Used as a lubricant in high-temperature and high-pressure environments where conventional oils and greases fail. Effective in automotive, aerospace, and industrial machinery applications due to its low friction and wear protection properties. Also serves as a catalyst in hydrodesulfurization processes in petroleum refining to remove sulfur from crude oil. Applied in coatings and composites to enhance durability and reduce friction. Investigated for use in electronic devices and energy storage systems due to its layered structure and semiconducting properties.
