摘要

Conventional photovoltaic devices based on PN or Schottky junctions are inherently constrained by the material band gap, resulting in limited photoelectric conversion efficiency. The van der Waals ferroelectric material CuInP₂S₆ offers strong potential for efficient photocurrent generation via bulk photovoltaic effect, while heterostructure engineering provides additional degrees of freedom for performance modulation. Yet, the specificity in asymmetric CuInP₂S₆ heterojunctions remains poorly understood. Here, we design and fabricate an asymmetric photovoltaic device, consisting of Pt/CuInP₂S₆/Graphene heterostructure. The ferroelectric photovoltaic effect couples with the Cu⁺ migration dynamics, which could be manipulated by asymmetric interface barriers. Remarkably, the photovoltaic current is increased by 10 times and exhibits a positive-negative switching through polarization modulation. The heterojunction device achieves on-demand photovoltaic programming for in-sensor computing tasks, including edge detection with recognition rate F-score ~ 1 and binary pattern classification with 100% accuracy, which provides new insights for next-generation visual technology.
