Abstract
Methods of synthesizing transition metal dichalcogenide nanoparticles include forming a metal-amine complex, combining the metal-amine complex with a chalcogen source in at least one solvent to form a solution, heating the solution to a first temperature for a first period of time, and heating the solution to a second temperature that is higher than the first temperature for a second period of time.

A method of preparing a transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) nanoparticle, the method comprising:
- forming a metal-amine complex;
- combining the metal-amine complex with a chalcogen source in at least one solvent to form a solution;
- heating the solution to a first temperature for a first period of time;
- and
- heating the solution to a second temperature that is higher than the first temperature for a second period of time,
- wherein the chalcogen source is an organo-chalcogen compound that supplies a chalcogen for the formation of a TMDC nanoparticle via the cleavage of a chalcogen-carbon bond.
