Abstract

Abstract : Although a variety of MoS2 ‐based photodetectors have been reported over the last few years, the controlled fabrication of large‐area photodetector array for photoimaging remains a major challenge due to the low yield and poor quality of MoS2 film. Herein, a high‐performance inkjet‐printed flexible photodetector array based on stacked MoS2 nanosheets is demonstrated for the first time. The 2H phase MoS2 nanosheets is obtained by intercalating quaternary ammonium cation into MoS2 bulk. The inkjet‐printed photodetector achieves excellent performance with a highest responsivity of 552.5 A W −1, detectivity of 1.19 × 10 12 Jones, and fast response and recovery time of 23 and 26 ms, respectively, at room temperature. Furthermore, a photodetector array with 85 pixels per inch is successfully constructed, and the letter of "T" is clearly recognized. These results indicate that electrochemical exfoliation coupled with inkjet printing has great prospect for application in high‐performance photodetector array. Besides, the electrochemical exfoliation is also successfully applied to obtain the ink of In2 Se3, black phosphorus (BP), and MoTe2 . It is believed that this work paves the way for various potential printable optoelectronics based on 2D materials. Abstract : Herein, electrochemical exfoliation is employed to obtain 2H phase MoS2 nanosheets, and then high‐performance photodetectors are fabricated by inkjet printing. The device achieves a highest responsivity ( R ) of 552.5 A W −1 and detectivity ( D *) of 1.19 × 10 12 Jones. Furthermore, a photodetector array with 85 pixels per inch is successfully constructed, and the letter of "T" is clearly recognized.
