Abstract: curves demonstrate formation of the BPVE with an open-circuit voltage of 34 mV. Meanwhile, the photocurrent response across the entire channel under zero bias exhibits obvious polarized angle dependence with photocurrent anisotropy ratio of 3.29. The separation of the photogenerated carriers is caused by electric field, originating from in-plane polarization, as demonstrated by piezoresponse force microscopy. This study enhances the understanding of the BPVE and suggests novel strategies for future self-powered devices.
