In article number 1703044 , Sang‐Jae Kim and co‐workers demonstrate a flexible ZnO photodetector based on unique microarchitectural influences (e.g., microwire, coral‐like microstrip, and fibril‐like clustered microwire). The photodetector has the capability to detect the broadband spectrum in the UV/visible range. The behavior of the electrical transport characteristics is determined through conceptual realization of the external strain induced piezo‐phototronic effect. This work paves the way for the development of next generation self‐powered optoelectronic integrated devices and switches.
