摘要
Soft molecule-based ferroelectrics with unique structural flexibility hold apromise for versatile applications of non-volatile memory, imaging and photovoltaicdevices. Except for few polymers (e.g., polyvinylidene fluoride, PVDF),it is challenging to exploit soft ferroelectric crystals toward free-standing flexiblephotoactive devices. We here report a multiaxial soft molecule-based ferroelectric,(n-PA)_(2)PbCl_(4) (1, where n-PA^(+)is n-pentylammonium), of whichspontaneous polarization can be reversibly switched in both crystal and powderforms. Strikingly, single crystals of 1 have unusual structural flexibility andbendability, achieving the self-standing bending with a bending radius of0.22 mm. Besides, the pyroelectric activities are also preserved for these singlecrystals after several bending cycles. Further, the bendable crystal-basedphotodetector of 1 allows broadband photoactivities via the photo-pyroelectriceffect, covering a wide range from 405 to 940 nm spectral region, breakingthrough the limit of optical absorption bandgap. As the first study of bendablefree-standing photo-pyroelectric detectors in ferroelectric crystals, our worksheds light on the assembly of flexible smart photoelectric devices.
