He also contributed 32 granted/pending patents and 8 book chapters.
ABSTRACT：Sensing from the ultraviolet (UV)-visible to IR is critical to environmental monitoring and remote sensing, fibre-optic communication, day and night-time surveillance, and emerging medical imaging modalities. A “breakthrough” technology would be enabled by a new class of photodetector that do not require cooling to obtain high detectivity; photodetectors which are fabricated by solution-processing to enable low-cost multi-color, high quantum efficiency, high sensitivity and high speed response over the broad spectral range. The availability of such photodetector for use at room temperature would offer new and important applications. In this presentation, I will present how we develop ultrasensitive solution-processed infrared polymer photodetectors. In the first part, I would like to present why is the polymer photodetectors, how to develop solution-processed polymer photodetectors with high external quantum efficiency and high detectivity. In the second part, infrared polymer photodetectors with an inverted device structure will be presented. In the last, I will share how to develop solution-processed ultrasensitive infrared hybrid polymer photodetectors with spectral response from 300 nm to 2000 nm. We conclude that high detectivity, wide spectral range, high photoresponsivity and detectivity of polymer photodetectors are compatible to or even better than the photodetectors fabricated from any inorganic materials.
