Abstract
The ideal bulk-heterojunction for high-performance organic photodetectors prefers a morphology with a vertically gradient component to suppress the leaking current. Here, we demonstrate an all-polymer photodetector with a segregated bulk-heterojunction active layer. This all-polymer photodetector exhibits a dramatically reduced dark current density because of its built-in charge blocking layer, with a responsivity of 0.25 A W-1 at a wavelength of approximately 600 nm and specific detectivity of 5.68 × 1012 cm Hz1/2 W-1 as calculated from the noise spectra at 1 kHz. To our knowledge, this is among the best performances reported for photodetectors based on both polymeric donor and acceptor in the photoactive layer. These findings present a facile approach to improving the specific detectivity of polymer photodetectors via a layer-by-layer solution process.
