Description
UV photodetector has diverse applications ranging from advanced communications to leak detection. UV photodetectors play a crucial role in harnessing the power of UV light for various functions. The demand for more compact, precise, portable, and energy-efficient photodetectors has prompted the exploration of nanotechnology and nanofabrication techniques.
This study focuses on developing a TiO2-based photodetector known for its ability to absorb UV light due to its 3.2 eV bandgap. By monitoring changes in resistance based on UV light intensity, the photodetector's functionality was enhanced by integrating it with a triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG). The TENG, activated through tapping actions between Kapton and FTO materials, provided the necessary power for the photodetector.
Through rigorous testing, this research showcases the potential and reliability of the TiO2 photodetector when coupled with TENG technology. The self-powering capabilities exhibited in this study position the integrated system as a promising energy source for sensor applications, offering a new frontier in sustainable and autonomous sensing technologies.
