N2 - Multispectral infrared detection plays a crucial role in advanced applications spanning environmental monitoring, military surveillance, and biomedical diagnostics, offering superior target identification accuracy compared to single-band imaging techniques. In this work, we synthesized four distinct bands of colloidal quantum dots (CQDs)—specifically, a cut-off of 1.3 µm with PbS CQDs and 1.8 µm, 2.6 µm, and 3.5 µm with HgTe CQDs—and employed them to construct planar multiband infrared photodetectors. The device exhibited a clear photoresponse at room temperature from 0.8 µm to 3.5 µm, with responsivity of 5.39 A/W and specific detectivity of 2.01 × 1011 Jones at 1.8 µm. This materials–device co-design strategy integrates wavelength-selective CQD synthesis with planar pixel-level patterning, providing a versatile pathway for developing low-cost, solution-processed, multiband infrared photodetectors.
