The review emphasizes the importance of several properties like charge transfer processes, surface interactions and structural dynamics. The interaction between TMDs and target molecules leads to necessary modifications that influence the sensor's output signal, including defect formation, doping effects and bandgap adjustments (ranging from 1 to 2 eV). Additionally, the review investigates other critical parameters that enhance sensor performance, like the number of TMD layers, functionalization methods and various chemical and physical environments. These factors can significantly improve selectivity by up to 200% and decrease response times to just a few milliseconds. To further enhance the sensitivity, selectivity and stability of TMD-based sensors, reproducibility and other relevant parameters are also discussed in light of recent advancements.
