The research on two-dimensional materials has gained significant traction due to their potential for thermoelectric, optical, and other properties. The development of two-dimensional (2D) nanostructured-based TE generators and photodetectors has shown promising results. Over the years, researchers have played a crucial role in advancing this field, enhancing the properties of 2D materials through techniques such as doping, alloying, and various growth methods. Among these materials, black phosphorus, transition metal dichalcogenides, graphene, and IVA-VIA compounds stand out for their remarkable electronic, mechanical, and optical properties. This study presents a comprehensive review of the progress in the field, focusing on IVA-VIA compounds and their applications in TE and photodetector technologies. We summarize recent advancements in enhancing these materials' TE and optical properties and provide an overview of various synthesis techniques for their fabrication. Additionally, we highlight their potential applications as photodetectors in the infrared spectrum. This comprehensive review aims to equip researchers with a deep understanding of the TE and optical properties of 2DMs and their potential applications and to inspire further advancements in this field of research.
