Abstract
Flexible and self-powered photodetectors (PDs) are highly desirable for applications in image sensing, smart building, and optical communications. In this paper, a self-powered and flexible PD based on the methylammonium lead iodide (CH<sub>3</sub> NH<sub>3</sub> PBI<sub>3</sub> ) perovskite is demonstrated. Such a self-powered PD can operate even with irregular motion such as human finger tapping, which enables it to work without a bulky external power source. In addition, with high-quality CH<sub>3</sub> NH<sub>3</sub> PBI<sub>3</sub> perovskite thin film fabricated with solvent engineering, the PD exhibits an impressive detectivity of 1.22 × 10<sup>13</sup> Jones. In the self-powered voltage detection mode, it achieves a large responsivity of up to 79.4 V mW<sup>-1</sup> cm<sup>-2</sup> and a voltage response of up to ≈90%. Moreover, as the PD is made of flexible and transparent polymer films, it can operate under bending and functions at 360 ° of illumination. As a result, the self-powered, flexible, 360 ° omnidirectional perovskite PD, featuring high detectivity and responsivity along with real-world sensing capability, suggests a new direction for next-generation optical communications, sensing, and imaging applications.
