Aiming to overcome the limitation of manufacturing technology at atomic scale, "More than Moore's law" has been recognized as a promising route to develop the next generation micro-nano electronics in the recent years. These new devices have been designed to minimize the non-digital units to nanoscale and to integrate these units into a multifunctional electronic system. The non-digital units usually contain the power source, sensing units, charge transfer devices, switches, amplifier and etc. Low dimensional nanomaterial is considered to be the most promising candidate material to construct nanoscale multifunctional electronic system. Taking the advantages of the low dimensional semiconductor nanomaterials, the self-powered system has been proposed to integrate a power source and a working unit into one system. In a self-powered system, the devices are supplied by the energy directly harvested from environments, such as mechanical energy, solar energy, chemical energy and biological energy. The self-powered system can be used as an individual, sustainable, and wireless nano electronic system. By utilizing the unique interface effect and the superior photoelectrical properties, the self-powered photodetector has been fabricated. The working principle of the self-powered photodetector is to immediately separate the photo generated electron-hole pairs by the built-in field forming at the interface of semiconductor junction area. This type of devices includes pn junction, Schottky junction, and liquid-semiconductor junction. In a Schottky junction device, the response current is usually caused by majority carrier transportation avoiding the interference of the diffusion capacitance caused by minority carriers. As a result, the Schottky junction based self-powered photodetectors have attracted more attentions due to their good spectral selectivity, fast responsivity, and etc. Recently, it has been demonstrated that the piezopotential is an effective way to modify the barrier height of the junctions by applyi
