Abstract

Atomically thin semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) layered materials have recently been emerged as an exciting area of research due to accessibility for easy synthesis using various chemical and physical methods. These two-dimensional (2D) layered materials with single layer have direct and wide band gap due to which, they are more suitable for nanoelectronics and optoelectronics device applications. Here, we present a review of the energy related aspects of atomically thin layered materials like MoS2, WS2, MoSe2, WSe2, InSe, GaSe, GaTe, MoTe2, WTe2 etc. for supercapacitor, solar cell, lithium ion battery and water splitting application. By significantly assessing various materials and comparing their performances with challenging technology, the advantages and disadvantages of this promising area of energy materials are recognized, which may provide guidelines for future progress.
