One-step fabrication of ultralong zinc octaethylporphyrin nanowire network with high-performance photoresponse

Abstract

<p>An interconnected network of ultralong zinc octaethylporphyrin (ZnOEP) nanowires was fabricated <em>via</em> a solution process and directly used for constructing prototype photodetectors. The device exhibited high reproducibility and sensitivity with the largest photoswitching ratio over 10^{<font size="2">4</font>}. The facile fabrication process and the superior performance made ZnOEP an ideal candidate for photodetector applications.</p><br /
