“…The opportunities of developing MoS 2 -based van der Waal heterostructures with other 2D materials, such as graphene, h -BN, phosphorene, MoSe 2 , MoTe 2 , WS 2 , WSe 2 , WTe 2 , HfS 2 , ZrS 2 , FeS 2 , FeSe 2 , TiS 2 , TaS 2 , TaSe 2 , PtTe 2 , NiSe 2 , NbSe 2 , CoS 2 , CoSe 2 , SnSe, SnS 2 , GaTe, Janus TMDs, inorganic and organic materials, and vice versa, are enormous, and represent the future direction of atomically thin layered TMDs. The daily surge in research activities on 2D TMDs is unprecedented, as researchers seek their new applications in CMOS, sensors, − catalysis, − energy devices, − solar cells , miRNA detection, lasers, light-emission, , and cancer imaging and therapy. − For practical applications, it is also equally important to examine the long-term environmental and mechanical stability of the electronic devices, as well as the cytotoxicity of atomic-layered TMDs toward human. − TMDs are emerging as the future generation of multifunctional and wearable nanomaterials, as an alternative to the currently available costly semiconductors used in the electronic and optoelectronic industries. Flexible atomically thin layered TMDs offer tremendous new opportunities for applications in many different research fields.…”
