The invention discloses a width gradient
tungsten disulfide nanobelt, a preparation method thereof and an application of the width gradient
tungsten disulfide nanobelt in a self-driven photoelectric
detector, a Ni film is deposited on a substrate and is annealed to form catalytic particles, and a
chemical vapor deposition system is utilized to accurately control the
temperature gradient between
tungsten trioxide in a central temperature zone and a growth substrate in a downstream temperature zone, so that the width gradient
tungsten disulfide nanobelt is obtained. And the
solid sulfur source is propelled at a
constant rate, the dynamic change of the
sulfur / tungsten
atomic ratio in the reaction environment is regulated and controlled, and a growth mode is guided to be converted from a gas-liquid-
solid mechanism to a gas-
solid mechanism, so that controllable preparation of the
tungsten disulfide nanobelt with the width continuously and progressively decreased in the axial direction is realized. The width of the nanobelt gradually changes from 150-500 nm to 50-120 nm, the length of the nanobelt reaches 3-12 [mu] m, and the nanobelt has an armchair edge and a 3
R phase stacking structure. A self-driven photoelectric
detector constructed based on the nanobelt realizes high-sensitivity detection of 532 nm
laser under
zero bias voltage, the
responsivity reaches 5.04 A / W, the detectivity reaches 3.23 * 10 < 12 > Jones, and the nanobelt shows important application value in the fields of optical
signal detection, optical switches and
wireless optical communication.
