Molybdenum diselenide (MoSe₂) is a transition metal dichalcogenide compound featuring molybdenum bonded to selenium in a layered crystal structure. This material has emerged as a high-potential semiconductor and catalyst in electrochemistry and energy applications, notably as an alternative to precious-metal catalysts in hydrogen evolution reactions and as a component in photovoltaic and optoelectronic devices. Its indirect bandgap, strong light absorption, and tunable electronic properties make it valuable for researchers developing next-generation energy conversion systems and 2D material-based technologies where performance and cost compete with traditional catalysts like platinum.
