/ITO heterostructure photodetectors were fabricated by a low-temperature colloidal synthetic route in combination with the spin-coating technique, which exhibit good photoresponse in a wide range from 405 to 980 nm with fast response times (0.49 and 0.58 s) and excellent stability. This work suggests that ternary silver-based I-V-VI
