Abstract 2D halide perovskites have attracted significant attention in photodetectors due to their inherent stability and outstanding optoelectronic properties. Owing to strong quantum confinement effects in low‐ n phases ( n < 5), pure Pb‐based 2D perovskites typically exhibit large bandgaps (> 1.6 eV), limiting their photodetection to the ultraviolet–visible region and leading to insufficient near‐infrared (NIR) response. In the present work, the 2D PEA 2 FA 4 Pb 5 I 16 perovskite with superior crystallinity, a thicker perovskite absorption layer, and suppressed n = 2 phase presence, is fabricated via a thermal regulation method, enabling the development of a self‐power, high‐sensitivity NIR photodetector. The 2D perovskite photodetector exhibits excellent operational characteristics, including an extremely low noise current of less than 3 pA Hz −1/2 , and a high on/off switching ratio of up to 2 × 10 5 . A notable responsivity of 0.325 A W −1 at 800 nm is achieved. Consequently, the 2D perovskite photodetector is capable of successfully acquiring high‐resolution images under weak NIR illumination (0.1 µW cm −2 ). These findings accentuate the tremendous potential of 2D perovskites in NIR weak light imaging, such as autonomous driving, machine vision, medical diagnostics, and other emerging fields.
