Interfacial Synergy in a Band‐Aligned Low‐Dimensional Heterojunction Toward Broadband Photodetection

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Monolithically integrating sensing and communication, a Ta2NiSe5/Sb2Te3 heterojunction achieves visible‐to‐near‐infrared photovoltaics with high‐speed terahertz photo‐thermoelectric detection at room temperature. By engineering a Type‐II van der Waals heterojunction, we overcome the intrinsic spectral limitations and disparate physical requirements of ...
