{Abstract}: Despite the advancement of the Internet of Things (IoT) and portable devices, the development of zero-biased sensing systems for the dual detection of light and gases remains a challenge. As an emerging technology, direct energy conversion driven by intriguing physical properties of two-dimensional (2D) materials can be realized in nanodevices or a zero-biased integrated system. In this study, we unprecedentedly attempted to exploit the photostimulated pyrothermoelectric coupling of two-dimensional SnSe for use in zero-biased multimodal transducers for the dual detection of light and gases. We synthesized homogeneous, large-area 6 in SnSe multilayers via a rational synthetic route based on the thermal decomposition of a solution-processed single-source precursor. Zero-biased SnSe transducers for the dual monitoring of light and gases were realized by exploiting the synergistic coupling of the photostimulated pyroelectric and thermoelectric effects of SnSe. The extracted photoresponsivity at 532 nm and NO2 gas responsivity of the SnSe-based transducers corresponded to 1.07 × 10-6 A/W and 13263.6% at 0 V, respectively. To bring universal applicability of the zero-biased SnSe transducers, the wide operation bandwidth photoelectrical properties (visible to NIR) and dynamic current responses toward two NO2/NH3 gases were systematically evaluated.
