AB - IntroductionPhotodetectors are vital components in applications like health monitoring,[1] optical communication,[2] night vision,[3] surveillance,[4] motion detection,[5] collision avoidance systems for autonomous vehicles, etc.[6,7] Due to their mature fabrication technology, appreciable performance, robust stability, and high‐level integration with existing electronics, crystalline inorganic semiconductors‐based photodetectors remain the choice of photodetection technology.[8,9] However, these inorganic photodetectors (IPDs) are facing challenges in fitting into the new age flexible/wearable devices due to their rigid/brittle nature.[10] The expensive and complicated manufacturing of IPD is also causing issues in realizing low‐cost mass production. Being broadband absorbers, the use of color filters is a prerequisite in IPD for narrowband sensing.[11–13] Integration of color filters further complicates the device architecture and negatively affects pure color replication. Thus, scientific communities are in search of potential IPD alternatives that offer low‐cost fabrication, high performance, stability, and favorable mechanical properties.Solution‐processed photodetectors are potential alternatives to IPDs, primarily due to low‐cost fabrication and attractive mechanical properties.[14–16] Photodetectors that can adhere to flexible, curved, and soft surfaces are in high demand due to their applications in human‐activity monitoring and personal health care.[17–19] Organic photodetectors are the front runners in this segment and offer enormous advantages like tunable optoelectronic properties,[20] low‐temperature/low‐cost processing,[21] flexibility,[19] lightweight,[22]
