Transition Metal Dichalcogenides (TMDs) is a semiconductor material made by combining two or more transition metals with significantly different physical or chemical properties such as molybdenum (Mo) or tungsten (W). It is worth highlighting that there are more than 40 different categories of TMD each with unique properties. These materials are characterized by their electronic, optical, and mechanical properties make them suitable for applications in electronics, optoelectronics, and energy storage. Recently, Narendar Modi, Prime Minister of India mentioned you are exactly where you need to be at this moment. In 21st-century India, the situation is always favorable for semiconductor chips. Our nation now reassures the world that when challenges arise, you can rely on India.

The global transition metal dichalcogenides market is expected to grow significantly over the forecast period due to the rapid industrialization in emerging economies like China and India. Additionally, some of the TMD innovation and advancements in manufacturing include chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and electrochemical exfoliation, which allow for high-yield production of monolayer TMD nanosheets at room temperature.

Additionally growing environmental concerns regarding wastewater hazards have motivated authorities and regulatory bodies across various nations to mandate the bio-based precursors in the manufacturing process, while maintaining material quality. For example, in July 2024, Researchers at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) in the US developed a mixed dimensionality trilayer of semiconductors that enabled ultrafast charge transfer, inspired by photosynthesis. This trilayer architecture, which incorporated transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) like MoS₂ and WS₂.
