Photodetectors based on inorganic semiconductors demonstrate superior responsivity, but their high thermal budget fabrication process is a serious impediment for emerging applications. Hybrid photodetectors based on organic-inorganic heterojunctions synergistically offer the solution-processability and tunability of organic semiconductors, along with the superior absorption coefficient and transport properties of inorganic materials. In this work, a broadband photodetector based on a bulk-heterojunction of hybrid organic-PEDOT:PSS/inorganic-SnSe2 and a subsequent vertical junction on flexible ITO-coated-PET is demonstrated. SnSe2 nanoflakes, synthesized via a facile hydrothermal method, exhibit absorption in both the visible and NIR spectra, and are made into a bulk heterojunction (BHJ) with PEDOT:PSS. The ITO layer exhibits absorption in the UV spectra, onto which the SnSe2-PEDOT:PSS bulk-heterojunction composite is deposited to form a vertical junction. The broadband photodetector exhibits quick response times of 16 ms, 221 ms and 274 ms and superior responsivities of 0.72 A W-1, 0.67 A W-1 and 0.69 A W-1 in the UV, Vis and NIR spectra, respectively. This superior responsivity of the photodetector is related to the enhanced interfacial area between SnSe2-PEDOT:PSS in the bulk-heterojunction, which leads to efficient electron-hole pair separation. Furthermore, the device is subjected to multiple bending cycles (∼3000) and minimal deviation in responsivity is observed. The facile and low-cost approach demonstrated in this work finds potential applications in novel flexible opto-electronic devices. This journal is © the Partner Organisations.
