Distinguishable Detection of Ultraviolet, Visible, and Infrared Spectrum with High-Responsivity Perovskite-Based Flexible Photosensors.

Distinguishable detection of the ultraviolet, visible, and infrared spectrum is promising and significant for the super visual system of artificial intelligences. However, it is challenging to provide a photosensor with such broad spectral response ability. In this work, the ultraviolet, visible, and infrared spectrum is distinguished by developing serial photosensors based on perovskite/carbon nanotube hybrids. Oraganolead halide perovskites (CH NH PbX ) possess remarkable optoelectronic properties and tunable optical band gaps by changing the halogens, and integration with single-walled carbon nanotubes can further improve their photoresponsivities. The CH NH PbCl -based photosensor shows a responsivity up to 10 A W to ultraviolet and no obvious response to visible light, which is superior to that of most ultraviolet sensors. The CH NH PbBr -based photosensor exhibits a high responsivity to visible light. Serial devices of the two hybrid photosensors with comparable electric and sensory performances can distinguish the spectrum of ultraviolet, visible, and infrared even with varying light intensities. The photosensors also demonstrate excellent mechanical flexibility and bending stability. By taking full advantages of the oraganolead halide perovskites, this work provides flexible high-responsivity photosensors specialized for ultraviolet, and gives a simple strategy for distinguishable detection of ultraviolet, visible, and infrared spectrum based on the serial flexible photosensors.
