The discovery of graphene marks a major event in the physics and chemistry of materials. The amazing properties of this two-dimensional (2D) material have prompted research on other 2D layered materials, of which layered transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) are important members. Single-layer and few-layer TMDCs have been synthesized and characterized. They possess a wide range of properties many of which have not been known hitherto. A typical example of such materials is MoS 2 . In this article, we briefly present various aspects of layered analogues of graphene as exemplified by TMDCs. The discussion includes not only synthesis and characterization, but also various properties and phenomena exhibited by the TMDCs. This article is part of the themed issue ‘Fullerenes: past, present and future, celebrating the 30th anniversary of Buckminster Fullerene’.

Electrochemical Energy

Two-dimensional-layered transition metal dichalcogenides (2D-layered TMDs) are a chemically diverse class of compounds having variable band gaps and remarkable electrochemical properties, which make them potential materials for applications in the field of electrochemical energy. To date, 2D-layered TMDs have been wildly used in water-splitting systems, dye-sensitized solar cells, supercapacitors, and some catalysis systems, etc., and the pertinent devices exhibit good performances. However, several reports have also indicated that the active sites for catalytic reaction are mainly located on the edge sites of 2D-layered TMDs, and their basal plane shows poor activity toward catalysis reaction. Accordingly, many studies have reported various approaches, namely active-site engineering, to address this issue, including plasma treatment, edge site formation, heteroatom-doping, nano-sized TMD pieces, highly curved structures, and surface modification via nano-sized catalyst decoration, etc. In this article, we provide a short review for the active-site engineering on 2D-layered TMDs and their applications in electrochemical energy. Finally, the future perspectives for 2D-layered TMD catalysts will also be briefly discussed.
