High‐Resolution and Stable Ruddlesden–Popper Quasi‐2D Perovskite Flexible Photodetectors Arrays for Potential Applications as Optical Image Sensor.

The development of an efficient fabrication route to achieve high‐resolution perovskite pixel array is key for large‐scale flexible image sensor devices. Herein, a high‐resolution and stable 10 × 10 flexible PDs array based on formamidinium(FA+) and phenylmethylammonium (PMA+) quasi‐2D (PMA)2FAPb2I7 (n = 2) perovskite is demonstrated by developing SiO2‐assisted hydrophobic and hydrophilic treatment process on polyethylene terephthalate substrate. By introducing Au nanoparticles (Au NPs), the perovskite film quality is improved and grain boundaries are reduced. The mechanism by which Au NPs upgrade the photoelectric quality of perovskite is mainly revealed by glow discharge‐optical emission spectroscopy (GD‐OES) and grazing‐incidence wide‐angle X‐ray scattering (GIWAXS). To further improve the photoelectric performance of the devices, a post‐treatment strategy with formamidinium chloride (FACl) is used. The optimized flexible PDs arrays show excellent optoelectronic properties with a high responsivity of 4.7 A W−1, a detectivity of 6.3 × 1012 Jones, and a broad spectral sensitivity. The device also exhibits excellent electrical stability even under severe bending and excellent flexural strength, as well as excellent environmental stability. Finally, the integrated flexible PDs arrays are used as sensor pixels in an imaging system to obtain high‐resolution imaging patterns, demonstrating the imaging capability of the PDs arrays.
