Recent progress on stability and applications of flexible perovskite photodetectors

Abstract Flexible photodetectors have garnered significant attention by virtue of their potential applications in environmental monitoring, wearable healthcare, imaging sensing, and portable optical communications. Perovskites stand out as particularly promising materials for photodetectors, offering exceptional optoelectronic properties, tunable band gaps, low-temperature solution processing, and notable mechanical flexibility. In this review, we explore the latest progress in flexible perovskite photodetectors, emphasizing the strategies developed for photoactive materials and device structures to enhance optoelectronic performance and stability. Additionally, we discuss typical applications of these devices and offer insights into future directions and potential applications.
