Bottom‐Up Photosynthesis of an Air‐Stable Radical Semiconductor Showing Photoconductivity to Full Solar Spectrum and X‐Ray
Abstract Single‐component semiconductors with photoresponse to full solar spectrum are highly desirable to simplify the device structure of commercial photodetectors and to improve solar conversion or photocatalytic efficiency but remain scarce. This work reports bottom‐up photosynthesis of an air‐s...

| description | Abstract Single‐component semiconductors with photoresponse to full solar spectrum are highly desirable to simplify the device structure of commercial photodetectors and to improve solar conversion or photocatalytic efficiency but remain scarce. This work reports bottom‐up photosynthesis of an air‐stable radical semiconductor using BiI3 and a photochromism‐active benzidine derivative as a photosensitive functional motif. This semiconductor shows photoconductivity to full solar spectrum contributed by radical and non‐radical forms of the benzidine derivative. It has also the potential to detect X‐rays because of strong X‐ray absorption coefficient. This finding opens up a new synthetic method for radical semiconductors and may find applications on extending photoresponsive ranges of perovskites, transition metal sulfides, and other materials. |
