Recent years have seen a notable increase in interest in tin diselenide (SnSe2) photodetectors because of their outstanding performance and wide range of optoelectronic applications. It offers a thorough analysis of the developments in SnSe2 photodetector technology, highlighting the shift from conventional photodetectors to flexible, self-powered devices. SnSe2 is a material that shows promise for photodetection, including its distinct electrical structure, high carrier mobility, and remarkable photodetection skills. The creation of several SnSe2-based photodetector designs and their performance attributes, such as responsivity, detectivity, and reaction time, are then covered in detail. It spends a good deal of time talking about the new wave of self-powered photodetectors, which use the natural electrical energy creation of SnSe2 to do away with external power sources. SnSe2's promise for wearable and conformable electronics is highlighted by the exploration of its incorporation into flexible device platforms. The uses of SnSe2 photodetectors in a variety of industries, such as environmental sensing, communication, and imaging, highlight how these devices are progressing technology and opening up new possibilities. It delineates the current constraints and potential avenues for further studies on SnSe2 photodetectors, emphasising the improvement of device functionality, scalability, and useful incorporation into commercial and industrial uses.
