We investigate herein the four most widely considered TMD materials: MoS2, MoSe2, WS2 and WSe2. A 2H → 1T phase transition occurs during the chemical exfoliation with different efficiencies among the four materials.

Conducting MoS₂ nanosheets as catalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction.
TLDR
By partially oxidizingMoS2, it is found that the activity of 2H MoS2 is significantly reduced after oxidation, consistent with edge oxidation, and 1T MoS 2 remains unaffected after oxidization, suggesting that edges of the nanosheets are not the main active sites.

Identification of Active Edge Sites for Electrochemical H2 Evolution from MoS2 Nanocatalysts
TLDR
The active site for hydrogen evolution, a reaction catalyzed by precious metals, on nanoparticulate molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) is determined by atomically resolving the surface of this catalyst before measuring electrochemical activity in solution.
Active edge sites in MoSe2 and WSe2 catalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction: a density functional study.
TLDR
The results suggest that an optimal catalyst design should maximize the exposure of edge sites, and explain the enhanced activity at the edges in terms of localized edge states, which provide insight into the trends in HER activity seen between the two catalysts.

Photoluminescence emission and Raman response of monolayer MoS₂, MoSe₂, and WSe₂.
TLDR
It is shown that strong photoluminescence emission is caused by the transition from an indirect band gap semiconductor of bulk material to a direct bandgap semiconductor in atomically thin form.
Photoluminescence from chemically exfoliated MoS2.
TLDR
Above an annealing temperature of 300 °C, chemically exfoliated MoS2 exhibit prominent band gap photoluminescence, similar to mechanically exfoliate monolayers, indicating that their semiconducting properties are largely restored.
