Transition Metal Dichalcogenides

Transition Metal Dichalcogenides (TMDs) are a group of layered materials composed of transition metals (like molybdenum or tungsten) bonded to layers of chalcogen elements (such as sulfur or selenium). These materials can be thinned down to a single layer, similar to graphene, resulting in unique electronic, optical, and mechanical properties. TMDs are promising for applications in electronics, photonics, and energy storage because they can conduct electricity, emit light, or act as semiconductors, depending on their composition and structure. Their versatility makes them valuable for developing next-generation devices at the nanoscale.
