The mechanical stripping method prepared the 2H-phase α-In₂Se₃ (α-In₂Se₃(2H)) nanosheets. The structure and ferroelectric properties of the nanosheets were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, spherical aberration electron microscopy, and piezoelectric force microscopy. The nanosheets were identified as α-In₂Se₃(2H) ferroelectric materials with a special structure. Further, a planar four-terminal device based on α-In₂Se₃ (2H) ferroelectricity was successfully constructed on the SiO₂/Si substrate, and its photoresponse in all directions was investigated in detail. The results show that α-In₂Se₃(2H) with intrinsic structure has no photoresponse in both mutually perpendicular directions. After applying voltages at each end of the device, the α-In₂Se₃(2H) device shows obvious photoresponse in the mutually perpendicular directions. In particular, after utilizing a point voltage close to the direction of the easy polarization axis, the α-In₂Se₃(2H) device shows an anisotropic photoresponse.
