Significant Enhancement of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotube Based Infrared Photodetector Using PbS Quantum Dots

We show that the performance of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) based infrared photodetector can be greatly enhanced through the combination with colloidal PbS quantum dots (QDs). To improve the photo-induced charge transport efficiency and the carrier mobility, the colloidal PbS QDs are modified by short-chain inorganic. Under illumination, the light-induced electron-hole pairs can be eff...
