description Herein, we reported a unique photo device consisting of monolayer graphene and a few-layer rhenium diselenide (ReSe<sub>2</sub>) heterojunction. The prepared Gr/ReSe<sub>2</sub>-HS demonstrated an excellent mobility of 380 cm<sup>2</sup>/Vs, current on/off ratio ~ 10<sup>4</sup>, photoresponsivity (R ~ 74 AW<sup>−1</sup> @ 82 mW cm<sup>−2</sup>), detectivity (D<sup>*</sup> ~ 1.25 × 10<sup>11</sup> Jones), external quantum efficiency (EQE ~ 173%) and rapid photoresponse (rise/fall time ~ 75/3 µs) significantly higher to an individual ReSe<sub>2</sub> device (mobility = 36 cm<sup>2</sup> V<sup>−1</sup>s<sup>−1</sup>, Ion/Ioff ratio = 1.4 × 10<sup>5</sup>–1.8 × 10<sup>5</sup>, R = 11.2 AW<sup>−1</sup>, D* = 1.02 × 10<sup>10</sup>, EQE ~ 26.1%, rise/fall time = 2.37/5.03 s). Additionally, gate-bias dependent Schottky barrier height (SBH) estimation for individual ReSe<sub>2</sub> (45 meV at V<sub>bg</sub> = 40 V) and Gr/ReSe<sub>2</sub>-HS (9.02 meV at V<sub>bg</sub> = 40 V) revealed a low value for the heterostructure, confirming dry transfer technique to be successful in fabricating an interfacial defects-free junction. In addition, HS is fully capable to demonstrate an excellent gas sensing response with rapid response/recovery time (39/126 s for NO<sub>2</sub> at 200 ppb) and is operational at room temperature (26.85 °C). The proposed Gr/ReSe<sub>2</sub>-HS is capable of demonstrating excellent electro-optical, as well as gas sensing, performance simultaneously and, therefore, can be used as a building block to fabricate next-generation photodetectors and gas sensors.
