“…The demand for highly effective, sensitive, broadband, large-area flexible, and wearable-type photodetectors has grown significantly in the current era of rapid technological development. − These photodetectors are essential in a variety of applications, including optical communication, environmental monitoring, astronomical observations, military applications, image sensing, and biomedical imaging. − Owing to developments in material science, nanotechnology, and device engineering, photodetectors have seen substantial advances in recent years in terms of design, manufacturing, and characterization. − Examples include low-dimensional material-based detectors, hybrid organic–inorganic devices, various metal-doped devices, heterostructure-based devices, and integrated photonic structures. − Two-dimensional (2D) materials became important after the discovery of graphene. Borophene, Boron nitrides, and MXenes are other examples of the 2D materials family. − Owing to its excellent characteristics and optical and electrical properties, two-dimensional (2D) transition-metal chalcogenides (TMC) have recently caught the attention of researchers studying optoelectronic devices.…”
