Hybrid Material is an Efficient Photodetector

Digital cameras as well as many other electronic devices need light-sensitive sensors. In order to meet increasing demand for optoelectronic components of this kind, industry is searching for new semiconductor materials that cover a broad range of wavelengths and are inexpensive. A hybrid material demonstrated that this metal-organic framework (MOF) can be used as a broadband photodetector. As it does not contain any cost-intensive raw materials, it can be produced inexpensively in bulk.
