Unveiling the synergistic piezo-phototronic dynamics in indium selenide incorporated poly(vinylidene fluoride) nanocomposites for next-generation energy harvesting
Abstract
nanoparticles, which enabled the PVIS_2 photodetector film to generate reproducible and stable photocurrent with an on-off switching current of ∼2.21 µA and UV photoresponsivity at a bandgap of ∼3.3 eV. The device also exhibited a responsive piezo-phototronic effect, with output voltages of ∼9.8 V under illumination and ∼4.8 V in the dark, confirming dual sensitivity to light and mechanical stimuli. These results highlight the PVIS_2 nanocomposite as a promising candidate for next-generation, self-powered optoelectronic sensors capable of efficient multifunctional energy harvesting and environmental monitoring.
