A flexible, multicolor detector based on stacked perovskite layers with graded band gaps was presented. Different perovskite layers generate a series of photocurrents corresponding to light intensities at different wavelengths. Experimentally, the flexible detector demonstrated acceptable long-term stability and temperature stability in the bending state. To demonstrate the advantages of the flexible multicolor detector in biological applications, a tubular-shaped multicolor fluorescence detector that embraces the sample cell was constructed. As a result, the detection limits of three kinds of CdTe quantum dots (QDs) with central wavelengths of 545, 625, and 730 nm were 0.52, 0.85, and 0.43 nM, respectively, which was significantly improved by more than 10 times compared to those of planar detectors. Additionally, the detector was able to detect three kinds of QDs simultaneously in a mixed solution, and the relative deviation was smaller than 10% compared to the preset concentration. These results demonstrate that the flexible stacked perovskite detector and the tubular-shaped detection configuration hold promise for the simultaneous fluorescent detection of multiple biomolecules.
