Abstract

We report on the significant generation of photocurrent (PC) from planar devices built from the drop casting of UV-laser-synthesized single-wall-carbon- nanotubes (SWCNTs) onto n-Si substrate. These SWCNTs/n-Si hybrid devices are shown to generate PC with external quantum efficiencies (EQE) reaching up to ∼10%. Their EQE has been optimized by controlling the amount of deposited SWCNTs, and is shown to be significantly enhanced over all the spectral range with a pronounced boost (up to ∼25× times) around 460 nm. The extension of the photoresponse of these devices toward UV correlates well with the absorbance of SWCNTs.
