Co-localized crosstalk-free multiband organic photodetectors for wearable optoelectronics

초록/요약

Multiband organic photodetectors (OPDs) offer a compact route to multifunctional wearable sensing, yet achieving crosstalk-free operation in mechanically compliant stacked architectures is fundamentally limited by trade-offs between spectral selectivity and device efficiency. Here, we report ultra-flexible, co-localized OPDs that mitigate this trade-off and enable crosstalk-free multiband sensing in a skin-conformal platform. By separating spectral selectivity from carrier extraction and employing a composition-optimized photomultiplication effect, the device achieves a crosstalk-free spectral window of 115 nm, together with responsivities of 0.23 A/W at λ = 680 nm for the bottom subcell and 0.44 A/W at λ = 920 nm for the top subcell. Minimizing device thickness enables stable operation under 66% compressive strain and bending radii down to 7 μm, with negligible degradation over 1000 cycles. The devices exhibit detectivities up to 1.12×1011 Jones and bandwidths of 71.7 kHz, enabling motion-robust SpO2 monitoring and dual-channel optical communication over 100 m.
