Abstract
Paper is an ideal substrate for the development of flexible and environmentally sustainable ubiquitous electronic systems. When combined with nanomaterial-based devices, it can be harnessed for various Internet-of-Things applications, ranging from wearable electronics to smart packaging. However, paper remains a challenging substrate for electronics due to its rough and porous nature. In addition, the absence of established fabrication methods is impeding its utilization in wearable applications. Unlike other paper-based electronics with added layers, in this study, we present a scalable spray-lithography on a commercial paper substrate. We present a non-vacuum spray-lithography of chemical vapor deposition (CVD) single-layer graphene (SLG), carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and perovskite quantum dots (QDs) on a paper substrate. This approach combines the advantages of two large-area techniques: CVD and spray-coating. The first technique allows for the growth of SLG, while the second enables the spray coating of a mask to pattern CVD SLG, electrodes (CNTs), and photoactive (QDs) layers. We harness the advantages of perovskite QDs in photodetection, leveraging their strong absorption coefficients. Integrating them with the graphene enhances the photoconductive gain mechanism, leading to high external responsivity. The presented device shows high external responsivity of ∼520 A W-1at 405 nm at <1 V bias due to the photoconductive gain mechanism. The prepared paper-based photodetectors (PDs) achieve an external responsivity of 520 A W-1under 405 nm illumination at <1 V operating voltage. To the best of our knowledge, our devices have the highest external responsivity among paper-based PDs. By fabricating arrays of PDs on a paper substrate in the air, this work highlights the potential of this scalable approach for enabling ubiquitous electronics on paper.

Abstract
Metal halide-perovskite-based photodetectors have recently emerged as a class of promising optoelectronic devices in various fields. Meanwhile, nano/microstructuring perovskite-based photodetectors are a facile integration with complementary metal-oxide semiconductors for miniaturized imaging systems. However, there are still challenges to be overcome in reducing the losses caused by light reflection on the surface of microstructural perovskites. In this work, surface microstructure engineering is employed in MAPbBr3 microsheets for reducing light reflection and improving light absorption, resulting in high-performance perovskite photodetectors. MAPbBr3 microsheets, which possess different surface morphologies of flat, upright hemisphere arrays and inverted hemisphere arrays (IHAs), are fabricated by a simple microstructure template-assisted space confinement process. The light absorption capacity of IHA MAPbBr3 is significantly higher than that of the other two structures. Hence, IHA photodetectors with excellent figures of merit, including low dark current, decent responsivity, and fast speed, are achieved. Furthermore, the noise of the IHA photodetectors is only ∼10-13 A/H z , which results in the superior sensitivity for weak light detection with a specific detectivity up to 1011 Jones. Our results demonstrate that surface engineering is a simple, low-cost, yet effective approach to improve the performance of nano-/micro-optoelectronic devices.

Abstract
Uniform optoelectronic quality of metal halide perovskite (MHP) films is critical for scalable production in large-area applications, such as photovoltaics and displays. While vapor-based MHP film deposition is advantageous for this purpose, achieving film uniformity can be challenging due to uneven temperature distribution and precursor concentration over the substrate. Here, we propose optimized substrate orientations for the vapor-based fabrication of homogeneous MAPbI3 thin films, involving a PbI2 primary layer deposition and subsequent conversion using vaporized methylammonium iodide (MAI). Leveraging computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations, we confirm that vertical positioning during the PbI2 layer growth yields a uniform film with a narrow temperature distribution and minimal boundary layer thickness. However, during the subsequent conversion step, horizontal substrate positioning results in spatially more uniform MAPbI3 thickness and grain size compared to the vertical placement due to enhanced MAI intercalation. From this optimized substrate positioning, we observe substantial optical homogeneity across the substrate on a centimeter scale, along with uniform and enhanced optoelectronic device performance within photodetector arrays. Our results offer a potential path toward the scalable production of highly uniform perovskite films.

Abstract
Multifunctional photodetectors boost the development of traditional optical communication technology and emerging artificial intelligence fields, such as robotics and autonomous driving. However, the current implementation of multifunctional detectors is based on the physical combination of optical lenses, gratings, and multiple photodetectors, the large size and its complex structure hinder the miniaturization, lightweight, and integration of devices. In contrast, perovskite materials have achieved remarkable progress in the field of multifunctional photodetectors due to their diverse crystal structures, simple morphology manipulation, and excellent optoelectronic properties. In this review, we first overview the crystal structures and morphology manipulation techniques of perovskite materials and then summarize the working mechanism and performance parameters of multifunctional photodetectors. Furthermore, the fabrication strategies of multifunctional perovskite photodetectors and their advancements are highlighted, including polarized light detection, spectral detection, angle-sensing detection, and self-powered detection. Finally, the existing problems of multifunctional detectors and the perspectives of their future development are presented.

Abstract
2D monoelemental materials, particularly germanene and silicene (the single layer of germanium and silicon), which are the base materials for modern electronic devices demonstrated tremendous attraction for their 2D layer structure along with the tuneable electronics and optical band gap. The major shortcoming of synthesized thermodynamically very unstable layered germanene and silicene with their inclination toward oxidation was overcome by topochemical deintercalation of a Zintl phase (CaGe2, CaGe1.5Si0.5, and CaGeSi) in a protic environment. The exfoliated Ge-H, Ge0.75Si0.25H, and Ge0.5Si0.5H were successfully synthesized and employed as the active layer for photoelectrochemical photodetectors, which showed broad response (420-940 nm), unprecedented responsivity, and detectivity on the order of 168 μA W-1 and 3.45 × 108 cm Hz1/2 W-1, respectively. The sensing capability of exfoliated germanane and silicane composites was explored using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy with ultrafast response and recovery time of less than 1 s. These positive findings serve as the application of exfoliated germanene and silicene composites and can pave a new path to practical applications in efficient future devices.

Abstract
The doping of impurity ions into perovskite lattices has been scrupulously developed as a promising method to stabilize the crystallographic structure and modulate the optoelectronic properties. However, the photoluminescence (PL) of Fe2+-doped mixed halide perovskite NCs is still relatively unexplored. In this work, the Fe2+-doped CsPb(ClxBr1-x)3 nanocrystals (NCs) are prepared by a hot injection method. In addition, their optical absorption, photoluminescence (PL), PL lifetimes, and photostabilities are compared with those of undoped CsPb(Br1-xClx)3 NCs. We find the Fe2+ doping results in the redshift of the absorption edge and PL. Moreover, the full width at half maximums (FWHMs) are decreased, PL quantum yields (QYs) are improved, and PL lifetimes are extended, suggesting the defect density is reduced by the Fe2+ doping. Moreover, the photostability is significantly improved after the Fe2+ doping. Therefore, this work reveals that Fe2+ doping is a very promising approach to modulate the optical properties of mixed halide perovskite NCs.

Abstract
Photodetectors and sensors have a prominent role in our lives and cover a wide range of applications, including intelligent systems and the detection of harmful and toxic elements. Although there have been several studies in this direction, their practical applications have been hindered by slow response and low responsiveness. To overcome these problems, we have presented here a self-powered (photoelectrochemical, PEC), ultrasensitive, and ultrafast photodetector platform. For this purpose, a novel few-layered palladium-phosphorus-sulfur (PdPS) was fabricated by shear exfoliation for effective photodetection as a practical assessment. The characterization of this self-powered broadband photodetector demonstrated superior responsivity and specific detectivity in the order of 33 mA W-1 and 9.87 × 1010 cm Hz1/2 W-1, respectively. The PEC photodetector also exhibits a broadband photodetection capability ranging from UV to IR spectrum, with the ultrafast response (∼40 ms) and recovery time (∼50 ms). In addition, the novel few-layered PdPS showed superior sensing ability to organic vapors with ultrafast response and a recovery time of less than 1 s. Finally, the photocatalytic activity in the form of hydrogen evolution reaction was explored due to the suitable band alignment and pronounced light absorption capability. The self-powered sensing platforms and superior catalytic activity will pave the way for practical applications in efficient future devices.

Abstract
Paper offers a low-cost and widely available substrate for electronics. It possesses alternative characteristics to silicon, as it shows low density and high flexibility, together with biodegradability. Solution processable materials, such as hybrid perovskites, also present light and flexible features, together with a huge tunability of the material composition with varying optical properties. In this study, we combine paper substrates with halide-mixed perovskites for the creation of low-cost and easy-to-prepare perovskite-on-paper photodetectors with a broadband-tunable spectral response. From the bandgap tunability of halide-mixed perovskites we create photodetectors with a cut-off spectral onset that ranges from the NIR to the green region, by increasing the bromide content on MAPb(I1-xBrx)3 perovskite alloys. The devices show a fast and efficient response. The best performances are observed for pure I and Br perovskite compositions, with a maximum responsivity of ∼400 mA W-1 on the MAPbBr3 device. This study provides an example of the wide range of possibilities that the combination of solution processable materials with paper substrates offers for the development of low-cost, biodegradable and easy-to-prepare devices.

Abstract
Self-powered photodetectors are of significance for the development of low-energy-consumption and environment-friendly Internet of Things. The performance of semiconductor-based self-powered photodetectors is limited by the low quality of junctions. Here, a novel strategy was proposed for developing high-performance self-powered photodetectors with boosted electrostatic potential. The proposed self-powered ultraviolet (UV) photodetector consisted of an indium tin oxide and titanium dioxide (ITO/TiO2) heterojunction and an electret film (poly tetra fluoroethylene, PTFE). The PTFE layer introduces a built-in electrostatic field to highly enhance the photovoltaic effect, and its high internal resistance greatly reduces the dark current, and thus remarkable performances were achieved. The self-powered UV photodetector with PTFE demonstrated an extremely high on-off ratio of 2.49 × 105, a responsivity of 76.87 mA/W, a response rise time of 7.44 ms, and a decay time of 3.75 ms. Furthermore, the device exhibited exceptional stability from room temperature to 70 °C. Compared with the conventional ITO/TiO2 heterojunction without the PTFE layer, the photoresponse of the detector improved by 442-fold, and the light-dark ratio was increased by 8.40 × 105 times. In addition, the detector is simple, easy to fabricate, and low cost. Therefore, it can be used on a large scale. The electrostatic modulation effect is universal for various types of semiconductor junctions and is expected to inspire more innovative applications in optoelectronic and microelectronic devices.

Abstract
In recent years, optoelectronics and related industries have developed rapidly. As typical optoelectronics devices, photodetectors (PDs) are widely applied in various fields. The functional materials in traditional PDs exhibit high hardness, and the performance of these rigid detectors is thus greatly reduced upon their stretching or bending. Therefore, the development of new flexible PDs with bendable and foldable functions is of great significance and has much interest in wearable, implantable optoelectronic devices. Graphene with excellent electrical and optical performance constructed on various flexible and rigid substrates has great potential in PDs. In this review, recent research progress on graphene-based flexible PDs is outlined. The research states of graphene conductive films are summarized, focusing on PDs based on single-component graphene and mixed-structure graphene, with a systematic analysis of their optical and mechanical performance, and the techniques for optimizing the PDs are also discussed. Finally, a summary of the current applications of graphene flexible PDs and perspectives is provided, and the remaining challenges are discussed.

Abstract
Paper-based photodetectors have attracted extensive research interest owing to their environmentally friendly and highly deformable properties. Although perovskite crystals with outstanding optoelectronic properties have proved to be one of the most promising candidates for photodetectors, the development of paper-based photodetectors is hindered by the moisture absorptivity of paper and the instability of perovskite crystals in a humid atmosphere. In this study, we demonstrate a highly deformable and high-performance paper-based perovskite photodetector. The photodetector maintains its excellent performance even after exposure to a relative humidity of 60% for 120 h.

Abstract
Optoelectronics and sensing devices are of enormous importance in our modern lives, which has propelled the scientific community to explore new two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials to meet the requirements of future devices. Herein, we present the exfoliation of palladium thiophosphate (Pd3(PS4)2) by mechanical shear force exfoliation. The Pd3(PS4)2-based photoelectrochemical (PEC) device demonstrated self-powered broadband photodetection in the range of 385-940 nm with an unprecedented responsivity of 2 A W-1 and a specific detectivity of about 8.67 × 1011 cm Hz1/2 W-1 under the illumination of 420 nm LED light. The crucial parameters such as photoresponsivity, response, and recovery time of the device can be controlled by an externally applied voltage and the analyte concentration. Moreover, Pd3(PS4)2-based vapor-sensing devices exhibited frequency-dependent selective acetone sensing in the presence of other organic vapors with an ultrafast response and a recovery time of less than 1 s. Finally, the photocatalytic activity of Pd3(PS4)2 was revealed, which can be attributed to the presence of an appropriate band alignment with the catalytic activity of Pd. This novel material with the aforementioned fascinating phenomenon will pave the way toward practical future applications in optoelectronics and sensing.

Abstract
Halide perovskites have been employed as photocatalysts for CO2 photoreduction due to their excellent optical properties and unique electronic structure. However, their photocatalytic performance is relatively poor. Herein, we demonstrate a new strategy with Mn-doped CsPb(Br/Cl)3 mixed-halide perovskites as catalysts to enhance the efficiency of CO2 photoreduction. By tuning the content of Mn, a series of CsPb(Br/Cl)3:Mn perovskites are obtained and show high efficiency in CO2 conversion to CO and CH4. For the optimum catalyst sample, especially, the yields of CO and CH4 reach 1917 μmol g-1 and 82 μmol g-1 which are 14.2 and 1.4 times higher than those of CsPbBr3. This work provides new insights into improving the reactivity of perovskites in CO2 photoreduction.

Abstract
Origami, the ancient paper folding art, has been investigated from paper electronics to medical equipment and even spaceflight for its amazingly rich scientific foundation of building a complex three-dimensional (3D) structure, saving space, transmitting force, and establishing a load-bearing structure. Introducing origami into flexible pressure sensing will bring a new function to the planar electrical component. In this paper, a flexible iontronic sensing mechanism, handwriting process, and origami were combined into a pressure sensing platform, providing a handwriting iontronic pressure sensing origami with high performance, customized design, and 3D sensing ability. The handwriting process provides a simple, low-cost, efficient, no equipment limitation, and customized manufacturing method in preparing the pressure sensing origami using one commercial paper, while an ionic-electrode interface can be easily constructed by folding. Moreover, the device integrates the advantages of origami of forming a 3D structure, force transmission, and structural support with the pressure sensing function. Notably, the handwriting iontronic pressure sensing origami offers a high device sensitivity of 1.0 nF/(kPa cm2), a detection limitation of 5.12 Pa, a rapid mechanical response time of 6 ms and a reset time of 4 ms, and an ultrahigh repeatability under periodic pressure. Benefiting from the unique properties of origami and the remarkable performances, the proposed handwriting iontronic pressure sensing origami can be highly advantageous for the emerging applications such as STEM education, customized electronic design, human-machine interfaces, etc., where high performance, rapid prototype, and 3D sensing are required.

Abstract
Photodetectors (PDs), as an indispensable component in electronics, are highly desired to be flexible to meet the trend of next-generation wearable electronics. Unfortunately, no in-depth reviews on the design strategies, material exploration, and potential applications of wearable photodetectors are found in literature to date. Thus, this progress report first summarizes the fundamental design principles of turning "hard" photodetectors "soft," including 2D (polymer and paper substrate-based devices) and 1D PDs (fiber shaped devices). In short, the flexibility of PDs is realized through elaborate substrate modification, material selection, and device layout. More importantly, this report presents the current progress and specific requirements for wearable PDs according to the application: monitoring, imaging, and optical communication. Challenges and future research directions in these fields are proposed at the end. The purpose of this progress report is not only to shed light on the basic design principles of wearable PDs, but also serve as the roadmap for future exploration in wearable PDs in various applications, including health monitoring and Internet of Things.
