Heterostructures have been extensively investigated for optoelectronic devices owing to their fantastic physicochemical properties. Herein, a mixed-dimensional van der Waals heterostructure (vdWH) CeO@Bi, 1D ceria (CeO) loaded with 0D bismuth quantum dots (Bi QDs), is synthesized through a facile hydrothermal bottom-up method. It is found that the fabricated CeO@Bi-based photoelectrochemical (PEC)-type photodetector (PD) shows self-powered photodetection capability with a fast photoresponse speed of 0.02 s. Besides, a photocurrent of 2.00 μA cm and a photoresponsivity of 888.89 μA W under 365 nm illumination are obtained. Furthermore, good long-term cycle stability is also observed after 1 month in a harsh environment, indicating the great potential for practical applications. These results are further supported by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. We believe that the presented work is expected to provide a new pathway for the future utilization of vdWHs for high-performance optoelectronics.
