Micrometer-sized single-crystal GeSe nanosheets have been synthesized by a solution method. The single GeSe nanosheet exhibits novel anisotropic photoresponse properties in two photodetectors based on individual nanosheet. The on/off switching ratio of the photodetector perpendicular to the nanosheet is 3.5 times higher than that parallel to the nanosheet.
