Abstract
Highly flexible, robust, and sensitive infrared nanosensors were fabricated based on carbon nanoparticles that were synthesized through a simple and low-cost flame method. The infrared nanosensor devices showed sharp infrared photoresponse with a response time of ∼68 ms and a maximum photocurrent change of ∼52.9%. The devices showed a superhydrophobic property with a contact angle larger than 150° and a sliding angle of ∼4°. The mechanism for the enhanced infrared photoresponse from carbon nanoparticles is discussed.
