Abstract

Abstract Cesium copper halide perovskite is one of the promising materials for solar‐blind light detection. However, most of the cesium copper halide perovskite‐based photodetectors (PDs) are focused on ultraviolet A detection and realized on the rigid substrate in the single device configuration. Here, a flexible solar‐blind PDs array (10 × 10 pixels) based on the CsCu 2 I 3 film patterns for ultraweak light sensing and light distribution imaging is reported. Large‐scale CsCu 2 I 3 film arrays are synthesized with various shapes and uniform dimensions through a simple vacuum‐heating‐assisted solution method. Benefiting from excellent air stability and superior resistance to the photodegrading of the CsCu 2 I 3 film, the array device exhibits long‐term stable photoswitching behavior for 8 h and ultralow light detection capability to resolve the light intensity of 6.1 nW cm −2 with a high responsivity of 62 A W −1 , and the array device can acquire clear images of “G”, “X”, and “U” showing the input light distribution. Moreover, the flame detection and warning system based on a curved solar‐blind PDs array is demonstrated, which can be used for multi‐flame monitoring and locating. These results can encourage potential applications of the CsCu 2 I 3 film‐based PDs array in the field of optical communication and environment monitoring.
