An electrically modulated single‐/dual‐color imaging photodetector with fast response speed is developed based on a small molecule (COi8DFIC)/perovskite (CH3NH3PbBr3) hybrid film. Owing to the type‐I heterojunction, the device can facilely transform dual‐color images to single‐color images by applying a small bias voltage. The photodetector exhibits two distinct cut‐off wavelengths at ≈544 nm (visible region) and ≈920 nm (near‐infrared region), respectively, without any power supply. Its two peak responsivities are 0.16 A W−1 at ≈525 nm and 0.041 A W−1 at ≈860 nm with a fast response speed (≈102 ns). Under 0.6 V bias, the photodetector can operate in a single‐color mode with a peak responsivity of 0.09 A W−1 at ≈475 nm, showing a fast response speed (≈102 ns). A physical model based on band energy theory is developed to illustrate the origin of the tunable single‐/dual‐color photodetection. This work will stimulate new approaches for developing solution‐processed multifunctional photodetectors for imaging photodetection in complex circumstances.

Four low‐cost copolymer donors of poly(thiophene‐quinoxaline) (PTQ) derivatives are demonstrated with different fluorine substitution forms to investigate the effect of fluorination forms on charge separation and voltage loss (Vloss) of the polymer solar cells (PSCs) with the PTQ derivatives as donor and a A–DA'D–A‐structured molecule Y6 as acceptor. The four PTQ derivatives are PTQ7 without fluorination, PTQ8 with bifluorine substituents on its thiophene D‐unit, PTQ9, and PTQ10 with monofluorine and bifluorine substituents on their quinoxaline A‐unit respectively. The PTQ8‐ based PSC demonstrates a low power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 0.90% due to the mismatch in the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) energy levels alignment between the donor and acceptor. In contrast, the devices based on PTQ9 and PTQ10 show enhanced charge‐separation behavior and gradually reduced Vloss, due to the gradually reduced nonradiative recombination loss in comparison with the PTQ7‐based device. As a result, the PTQ10‐based PSC demonstrates an impressive PCE of 16.21% with high open‐circuit voltage and large short‐circuit current density simultaneously, and its Vloss is reduced to 0.549 V. The results indicate that rational fluorination of the polymer donors is a feasible method to achieve fast charge separation and low Vloss simultaneously in the PSCs.
