Abstract

We fabricated a photodetector using hollow multi-shell structured (HoMSs) SnO₂ as an active material, which exhibits enhanced ultraviolet responsivity and detectivity compared to SnO₂ nanoparticles. This is because the internal cavity within the HoMSs helps to trap light and enhance light absorption. With an increase in the number of shells, the photodetector performance is improved.
