1. Layer-dependent Raman spectroscopy and Lorentzian analysis During experiments, we have measured the Raman spectra of ReSe 2 nanosheets with the thickness of 1~12 layers. As shown in Figure S1a and b, when the thickness increases, the peak position slightly shifts towards smaller wavenumber (within 2 cm -1 ). Due to the weak interlayer coupling, the shift is not as prominent as in other TMDs such as MoS 2. 1 To minimize the contribution of shear mode and extrinsic effects like defects, a careful Lorenzian lineshape fitting 2,3 was performed to the Raman signals to determine the peak positions and peak intensities. Also, all the measurements were performed under the same condition, i.e., the same laser wavelength (532nm), power density and integration time, to avoid possible influence of the peak position by the thermal effect 4 induced by the laser. a b 3 c 1 15 2 25 3 Wavenumber (cm -1 ) 125 15 175 2 Raman shift(cm -1 ) Layers 1 2 3 5 8 1 12 115 2 4 6 8 1 12 Figure S1.

Details of angular-dependent polarized Raman measurements on ReSe 2 The observed scattered light intensity for active Raman vibrational modes is denoted by the equation, 5, (1) where R is the Raman tensor of a given mode, e i and e s are the polarization vectors of the incident and scattered light, respectively. With the incident light perpendicular to the sample layer plane, the Raman tensor of ReSe 2 can be written as, 6 The transformation of the Raman tensor is where A and A T are rotation matrices, =. (2) =, (3) α α = α α, α α =. (4) α α α is the angle of the vibration of the incident light polarization direction to the sample edge.

3. Identification of crystalline orientation and anisotropic field-effect mobilities From the angular-dependent Raman spectra measurement, we find that the peak 124cm -1 always displays a maximum intensity when the polarization direction of incident laser is parallel to one of the edges of sample (Figure S2a). Based on the pervious report, 6 we can confirm that this edge is the b-axis of the crystal. Using this method, we conclude that our CVD synthesized samples always crystalize with well-defined edges parallel to b-axis or a-axis (Figure 1b). Also, from the angular-dependent electrical measurements (Figure S3), the maximum value of two-terminal field-effect mobility occurs when the electric field is parallel to b-axis while the minimum mobility is developed when parallel to a-axis. This is consistent with the previous study based on bulk materials. 8,9 We also performed ab-initio calculations to acquire the room temperature carrier mobilities along the a and b-axes of ReSe 2. For 2D materials, the carrier mobility (µ) can be calculated by: 1 μ= 2 ħ 3 where C is the elastic modulus defined as = /, in which E is the total energy of the system, and δ is the applied uniaxial strain, and A is the area of the optimized 2D structure. m * is the effective mass in the transport direction and it is (1) given by = ħ (in which ħ is the Planck s constant and k is the magnitude of the wave-vector in momentum space), T is the temperature, and E 1 is the deformation 7

potential constant, which is proportional to the band edge shift induced by the strain. E 1 is defined as E=E 1 ( l/l ), in which E is the energy shift of the band edge position with respect to the lattice dilation l/l along the direction of the a or b-axis.

9. Activation energy extraction of the ReSe 2 nanosheet. As depicted in Figure S9a, at the high temperature regime (1~3 K), the activation energy can be obtained through fitting the temperature-dependent G to the thermally activated equation, 11,12 =, (8) where E a is the activation energy, k B is the Boltzmann constant and G is a constant. The activation energy E a corresponds to the energy needed to activate the charge carriers at the Fermi energy into the conduction band. As shown in Figure S9b, the extracted E a becomes smaller as the Fermi level moves towards the conduction band at higher V BG. Also, we note that the 2D variable range hopping model 12 provides an excellent description for the electrical transport of ReSe 2 at 3-3 K, σ exp. (9) The extracted T under different V BG is summarized in Figure S9d, which is consistent with the T values in MoS 2 and ReS 2. 13,14 13

14. Photocurrent generation mechanism in ReSe 2 photodetectors. There are three main types of photocurrent generation mechanisms in layered materials based photodetectors: photoconductive effect, photovoltaic effect and photo-thermoelectric effect. 16 A typical feature of the photo thermoelectric current is the localized photoresponse near the electrodes and a zero current crossover around the channel. 15 As shown in Figure S15b, when V DS <.5 V, there is a zero current crossover around the channel, indicating that the photo thermoelectric effect is dominating the photocurrent generating process. 15 When V DS.5 V, the current directions from the entire channel and near the electrodes are the same, suggesting that the device works beyond the photo-thermoelectric regime. Typically for the photoconductive effect, a main signature is the linear increase of photocurrent with the incident layer power, 17. While for the photovoltaic effect, the increase of photocurrent with the P IN follows the relation 18,19, <1. By fitting the power law to the I PH and P IN curve, we can extract the η values under different V BG. As shown in Figure S16d, utilizing V BG, we can tune the dominant photocurrent generation effect from the photoconductive effect (positive V BG, η~1) to the photovoltaic effect (negative V BG, η<1 ) due to the tuning of the Fermi level by the V BG (Inset of Figure S16d).Note that both the photoresponsivity and the external quantum efficiency (EQE)(Inset of Figure S16a) of our device is lower than the previous studies 2,21 being measured in O 2 and NH 3 atmosphere, where ReSe 2 channel can absorbed a large amount of O 2 and NH 3 molecules, leading to the increase of the carrier density and higher photoresponsivity and EQE of the 19

photodetector 16,22. Figure S15. Photocurrent mapping of the device under different V DS. (a) A schematic plot of the photocurrent measurement system.

(d) Extracted η as a function of V BG, η~1 at negative V BG while η<1 at positive V BG. Inset, a schematic band diagram of the device at bias voltage V DS =1V under V BG =3 V and V BG =-3 V, respectively. The barrier between the channel and electrodes becomes larger as the V BG tunes the Fermi level of the ReSe 2 channel from the hole regime to the election regime, which changes the dominant photocurrent generation effect from the photoconductive (positive V BG, η~1) to the photovoltaic effect (negative V BG, η<1 ).
