Layered Bi2O2Se nanosheets, characterized by a low bandgap, high electron mobility, and good air stability, have garnered significant attention for their potential applications in electronics and photonics. However, the relatively low photocurrent generated by single Bi2O2Se nanosheet photodetectors results in diminished switching ratios and responsiveness, thereby limiting the overall performance of Bi2O2Se-based photodetectors. In this study, we report a dual-band heterostructure photodetector constructed from high-quality Bi2O2Se nanosheets and CdS nanobelts. This device demonstrates exceptional photodetection performance in both the visible (450 nm) and near-infrared (1150 nm) regions, featuring a high switching ratio, increased responsivity, elevated specific detectivity, large external quantum efficiency, and rapid response speed. Notably, these key parameters exceed those reported in most Bi2O2Se-based photodetectors. Importantly, the Bi2O2Se/CdS heterostructure photodetector showcases impressive high-resolution imaging capabilities. These findings highlight the promising potential of this device for applications in image sensing and encrypted optical communication.
