The widespread implementation and rapid growing development of emerging sensor systems has posed stringent performance requirements on high‐performance photoelectric detection. Therefore, researchers are committed to finding a new kind of semiconductors with faster response time, higher sensitivity, and better stability. Nowadays, anisotropic 2D materials have drawn great attentions in photoelectric detection due to their unique crystal structures and optical absorption properties. These properties make them possible to detect a wide spectrum from ultraviolet to infrared, which provides a good choice for photoelectric detection under complex conditions. Herein, the various anisotropic 2D materials with intriguing physical properties and their device applications for optoelectronic detection are reviewed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
