Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) materials have expansive application prospects in electronics and optoelectronics devices due to their unique physical and chemical properties. 2D layered materials are easy to prepare due to the layered crystal structure and the interlayer van der Waals combination. However, the 2D nonlayered materials are difficult to prepare due to the nonlayered crystal structure and the combination of interlayer isotropic chemical bonds, resulting in limited research on 2D nonlayered materials with broad characteristics. Here, a 2D nonlayered NiSe material has been synthesized by a chemical vapor deposition method. The atomic force microscopy study shows that the grown NiSe with a thin thickness. Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy results demonstrate the uniformity and high quality of NiSe flakes. The NiSe based photodetector realizes the laser response to 830 nm and 10.6 μm and the maximum responsivity is ~6.96 A/W at room temperature. This work lays the foundation for the preparation of 2D nonlayered materials and expands the application of 2D nonlayered materials in optoelectronics fields.
