[0002] Perovskite materials are gaining more and more attention in optoelectronic devices due to their advantages such as large absorption coefficient, high carrier mobility, and long exciton diffusion length. Photodetectors based on low-dimensional inorganic perovskite materials have good environmental stability in the air and can realize high-sensitivity and fast-response photodetectors; however, as flexible electronic devices become a research hotspot, higher requirements are placed on the low cost, softness, robustness, and excellent and unique optical properties that flexible photodetectors should have, which also reveals the defects in the performance of flexible photodetectors. The main problems faced by flexible photodetectors are: first, high cost and cumbersome preparation process; second, insufficient development of materials for preparing flexible devices; third, they cannot meet the small size and stability requirements of flexible devices; fourth, the application of flexible devices is limited. Therefore, it is necessary to continue to make new breakthroughs in flexible photodetection technology and broaden the various applications of flexible photodetectors.

The flexible ZnO / CsPbBr3 QD photodetector is attached to plant leaves as a flexible device, and the color and height of the LED plant lamp are adjusted to change the light intensity. The light intensity and the law of photocurrent change are determined by combining the change of the photocurrent of the flexible ZnO / CsPbBr3QD photodetector over time, thereby continuously monitoring the light intensity received by plants under different environmental light intensities.

[0041] ZnO nanorods were synthesized by hydrothermal method and grown on flexible ITO / PET substrates, including the following steps:

The mixture was placed in an oil bath at 120°C, magnetically stirred for 1h, heated to 150°C, and stirred for 3h to obtain a cesium oleate solution. At the same time, 0.138g PbBr2 and 10mL octadecene were placed in a 250mL three-necked flask and mixed to obtain a crude solution. The mixture was dried at 120°C for 0.5h using nitrogen as a protective gas. Then, 1mL oleic acid and 1mL oleylamine were quickly injected into the crude solution to obtain a PbBr2 mixed solution. The prepared cesium oleate solution was then preheated at 150°C, and 0.8mL cesium oleate solution was quickly injected into the PbBr2 mixed solution. After reacting for 5s, the three-necked flask was immediately cooled in an ice-water bath to ensure that the crude CsPbBr3 QD solution obtained by the reaction was crystallized. Finally, tert-butanol was added to CsPbBr3 The crude QD solution was centrifuged twice at a speed of 12000 r, 4 min and 8000 r, 4 min, respectively. The supernatant was discarded, and 6 mL of n-hexane was added to the centrifuge tube after purification to make the CsPbBr3 QDs evenly dispersed in the n-hexane solvent to obtain a CsPbBr3 QD dispersion.

[0056] (6) The voltage changes over time under different light intensities were collected by Smacq USB-5000Series DAQ system software, and the current value was calculated using Ohm's law according to the voltage and the resistance value of resistor R, and then the change law of the photocurrent-time characteristic curve monitored by the flexible ZnO / CsPbBr3 QD photodetector was recorded;

[0057] (7) Change the color of the plant LED light (white light, purple light or blue light) and adjust different light power densities to find regular and significant changes in the photocurrent. Then perform data processing and plot to record the experimental law of light intensity and photocurrent changes.
