Abstract
Abstract Films with honeycomb‐like structures have became ideal network structures for the development of flexible photodetectors due to their superior mechanical stability and merits in large active surface area, high carrier transport efficiency and well light absorption capacity. In this work, a honeycomb‐like Bi 2 S 3 film with centimeter‐scale (2 cm × 2 cm) is synthesized on an ultrathin flexible fluorophlogopite mica substrate, which consists of a well‐stabilized arrangement of triangular unit structures forming an interconnected network structure. Based on the as‐grown honeycomb‐like Bi 2 S 3 film, a flexible photodetector with a broadband response from ultraviolet to infrared is constructed, which displays the highest responsivity ( R λ ) of 611.2 mA W −1 and specific detectivity ( D *) of 4.77 × 10 10 Jones. And at 850 nm light illumination, there is nearly no deterioration in R λ and D * of the Bi 2 S 3 flexible photodetector after successive multiple bends, benefiting from the excellent structural stability of the triangular honeycomb network structure. Notably, the device maintains excellent detection performance after 1 week of prolonged bending in air without any encapsulation, and its photocurrent can still reach 90.39% of the initial photocurrent. In addition, the device also exhibits favorable durability, cycle stability, as well as high‐definition imaging ability in bending state and after bending recovery.
