Used as a lubricant in high-temperature and high-vacuum environments due to its layered structure and low friction properties.

Employed in solid-state electronics and semiconductor devices because of its electrical conductivity, photoconductivity, and superconductivity at low temperatures.

Investigated for use in rechargeable batteries and energy storage systems, particularly as an electrode material in lithium-ion batteries.

Applied in catalysis, especially for hydrogen evolution reactions in water splitting processes.

Utilized in research and development of two-dimensional materials for advanced electronic and optoelectronic applications, including potential in high-performance transistors and nanoelectronics.
