Abstract Thanks to their unique optical and electric properties, 2D materials have attracted a lot of interest for optoelectronic applications. Here, the emerging 2D materials, organic–inorganic hybrid perovskites with van der Waals interlayer interaction (Ruddlesden–Popper perovskites), are synthesized and characterized. Photodetectors based on the few‐layer Ruddlesden–Popper perovskite show good photoresponsivity as well as good detectivity. In order to further improve the photoresponse performance, 2D MoS 2 is chosen to construct the perovskite–MoS 2 heterojunction. The performance of the hybrid photodetector is largely improved with 6 and 2 orders of magnitude enhancement for photoresponsivity (10 4 A W −1 ) and detectivity (4 × 10 10 Jones), respectively, which demonstrates the facile charge separation at the interface between perovskite and MoS 2 . Furthermore, the contribution of back gate tuning is proved with a greatly reduced dark current. The results demonstrated here will open up a new field for the investigation of 2D perovskites for optoelectronic applications.
