Applications

Two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have attracted increasing attention owing to their diverse properties ranging from insulator to metal and promising for a wide range of applications. TMDs and their 2D van der Waals heterostructures have been proposed and demonstrated in various applications, such as electronics, optoelectronics, photonics and photovoltaics.

Zirconium Disulfide (ZrS₂) is a transparent semiconducting TMD with an indirect band gap of 1.28 eV. In addition it has an empty d valence band, good thermodynamic stability and is environmentally friendly. The memory/switching effect and high solar energy conversion efficiency are well-known properties of ZrS₂. In recent years, researchers have been studying it as a promising candidate material for light detectors, solar cells, photo-catalysts, Li-ion batteries and lubricant additives due to its graphene-like structure.
