• Due to its portable and self-powered characteristics, the construction of Ga2O3-based semiconductor flexible devices that can improve the adaptability in various complex environments have drawn great attention in recent decades. However, conventional Ga2O3-based flexible heterojunctions are based on either amorphous or poor crystalline Ga2O3 materials, which severely limit the performance of the corresponding devices. Here, through lattice-symmetry and energy-band alignment engineering, we construct a high-quality crystalline flexible NiO/β-Ga2O3 p-n self-powered photodetector. Owing to its suitable energy-band alignment structure, the device shows a high photo-to-dark current ratio (1.71 × 105) and a large detection sensitivity (6.36 × 1014 Jones) under zero bias, which is superior than most Ga2O3 self-powered photodetectors even for those based on rigid substrates. Moreover, the fabricated photodetectors further show excellent mechanical stability and robustness in bending conditions, demonstrating their potential practical applications in flexible optoelectronic devices. These findings provide insights into the manipulation of crystal lattice and energy band engineering in flexible self-powered photodetectors and also offer guideline for designing other Ga2O3-based flexible electronic devices.Due to its portable and self-powered characteristics, the construction of Ga2O3-based semiconductor flexible devices that can improve the adaptability in various complex environments have drawn great attention in recent decades.
