We report hybrid photodetectors made of two or more nanomaterial components can offer the high potential for advanced photodetection applications with enhanced light absorption, improved efficiency and structural tunability. A hybrid UV photodetector (PD) configuration incorporating the plasmonic hybrid alloy nanoparticles (HANP), ZnO quantum dots (QDs) and MoS₂ nanoflakes, namely MoS2/ZnO/HANP PD, is demonstrated. The optimized MoS₂/ZnO/HANP PD exhibits a high photocurrent of 5.66 mA at 0.34 mW/mm² under 385 nm illumination with two orders of improvement from the bare ZnO, which is one of the highest photocurrents by the ZnO-based PDs. It also demonstrates high figure-of-merits with the responsivity of 14,523 mA/W, detectivity of 8.13 x 10¹¹ jones, and external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 4,680 %, outperforming most of the ZnO-based hybrid architectures. The enhanced photoresponse is primarily attributed to the significantly enhanced hot electron generation by the AgPd HANPs and photocarrier collection through the ZnO QD layer. MoS₂ nanoflakes also provide additional photon absorption sites and boost the photo-carrier transfer process. HANPs are grown by adapting a dual-step solid-state dewetting process (SSD) approach and the superiority of AgPd HANPs is confirmed by systematic investigation, FDTD simulation and comparison of AgPt and AgPd HANPs.
