“…In the past few years, 2D nanomaterials have received tremendous attention and been applied in various fields due to their fantastic physical and chemical properties 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. As an analogue of 2D graphene, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs), generally described as the formula MX 2 , in which M is the transition metal from groups 4–10 of the periodic table and X is a chalcogen (S, Se, or Te), have attracted great interests due to their rich electronic, optical, mechanical, and chemical properties 4, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13.…”
