Molybdenum diselenide (MoSe2) is a layered transition metal dichalcogenide semiconductor with a hexagonal crystal structure, belonging to the family of two-dimensional (2D) materials that can be exfoliated into atomically thin sheets. It is primarily investigated for next-generation electronics, photonics, and energy storage applications where its direct bandgap and strong light-matter interaction offer advantages over conventional silicon-based devices. MoSe2 is notable for enabling flexible electronics, high-sensitivity photodetectors, and catalytic surfaces for hydrogen evolution, with significant research momentum in monolayer and few-layer form factors where quantum confinement effects enhance performance relative to bulk alternatives.
