Abstract
Methods of forming transition metal dichalcogenide aerogels are provided. Some methods include adding at least one solvent to one or more two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenide sheets to form a transition metal dichalcogenide solution and freeze drying the transition metal dichalcogenide solution to form frozen transition metal dichalcogenide, The methods also include heating the frozen transition metal dichalcogenide to form a transition metal dichalcogenide aerogel,
