semiconductor is used as a photosensitive layer, the Bayer filter (color filter) is no longer needed; therefore, the light sensitivity of an organic CMOS photodetector consisting of such a photosensitive layer increases. [10] The panchromatic one is aimed at the applications in which a fullarea wavelength detection is required, for instance, the X-ray flat panel detector. [11] In these detectors, a thin-film transistor (TFT) array is used, which is located beneath a scintillation layer and consists of a photosensitive layer that absorbs visible light.Several studies have worked on developing active layers, [5,12,[13][14][15][16][17][18] electron-transporting layers, hole-transporting layers (HTLs), [19][20][21] and their combinations to achieving a high-efficiency OPD device. A top-illuminated device structure is required to prevent the blocking of light by the TFT array and to maximize the fill factor in the image sensor. An inverted device stack is also considered because it is reported to be more stable than the "normal" structure. [17,22] In an inverted stack, the HTL located between the active layer and the anode plays a vital role in dark current reduction and photogenerated carrier extraction. This layer should be selected carefully considering its band alignment with the active layer and electrode, as well as its compatibility with low-temperature processing, due to the thermal fraggle of the underlying organic layer. Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-poly(styrenesulfonate) PEDOT:PSS [9,23] and other inorganic semiconducting oxides (MoO 3 , [19] WO 3 , [19,24] NiO x , [25][26][27] and V 2 O 5 , [28] ) are widely used as HTLs in OPDs. Among these, evaporated MoO 3 is widely used in inverted OPDs.Recently, delafossite metal oxides wih the general formula ABO 2 (A = monovalent ions and B = trivalent ions) such as CuCrO 2 , [29,30] CuCaO 2 , [31] and CuAlO 2 , [32] have been used as potentially inorganic HTLs for the development of inexpensive, sustainable, and efficient solar cells. CuCrO 2 (CCO) is particularly attractive owing to its high conductivity, low cost, and easy of processing. [29,33,34] Theoretical calculations and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) studies show that intrinsic CCO conduction is through a Cu I /Cu II mixed-valence hole mechanism. [35,36] Akin et al. used hydrothermally processed CCO nanoparticles as the hole-transporting material for inverted perovskite solar cells and achieved a power conversion efficiency (PCE) beyond 22%. [37] Zhang et al. reported CCO to be an efficient HTL material for organic-inorganic In this study, p-type delafossite CuCrO 2 nanomaterials are synthesized via a one-step hydrothermal reaction. An organic photodiode (OPD) with an inverted stack is fabricated by utilizing such CuCrO 2 as the hole-transporting layer. The single OPD device shows the dark current density of 6.48 × 10 −8 A cm −2 , and an external quantum efficiency of 16.2% at a 525 nm illumination, and a −5 V bias. Its responsivity and detectivity are 68.5 mA W −1 and 4.75 × 10 11 cm Hz 1/2 W ...
