“…These novel properties promote the exploration of new methods to prepare the low-dimensional TMDs. Numerous methods are available for their synthesis—mechanical exfoliation [ 30 , 31 ], solution-based exfoliation [ 29 , 32 , 33 , 34 ], Li-intercalation exfoliation [ 35 , 36 ], laser and plasma-induced thinning [ 37 , 38 ], hydrothermal method [ 39 , 40 ] chemical vapor deposition (CVD) [ 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 , 46 , 47 , 48 , 49 , 50 ], annealing of the (NH 4 ) 2 MoS 4 precursor [ 51 , 52 ], chemical vapor transport [ 53 , 54 ], and so on. Driven by advanced preparation methods and increased research interests, applications based on low-dimensional TMDs have enabled scientists to conquer the appealing properties of these materials.…”
