Researchers Create Inexpensive Broad Spectrum Photodetector

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
DRESDEN, Germany, April 13, 2020 — Researchers from Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) have developed a low-cost broadband photodetector that uses a metal-organic framework (MOF). As it does not contain any cost-intensive raw materials, it can be produced inexpensively in bulk. MOFs have become a coveted material system over the past 20 years for their utility in medicine due to their highly porous nature, which allows use for catalysis or to slowly release drugs in the human body. “The metal-organic framework compound developed at TU Dresden comprises an organic material integrated with iron...Read full article

    photodetector
    A photodetector, also known as a photosensor or photodiode, is a device that detects and converts light into an electrical signal. Photodetectors are widely used in various applications, ranging from simple light sensing to more complex tasks such as imaging and communication. Key features and principles of photodetectors include: Light sensing: The primary function of a photodetector is to sense or detect light. When photons (particles of light) strike the active area of the photodetector,...
