Abstract: In this study, an aluminum oxide passivation layer generated through liquid-phase deposition (LPD) was used to improve the properties of a TiO 2 ultraviolet solid–liquid heterojunction photodetector. An aluminum oxide deposition solution was used to reduce the oxygen vacancies of TiO 2. Moreover, the surface roughness and porosity of the TiO 2 film improved after aluminum oxide deposition. An aluminum oxide passivation layer was deposited on a TiO 2 /indium-tin-oxide (ITO)/glass photodetector with the precursors of aluminum sulfate and sodium bicarbonate. The responsivity and turn-off time of the TiO 2 /ITO photodetector were 133 mA/W and 34.6 s, respectively. A dense and uniform film surface could be obtained after the aluminum oxide passivation layer was deposited on TiO 2 to form an Al 2 O 3 –TiO 2 composite film. After deposition, the responsivity and turn-off time improved to 208 mA/W and 27.3 s, respectively. Thus, the LPD passivation film is highly favorable for improving the properties of photodetectors. • Aluminium oxide passivation layer was used to improve the properties of TiO 2 ultraviolet photodetector. • The aluminium oxide film was prepared by liquid phase deposition. • Aluminium oxide passivation layer can reduce the oxygen vacancy of TiO 2 film. • The responsivity can be improved to from 133 mA/W to 208 mA/W after the passivation layer treatment.
