The heterojunction in this application can be under the condition of no external power supply bias voltage, and when the heterojunction was immersed in electrolyte as working electrode, illumination passed through the transparent window on the electrolysis trough and shone on the electrically conductive substrate that has the heterojunction long. Under the condition of adding-0.1V bias voltage, the change of photocurrent response is measured in the process of on-light (bright environment) and off-light (dark environment) circulation, and the Raman spectra of Bi2Te3, SnS2 and SnS2/Bi2Te3 heterojunction are shown in figure 6; as shown in FIG. 6, the characteristic peaks of Bi2Te3 in the vicinity of 100cm-1 and 138cm-1 correspond to the Eg and A1g vibrational modes thereof, respectively. The SnS2/Bi2Te3 heterostructure has three characteristic peaks at 99cm-1, 139cm-1 and 311cm-1, which respectively correspond to the Eg and A1g vibration modes of Bi2Te3 and the A1g vibration mode of SnS 2. Therefore, the heterojunction prepared is an SnS2/Bi2Te3 heterojunction (the preparation success of the SnS2/Bi2Te3 heterojunction is shown); when light is irradiated, the photocurrent density is obviously greater than that when the light is not irradiated; the photocurrent density at the light/dark cycle was still detected when no external bias was applied. The photoelectric detection can still be carried out under the condition of no external bias voltage, so that the photoelectric detection is further carried out under certain specific conditions (without an external power supply), and the photoelectric detection has better environmental adaptability and flexibility.

The characteristic peak of the SnS2 near 313cm-1 corresponds to the A1g vibration mode. It can be seen that after the SnS2/Bi2Se3 heterostructure is formed, three vibration modes exist, which are respectively positioned at 126cm < -1 >, 173cm < -1 > and 314cm < -1 >, and respectively correspond to the Eg and A1g vibration modes of Bi2Se3 and the A1g vibration mode of SnS2, so that the heterojunction can be shown to be SnS2/Bi2Se3 heterojunction (showing that the preparation of the SnS2/Bi2Se3 heterojunction is successful). When light is irradiated, the photocurrent density is obviously greater than that when the light is not irradiated; the photocurrent density at the light/dark cycle was still detected when no external bias was applied. The photoelectric detection can still be carried out under the condition of no external bias voltage, so that the photoelectric detection is further carried out under certain specific conditions (without an external power supply), and the photoelectric detection has better environmental adaptability and flexibility.
The performance characteristics of the high-efficiency PEC type photoelectric detector based on the SnS2/Bi2X3 heterojunction in the embodiment are as follows: FIG. 8 is a plot of photocurrent density as a function of light on/dark at-0.1V bias for a PEC-type photodetector based on a SnS2/Bi2X3 heterojunction made in accordance with the present invention; as shown in fig. 8, the abscissa in fig. 8 represents time, and the ordinate represents the magnitude of the photocurrent density. The graph shows the magnitude of the photocurrent density of different samples under alternating continuous bright and dark environments. Obviously, the photocurrent density in the illuminated (bright) environment is greater than the photocurrent density in the dark environment. In bright and dark environments, the difference in photocurrent density is the transient photocurrent density (Iph). The higher the transient photocurrent density (Iph), the better the photodetection performance, specifically, fig. 8 shows the transient photocurrent density (Iph) response curve measured at-0.1V bias voltage, alternating bright and dark environments, each duration of 5 s. The photocurrent density measured by the SnS2/Bi2Se3 heterojunction is the maximum and is about 21 times of SnS2 and 14 times of Bi2Se 3; the photocurrent density of the SnS2/Bi2Te3 heterojunction is about 14 times higher than that of SnS2 and about 12 times higher than that of Bi2Te 3; the method is obtained according to experimental data, and compared with pure SnS2, Bi2Se3 and Bi2Te3, the light current density and the light response of the SnS2/Bi2X3 heterojunction are improved by 14-20 times.
FIG. 9 is a bar graph of the photoresponse of a PEC-type photodetector based on a SnS2/Bi2X3 heterojunction made in accordance with the present invention at-0.1V bias; as shown in fig. 9, the abscissa in fig. 9 does not particularly denote, and the ordinate represents the magnitude of the light responsivity (Rph); according to a histogram of the light responsivity (Rph) calculated through the photocurrent density, the maximum light responsivity of the SnS2/Bi2Se3 heterojunction can be seen, and the light responsivity of the SnS2/Bi2Se3 heterojunction and the SnS2/Bi2Te3 heterojunction are greatly improved compared with that of SnS2 (tin sulfide), Bi2Se3 (bismuth selenide) and Bi2Te3 (bismuth telluride); in practical application, the optical detection performance can be quantitatively evaluated by using the photocurrent density (Iph) and the optical responsivity (Rph), and the calculation formula of the optical responsivity is as follows: the photocurrent density Iph is (Ilight-Idark)/S, where Ilight refers to the magnitude of the photocurrent in light, Idark refers to the magnitude of the photocurrent in a dark environment (no light), and S refers to the magnitude of the area of the heterojunction (working electrode) illuminated by light. The photoresponse Rph is the photocurrent density (Iph)/incident light power density.
Fig. 10 is a graph of photocurrent density as a function of light illumination/dark at a bias of 0V for a PEC-type photodetector based on the SnS2/Bi2X3 heterojunction manufactured according to the present invention, as shown in fig. 10, in which the abscissa represents time and the ordinate represents the magnitude of the photocurrent density. The graph shows the magnitude of the photocurrent density of two heterojunctions under 0V bias and alternating light and dark conditions. In bright and dark environments, the difference in photocurrent density is the transient photocurrent density (Iph). The higher the transient photocurrent density (Iph), the better the photoelectric detection performance; it can be seen that the detector still has an electro-optic response in the absence of an applied bias.
FIG. 11 is a graph of photocurrent density at different wavelengths (420nm, 450nm, 475nm, 500nm, 550nm, 600nm, and 650nm) for a PEC-type photodetector based on a SnS2/Bi2X3 heterojunction made in accordance with the present invention; as shown in fig. 11; the abscissa in fig. 11 represents time and the ordinate represents magnitude of photocurrent density, and from the photocurrent density of fig. 10, the photoresponsiveness of the PEC-type photodetector of the SnS2/Bi2X3 heterojunction under illumination of different wavelengths (420nm, 450nm, 475nm, 500nm, 550nm, 600nm and 650nm) can be calculated.
FIG. 12 is a graph of photocurrent density and photoresponse rate of SnS2/Bi2Se3 and SnS2/Bi2Te3 heterojunction of a heterojunction-based high-efficiency photodetector provided by an embodiment of the invention at different wavelengths; as shown in fig. 12; the abscissa in fig. 12 represents the wavelength of light and the ordinate (left) represents the transient photocurrent density (Iph), with a larger Iph indicating a better photodetection performance. The ordinate (right) represents the magnitude of the light responsivity (Rph), the larger Rph is, the better the photoelectric detection performance is; it can be seen from FIG. 12 that the detector has the maximum optical response under the illumination of 475nm wavelength, and can detect the light with a specific wavelength; compared with the II-type heterojunction SnS2/Bi2Te3, the I-type heterojunction SnS2/Bi2Se3 has higher transmission efficiency of electron-hole pairs and higher photoresponse due to lower transmission resistance with an electrolyte interface, namely the photoelectric property of the I-type heterojunction SnS2/Bi2Se3 is superior to that of the II-type heterojunction SnS2/Bi2Te3, because the charge transmission on the interface of the SnS2/Bi2Se3 heterojunction and the electrolyte is more effective; meanwhile, the PEC type photoelectric detector based on the SnS2/Bi2X3 heterostructure has different responses under different wavelengths of illumination, and can realize the detection and the differentiation of illumination in a specific wave band.
