Cu 2 ZnSn(S,Se) 4 (CZTSSe) has attracted great interest in thin-film solar cells due to its excellent photoelectric performance in past decades, and recently is gradually expanding to the field of photodetectors. Here, the CZTSSe self-powered photodetector is prepared by using traditional photovoltaic device structure. Under zero bias, it exhibits the excellent performance with a maximum responsivity of 0.77 A W -1 , a high detectivity of 8.78 × 10 12 Jones, and a wide linear dynamic range of 103 dB. Very fast response speed with the rise/decay times of 0.576/1.792 µs, and ultra-high switching ratio of 3.54 × 10 5 are obtained. Comprehensive electrical and microstructure characterizations confirm that element diffusion among ITO, CdS, and CZTSSe layers not only optimizes band alignment of CdS/CZTSSe, but also suppresses the formation of interface defects. Such a suppression of interface defects and spike-like band alignment significantly inhibit carrier nonradiative recombination at interface and promote carrier transport capability. The low trap density in CZTSSe and low back contact barrier of CZTSSe/Mo could be responsible for the very fast response time of photodetector. This work definitely provides guidance for designing a high performance self-powered photodetector with high photoresponse, high switching ratio, fast response speed, and broad linear dynamic range.
