摘要
Graphene is attracting much attention in condensed matter physics and material science in the two-dimensional(2D) system due to its special structure, and mechanical and electronic properties. However, the lack of electronic bandgap and uncontrollable phase structure greatly limit its application in semiconductors, such as power conversion devices, optoelectronic devices, transistors, etc. During the past few decades, 2D transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) with much more phase structures have attracted intensive research interest in fundamental studies and practical applications for energy storage, as catalysts, and in piezoelectricity, energy harvesting, electronics, optoelectronic, and spintronics. The controllable phase transition also provides another degree of freedom to pave the way for more novel devices. In this review, we introduce the abundant phase structures of 2D-TMDs, including 2H, 1T, 1T’ and charge density waves, and highlight the corresponding attractive properties and applications of each phase. In addition, all the possible methods to trigger the phase transition in TMDs are systematically introduced, including strain engineering, electron doping, alloying, thermal, electric field, and chemical absorption. Finally, the outlook of future opportunities in TMD phase transitions and the corresponding challenges, including both the synthesis and applications, are also addressed.
