Strain-Modulated Photoelectric Responses from a Flexible α-In₂Se₃/3R MoS₂ Heterojunction.

ABSTRACT: Semiconducting piezoelectric α-In₂Se₃ and 3R MoS₂ have attracted tremendous attention due to their unique electronic properties. Artificial van der Waals (vdWs) heterostructures constructed with α-In₂Se₃ and 3R MoS₂ flakes have shown promising applications in optoelectronics and photocatalysis. Here, we present the first flexible α-In₂Se₃/3R MoS₂ vdWs p-n heterojunction devices for photodetection from the visible to near infrared region. These heterojunction devices exhibit an ultrahigh photoresponsivity of 2.9 × 10³ A W^-1 and a substantial specific detectivity of 6.2 × 10¹⁰ Jones under a compressive strain of - 0.26%. The photocurrent can be increased by 64%
