Flexible photodetectors functionalized by transition metal dichalcogenides have attracted great attention due to their excellent photo-harvesting efficiency. However, the field of optoelectronics still requires advancement in the production of large-area, broad band and flexible photodetectors. Here we report a flexible, stable, broad band and fast photodetector based on a MoS/WSeheterostructure on ordinary photocopy paper with pencil-drawn graphite electrodes. Ultrathin MoS/WSenanohybrids have been synthesized by an ultrahigh yield liquid-phase exfoliation technique. The thin sheets of WSe, and MoScontain two to four layers with a highly c-oriented crystalline structure. Subsequently, the photodetector was exploited under ultra-broad spectral range from 400 to 780 nm. The photodetector exhibits excellent figure of merit such as on/off ratio of the order of 10, photoresponsivity of 124 mA Wand external quantum efficiency of 23.1%. Encouragingly, rise/decay time of about 0.1/0.3 s was realized, which is better than in previous reports on paper-based devices.

Metal-halide perovskite nanowire array photodetectors based on the solution method are valuable in the field of polarized light detection because of their unique one-dimensional array structure and excellent photoelectric performance. However, the limited wettability of liquids poses challenges for achieving large-scale and high-quality perovskite nanowire arrays. To address this issue, we develop a facile method utilizing capillary condensation to grow high-quality centimeter-scale perovskite nanowire arrays.

Paper is an ideal platform for creating flexible and eco-friendly electronic systems. Leveraging the synergistic integration of zero- and two-dimensional materials, it unfolds a broad spectrum of applications within the realm of the Internet of Things (IoT), spanning from wearable electronics to smart packaging solutions. However, for paper without a polymer coating, the rough and porous nature presents significant challenges as a substrate for electronics, and the absence of well-established fabrication methods further hinders its application in wearable electronics.

In this work, we present a facile and straightforward approach for fabricating highly stretchable photodetectors based on AgS and TiCT MXene hybrid materials. These devices exhibit exceptional mechanical resilience, maintaining stable electrical and optical performance even after 10 000 cycles of 30% strain. The incorporation of MXene not only enhances the device's electrical durability but also ensures the retention of conductivity under significant mechanical deformation, positioning MXene as a critical material for the advancement of flexible electronics.

The construction of an admirable hybrid bulk-heterojunction (HBH) can benefit the performance of optoelectronic devices through efficient charge separation and transportation. However, the present HBH structure still suffers from complicated layer-by-layer ligand exchanges during device fabrication. In this work, we apply a liquid phase exchange strategy in mixed colloidal hybrids composed of quantum dots (QDs) and nanotetrapods (NTs) and construct low-cost flexible self-powered infrared photodetectors with a carbon electrode.

Anti-ambipolar transistors (AAT) are considered as a breakthrough technology in the field of electronics and optoelectronics, which is not only widely used in diverse logic circuits, but also crucial for the realization of high-performance photodetectors. The anti-ambipolar characteristics arising from the gate-tunable energy band structure can produce high-performance photodetection at different gate voltages. As a result, this places higher demands on the parametric driving range (ΔVg) and peak-to-valley ratio (PVR) of the AAT.
