Abstract The design and fabrication of materials that can concurrently respond to light and gas within the dual‐modal recognition domain present a significant challenge due to contradictory structural requirements. This innovative strategy introduces a type‐I heterojunction, combining the properties of Sb 2 Te 3 and WSe 2 nanosheets, to overcome these obstacles. The heterojunction is prepared through a precise stacking approach to create a single‐side barrier on the valence band and a near‐zero offset on the conduction band. The resulting Sb 2 Te 3 /WSe 2 heterojunction demonstrates unparalleled performance, showcasing the best integrated photoelectric and gas sensing performance in a single device to date. Based on the above features, the heterojunction successfully integrates visual and olfactory sensing performance, achieving the first biomimetic visual‐olfactory dual‐mode recognition in a single device. This simulation increased the accuracy of distinguishing electric and fuel‐powered cars from ≈50% to ≈96%. This work introduces a novel approach to creating efficient, self‐powered sensing materials, paving the way for next‐generation biomimetic dual‐model devices with broad applications in environmental protection, medical care, and other fields.
