Abstract

Molybdenum disulfide quantum dots (MoS₂ QDs) are a unique class of zero-dimensional (0D) van der Waals nanostructures. MoS₂ QDs have attracted significant attention due to their unique optical, electronic, chemical, and biological properties due to the presence of edge states of these van der Waals QDs for various chemical functionalization. Their novel properties have enabled applications in many fields, including advanced electronics, electrocatalysis, and biomedicine. In this review, the various synthesis techniques, the novel properties, and the wide applications of MoS₂ quantum dots are discussed in detail.
