Ultrasensitive photodetectors exploiting electrostatic trapping and percolation transport

Photodetector sensitivity is limited by charge carrier recombination. Here, Zhang et al. use nanocrystal ligand engineering and sintering to provide separate pathways for electron and holes, and to fabricate photodetectors with a high detectivity, especially promising for applications in low-light i...
