Abstract

Graphene nanowalls (GNWs) have emerged as a promising material in the field of photodetection, thanks to their exceptional optical, electrical, mechanical, and thermodynamic properties. However, the lack of a comprehensive review in this domain hinders the understanding of GNWs' development and potential applications. This review aims to provide a systematic summary and analysis of the current research status and challenges in GNW-based photodetectors. We begin by outlining the growth mechanisms and methods of GNWs, followed by a discussion on their physical properties. Next, we categorize and analyze the latest research progress in GNW photodetectors, focusing on photovoltaic, photoconductive, and photothermal detectors. Lastly, we offer a summary and outlook, identifying potential challenges and outlining industry development directions. This review serves as a valuable reference for researchers and industry professionals in understanding and exploring the opportunities of GNW materials in photodetection.
