly Emissive and Reproducible Cu-In-S/ZnS Core/Shell Quantum Dots With a Mid-Gap Emission Character(Elsevier Science SA, 2020-05) Jawhar, Nawzad Nadhim; Soheyli, Ehsan; Yazici, Ahmet Faruk; Mutlugun, Evren; Sahraei, RezaCopper indium sulfide (CIS) quantum dots (QDs) are one of the newest types of luminescent semiconductors with low-toxicity and earth-abundant features. The present work reports the successful aqueous synthesis of CIS/ZnS core/shell QDs using dual-stabilizing agents of N-acetyl-L-cysteine and trisodium citrate. Off-stoichiometric QDs with In-rich compositions were found to be very small and highly emissive after coating by a shell of wide bandgap ZnS. The effect of various experimental parameters was evaluated to achieve highly reproducible QDs with bright reddish emission. Results showed a significant contribution of mid-gap defect states in the recombination processes (based on the gradual increase in absorbance recorded for samples, relatively high Urbach energy, large Stokes shift, large FWHM value in PL spectra, as well as the long-lived PL decay time). In addition, the chemical stability of samples was investigated using highly oxidant H2O2 agent and results demonstrate their superior stability. The combination of low-toxicity, intense and stable emission, along with synthetic advantages demonstrates that the present aqueous-soluble and emissive QDs can be considered as an excellent bio-photonic structure suitable for different fields of biological imaging and diagnostics.
