Zinc indium sulfide (ZnIn 2 S 4 ): a promising candidate material towards next-gen photodetection

-based photodetectors are systematically introduced by classifying them into photoconductive-type detectors and photodiodes. The primary emphasis is placed on elucidating the fundamental mechanisms responsible for the competitive light-sensing properties. Finally, suggestions for future directions of this rapidly advancing field have been proposed, aiming to navigate upcoming research endeavors in the future.
