In this study, we investigate the temperature-dependent photodetection properties of titanium trisulfide (TiS3)- in order to develop high-performance photodetectors that can operate across a wide range of temperatures (77 K\u2013543 K). We fabricate a solid-state photodetector using the dielectrophoresis technique, which demonstrates a quick response (response\/recovery time ~0.093 s) and high performance over a wide range of temperatures. Specifically, the photodetector exhibits a very high photocurrent (6.95 \u00d7 10\u22125 A), photoresponsivity (1.624 \u00d7 108 A\/W), quantum efficiency (3.3 \u00d7 108 A\/W\u00b7nm), and detectivity (4.328 \u00d7 1015 Jones) for a 617 nm wavelength of light with a very weak intensity (~1.0 \u00d7 10\u22125 W\/cm2). The developed photodetector also shows a very high device ON\/OFF ratio (~32). Prior to fabrication, the TiS3 nanoribbons were synthesized using the chemical vapor technique and characterized according to their morphology, structure, stability, and electronic and optoelectronic properties; this was performed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and a UV\u2013Visible\u2013NIR spectrophotometer. We anticipate that this novel solid-state photodetector will have broad applications in modern optoelectronic devices.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s23104948","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,22]],"date-time":"2023-05-22T02:28:42Z","timestamp":1684722522000},"page":"4948","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["TiS3 Nanoribbons: A Novel Material for Ultra-Sensitive Photodetection across Extreme Temperature Ranges"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Mohammad","family":"Talib","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, Jamia Millia Islamia (A Central University), New Delhi 110025, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4645-0715","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nishant","family":"Tripathi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Samara National Research University, 34, Moskovskoye Shosse, Samara 443086, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Samrah","family":"Manzoor","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, Jamia Millia Islamia (A Central University), New Delhi 110025, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Prachi","family":"Sharma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Samara National Research University, 34, Moskovskoye Shosse, Samara 443086, Russia"},{"name":"School of Electronics Engineering (SENSE), Vellore Institute of Technology (VIT), Vellore 632014, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Vladimir","family":"Pavelyev","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Samara National Research University, 34, Moskovskoye Shosse, Samara 443086, Russia"},{"name":"IPSI RAS\u2014Branch of the FSRC \u201cCrystallography and Photonics\u201d RAS, Molodogvardeyskaya 151, Samara 443001, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2637-1371","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Valentyn S.","family":"Volkov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Photonics & 2D Materials, Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT), Dolgoprudny 141700, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7506-4389","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Aleksey V.","family":"Arsenin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Photonics & 2D Materials, Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT), Dolgoprudny 141700, Russia"},{"name":"Laboratory of Advanced Functional Materials, Yerevan State University, Yerevan 0025, Armenia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7105-5322","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sergey M.","family":"Novikov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Photonics & 2D Materials, Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT), Dolgoprudny 141700, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Prabhash","family":"Mishra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, Jamia Millia Islamia (A Central University), New Delhi 110025, India"},{"name":"Samara National Research University, 34, Moskovskoye Shosse, Samara 443086, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"085701","DOI":"10.1088\/2040-8978\/17\/8\/085701","article-title":"Retrieving the polarization information for satellite-to-ground light communication","volume":"17","author":"Tao","year":"2015","journal-title":"J.
