Abstract
Ferroelectricity, which has diverse important applications such as memory elements, capacitors, and sensors, was first discovered in a molecular compound, Rochelle salt, in 1920 by Valasek. Owing to their superiorities of lightweight, biocompatibility, structural tunability, mechanical flexibility, etc., the past decade has witnessed the renaissance of molecular ferroelectrics as promising complementary materials to commercial inorganic ferroelectrics. Thus, on the 100th anniversary of ferroelectricity, it is an opportune time to look into the future, specifically into how to push the boundaries of material design in molecular ferroelectric systems and finally overcome the hurdles to their commercialization. Herein, we present a comprehensive and accessible review of the appealing development of molecular ferroelectrics over the past 10 years, with an emphasis on their structural diversity, chemical design, exceptional properties, and potential applications. We believe that it will inspire intense, combined research efforts to enrich the family of high-performance molecular ferroelectrics and attract widespread interest from physicists and chemists to better understand the structure-function relationships governing improved applied functional device engineering.

Abstract
Photoelectric devices can be so widely used in various detection industries that people began to focus on its research. The research of photoelectric sensors with high performance has become an industry goal. In this paper, we prepared photodetectors using organic–inorganic hybrid semiconductor materials with narrow bandgap hexane-1,6-diammonium pentaiodobismuth (HDA-BiI5) and investigated the detector photoresponse and time-response characteristics under a single light source. The device exhibits high photoresponsivity and fast response time. The photoresponsivity can reach 1.45 × 10−3 A/W and 8.5 × 10−4 A/W under laser irradiation at 375 nm and 532 nm wavelengths, and the rise and decay times are 63 ms and 62 ms, 62 ms and 64 ms, respectively. The device has excellent performance and this work can extend the application of organic–inorganic hybrid semiconductor materials in photovoltaic and photodetectors.
