Quasi-2D perovskites have been demonstrated to be competitive materials in the photodetection fields due to the enhanced moisture stability by large organic cations. However, as the increasing demands of modern technology, it is still challenging to combine the flexibility with the capability of weak light detection in a low-cost way. Here, amides, carboxylic acids, and anhydrides groups-rich carbonized polymer dots (CPDs) were employed to fill in the perovskite grain boundaries, which can passivate the point defects of perovskite by coordinating with the unbonded Pb atoms, and reduce the leakage current. Weak light detection capability was demonstrated by directly resolving light with an intensity of 10.1 pW cm-2. More importantly, the stretchable polymer chains on CPDs strongly interact with perovskite ions through multiple supramolecular interactions, and extend the stretchable properties to the perovskite/CPDs composites, which can maintain the integral structure stability during the deformation of perovskite crystals and restricted any crack by releasing the film strain. Our fabricated devices show extraordinary flexible stability in the bending-dependent response tests. The viscoelasticity of CPDs improves the bending stability of the flexible quasi-2D perovskite photodetectors, and device performance shows no degradation after bending 10000 times, comparable or even outperforming the dominating flexible photodetectors.
