Zirconium disulfide (ZrS₂, CAS number 12039-15-5) has a layered structure and it belongs to group IV transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs). ZrS₂ crystals have the 1T structure, single layer of ZrS₂ is formed by a zirconium atom layer sandwiched between two layers of sulfur atoms that are covalently bonded to the zirconium atoms. Each zirconium atom is octahedrally coordinated by six sulfur atoms. Zirconium disulfide (ZrS₂) possesses an indirect band gap in the bulk and becomes a direct gap semiconductor in its mono- or few-layer forms.

Like TiS₂and HfS₂, ZrS₂ adopts a layered structure similar to that of cadmium iodide (1T). Each single ZrS₂ layer consists of one layer of Zr atoms, sandwiched in between two layers of sulfide atoms.

ZrS₂ is thermodynamically stable, environmentally friendly with high sensitivity, and low-cost production. ZrS₂ monolayers exhibited obvious n-type transport characteristics with relatively high mobility.

Bulk single zirconium disulfide crystal is most commonly used as sources from which single or few-layer sheets can be obtained via either mechanical or liquid exfoliation. Single zirconium disulfide crystal or films produced from such crystals are suitable for study using atomic force microscopy or transmission electron microscopy.

Few-layer ZrSe₂ nanosheets and nanoparticles can also obtained from zirconium disulfide powder by liquid-exfoliation.

Applications of Zirconium Disulfide

ZrS₂ is a promising material for optoelectronics because of its greater carrier mobility at room temperature and higher current density than MoS₂, which are desirable for low-power devices. With an indirect bandgap around 1.7 eV and direct bandgap around 2.0 eV for the monolayer, ZrS₂ finds applications in thermoelectrics, Schottky solar cells, photodetectors, FETs and catalytic hydrogen production.

Zirconium disulfide exhibits interesting single-layer properties such as enhanced thermoelectric property, electrical conductivity and strain-driven indirect-to-direct band gap transition.

ZrS₂ 2D nanomaterials have a high electron mobility, i.e., 1200 cm²/Vs, which is more than three times larger than that of the widely investigated MoS₂ (340 cm²/Vs). FET devices based on ZrS₂have higher electronic sensitivity and excellent semiconducting properties. Calculations showed that ZrS₂-based based tunnelling fieldeffect transistors (TFETs) can have sheet current densities of up to 800 μA/μm (100 times higher than that of MoS₂), giving the rise of great application potential in low-power devices.
