“…To compare with other colloidal nanoparticle based photodetectors, Table 1 summarizes the major characteristics of colloidal plasmonic metallic nanoparticles for visible, near‐IR, and/or SWIR photodetectors from previous applications and the current work. Despite the fact that colloidal plasmonic metallic nanoparticles, e.g., NPs [ 40–43 ] and NRs, [ 23,36,44 ] have been successfully applied previously for photodetection, in comparison to previous studies, the current results demonstrate a remarkable broadband detection covering the NIR‐SWIR spectrum from λ = 800 to 2000 nm, with a detection speed comparable or faster than many previous reports. Innovations on solution‐processed broadband photodetection devices in the NIR‐SWIR spectrum is particularly important because current technologies detecting this spectrum window suffer from high cost and often demand highly toxic heavy metal elements.…”
