Infrared Photodetectors Based on Reduced Graphene Oxide and Graphene Nanoribbons

Abstract
The use of reduced graphene oxide (RGO) and graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) as infrared photodetectors is explored, based on recent results dealing with solar cells, light‐emitting devices, photodetectors, and ultrafast lasers. IR detection is demonstrated by both RGO and GNRs (see image) in terms of the time‐resolved photocurrent and photoresponse. The responsivity of the detectors and their functioning are presented.
