Illustration of the bottom-up synthesis of TMD QDs under mild condition. a In this study, only the synthesis of commonly reported TMDs (MoS2, WS2, RuS2, MoTe2, MoSe2, WSe2 and RuSe2) QDs were showed. b Extrapolating the synthesis method to other TMD QDs synthesis may present an universal method to synthesis the various TMDs QDs
