Abstract

Two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides(TMDCs)have been widely applied in the fields of light, electricity, magnetism, and heat due to their excellent physicochemical properties, including high photoluminescence quantum yield, outstanding thermal conductivity, good mechanical flexibility, and high charge carrier mobility. Tungsten disulfide (WS₂) is a typical TMDCs, and optimizing its crystal structure and achieving high-quality large-area synthesis are of great significance for realizing its large-scale applications. This paper introduces the structure and electronic properties of tungsten disulfide, provides a comprehensive review of its main preparation methods, and summarizes its research progress in various application fields. Finally, the future development directions in the field of two-dimensional materials, including tungsten disulfide, are discussed, emphasizing the importance of further research and development to promote their widespread applications in various fields.
