The piezo-phototronic effect has been promising as an effective means to improve the performance of two-dimensional (2D) semiconductor based optoelectronic devices. However, the current reported monolayer 2D semiconductors are not regarded as suitable for actual flexible piezotronic photodetectors due to their insufficient optical absorption and mechanical durability, although they possess strong piezoelectricity. In this work, we demonstrate that, unlike 2H-phase transition-metal dichalcogenides, gamma-phase InSe with a hexagonal unit cell possesses broken inversion symmetry in all the layer numbers and has a strong second-harmonic generation effect. Moreover, driven by the piezo-phototronic effect, a flexible self-powered photodetector based on multilayer gamma-InSe, which can work without any energy supply, is proposed. The device exhibited ultrahigh photon responsivity of 824 mA/W under light illuminations of 400 nm (0.368 mW/cm(2)). Moreover, the responsivity and response speed of this photodetector were enhanced further by as much as 696% and 1010%, respectively, when a 0.62% uniaxial tensile strain was applied. Our devices exhibit high reliability and stability during a 6 month test time. These significant findings offer a promising pathway to construct high-performance flexible piezo-phototronic photodetectors based on multilayer 2D semiconductors.
