Infrared photodetectors play a crucial role in various applications, from military infrared guidance to medical imaging. However, traditional photothermoelectric (PTE) photodetectors often lack mechanical flexibility and cannot operate independently without external instruments. Now, researchers from Xi’an Jiaotong University and Tsinghua University, led by Professor Huajing Fang and Professor He Tian, have developed a novel flexible PTE photodetector capable of dual-mode output, combining electrical and optical signal generation. Their findings, published in Nano-Micro Letters , demonstrate a significant advancement in human–machine collaborative infrared imaging.
