Abstract

Compounds with heterolayered architecture, as a family of two-dimensional (2D) materials, are composed of alternating positive and negative layers. Their physical properties are determined not only by the charged constituents, but also by the interaction between the two layers. This kind of material has been widely used for superconductivity, thermoelectricity, energy storage, In recent years, heterolayered compounds have been found as an encouraging choice for infrared photodetectors with high sensitivity, fast response, and remarkable reliability. In this review, we summarize the research progress of heterolayered materials for infrared photodetectors. A simple development history of the materials with three-dimensional (3D) or 2D structures, which are suitable for infrared photodetectors, is introduced firstly. Then, we compare the differences between van der Waals layered 2D materials and heterolayered 2D cousins and explain the advantages of heterolayered 2D compounds. Finally, we present our perspective on the future direction of heterolayered 2D materials as an emerging class of materials for infrared photodetectors.
