Zusammenfassung:Photodetectors (PDs) are the building block of various imaging and sensing applications. However, commercially available PDs based on crystalline inorganic semiconductors cannot meet the requirements of emerging wearable/implantable applications due to their rigidity and fragility, which creates the need for flexible devices. Here, a high‐performance flexible PD is presented by gating an organic electrochemical transistor (OECT) with a perovskite solar cell. Due to the ultrahigh transconductance of the OECT, the device demonstrates a high gain of ≈106, a fast response time of 67 µs and an ultrahigh detectivity of 6.7 × 1017 Jones to light signals under a low working voltage (≤0.6 V). Thanks to the ultrahigh sensitivity and fast response, the device can track photoplethysmogram signals and peripheral oxygen saturation under ambient light and even provide contactless remote sensing, offering a low‐power and convenient way for continuous vital signs monitoring. This work offers a novel strategy for realizing high‐performance flexible PDs that are promising for low‐power, user‐friendly and wearable optoelectronics. A high‐performance flexible photodetector is realized by gating an organic electrochemical transistor with a perovskite solar cell, outperforming previously reported flexible photodetectors, which can be attributed to the high transconductance of the transistor. The device can monitor photoplethysmogram signals and peripheral oxygen saturation under ambient light and even remotely. This novel device design demonstrates great potential in emerging wearable optoelectronics.
