Enabling Low‐Noise, High‐Detectivity, Stable, and Flexible Perovskite Mesh Nanowire Photodetectors by Phenylethylamine Iodine Doping Strategy.

The poor stability, high noise, and low detectivity (<italic>D*</italic>) of perovskite mesh nanowire (PMN) photodetectors (PDs) seriously hinder their practical applications. Here, a phenylethylamine iodine doping strategy (PIDS) is introduced to solve these problems. The PIDS leads to the formation of 2D perovskite PEA2MAx‐1PbxI3x+1 (PEA = phenylethylamine, MA = methylamine) within MAPbI3 PMN, which not only prevents water and oxygen erosion to thwart PMN degradation but also inhibits the transport of dark state carriers to reduce dark current. As a result, the noise, <italic>D*</italic>, and stability of the PMN PD are simultaneously improved. The device exhibits low noise current (7.61 × 10−15 A Hz−1/2) and high <italic>D*</italic> of 3.2 × 1014 Jones, the highest <italic>D*</italic> value for PMN PDs reported to date. Moreover, the unpacked device sustains 100% of its initial performance after 2880 h of storage in the air (45–55% humidity), enabling it as the most stable MAPbI3 perovskite micro/nanostructure PD reported to date. Furthermore, the flexible device with PIDS exhibits comparable performance to that of the rigid device as well as great mechanical stability. Finally, the flexible device with PIDS demonstrates excellent optical imaging capability and a higher precision optical imaging potential than the commercial silicon photodiode S2386.
