Differing from its bulk counterparts, atomically thin two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides that show strong interaction with light are considered as new candidates for optoelectronic devices. Either physical or chemical strategies can be utilized to effectively tune the intrinsic electronic structures for adopting optoelectronic applications. This review will focus on the different tuning strategies that include its physics principles, in situ experimental techniques, and its application of various optoelectronic devices.
