title: Solid-state reaction synthesis of two-dimensional CuGaSe2 nanosheets for high performance photodetectors.
abstract: CuGaSe2 is an important non-layered I-III-VI2 compound with superior optical properties. In this work, monocrystal two-dimensional (2D) CuGaSe2 nanosheets were successfully synthesized via a simple solid-state reaction. The electronic and optoelectronic properties of photodetectors based on 2D CuGaSe2 nanosheets were investigated for the first time. 2D CuGaSe2 FETs present a typical p-type conductance behaviour, and photodetectors based on 2D CuGaSe2 show a sensitive response to the UV-visible spectrum. Under 490 nm light illumination, the responsivity and detectivity of photodetectors are as high as 103 AW(-1) and 8 × 10(11) Jones, respectively. Our results offer a new opportunity to use 2D CuGaSe2 nanosheets for future nano-optoelectronic devices.
