Abstract

SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.

Abstract

This chapter focuses on the evolution of Self-powered Photodetectors, from single nanobelt to highly sophisticated Pyro-phototronic effect-assisted devices. The essentials of the self-powered photodetector, from material characterization to device engineering mechanism, are discussed in detail, such as Pyro-phototronic enriched devices. This study provides a state-of-the-art research trend of the Pyro-phototronic enriched self-powered photodetectors. Finally, a summary of various device structures with their figures of merit and conclusions, along with the research gap, is presented. This review focuses on providing valuable insights into improving self-powered photodetectors.
