Article Abstract
Flexible short-wavelength infrared (SWIR) detectors are significant for wearable health monitoring, artificial vision systems, etc. However, it is difficult to realize flexibility in mainstream SWIR photodetectors, like InGaAs and HgCdTe, because of high fabrication temperature and epitaxial growth on single-crystal substrates. Herein, we report a highly flexible thin-film transistor (TFT) monolithic-integrated SWIR photodetector based on one-dimensional (Bi,Sb)Se. A high external quantum efficiency of 29% at 1,300 nm and fast response time are achieved. The device exhibits excellent flexibility due to the high mechanical tolerance of the one-dimensional structure, retaining 97% of the original value after bending at a 0.05 mm radius. It also presents high electric and thermal stability, maintaining 97.6% of the original value after annealing for 408 h at 90°C. Finally, applications for wearable heart rate monitors and curved-surface imaging are demonstrated. This work highlights the potential of (Bi,Sb)Se SWIR photodetector for flexible electronics.

The limited noise-responsivity balance in Short-wave infrared (SWIR) organic photodetectors (OPDs) restricts their biomedical and optoelectronic applications. In this study, this challenge is addressed through molecular-device co-engineering by designing two fluorinated narrow-bandgap non-fullerene acceptors (BTT-DTPn and BTT-DTPn-2F) coupled with solvent vapor annealing (SVA), achieving low noise and high detectivity in SWIR OPDs. The optimized devices based on BTT-DTPn-2F, which features enhance π-π stacking due to terminal fluorination, extend its absorption capability to 1300 nm.

The facile synthesis of ultranarrow-bandgap (<1 eV) small-molecule semiconductors remains a persistent challenge for advancing shortwave infrared (SWIR) organic optoelectronic technologies. Donor-acceptor (D-A)-type molecules featuring quinoidal 2-(5-methylenethiazol-2(5)-ylidene)malononitrile (TM) end-groups are promising for achieving this goal. However, despite extensive studies of TM-based asymmetric merocyanine dyes, their optoelectronic performances remain far from satisfactory, and the synthetic methodologies for symmetric TM-end-capped molecules remain largely unexplored.

Narrowband short-wave infrared (SWIR) organic photodetectors, combining wavelength-specific detection with the inherent advantages of organic semiconductors, are important candidates for many applications like medical diagnostics, industrial sorting, and environmental monitoring. However, previously reported spectral-narrowing strategies often compromise device performance through structural complexity and intrinsic limitations of charge-transfer (CT) absorption, even when coupled with strong cavity device architectures. To address this, a pseudo-charge-transfer state is engineered by doping an ultra-narrow bandgap third component, simultaneously optimizing electrode processing to minimize parasitic absorption and interface energetic barriers.

However, T2SL photodetectors typically suffer from relatively low quantum efficiency. In this study, we demonstrate a significant enhancement in the quantum efficiency of eSWIR T2SL photodetectors through the implementation of a photon-trapping structure.
