1T’ phases of transition metal dichalcogenides show promise for electrocatalysis, energy storage, and spintronic applications but are difficult to obtain. Here the authors synthesize 1T’ WSe2 few-layered nanosheets by kinetically-controlled colloidal synthesis, and test their electrocatalytic activity.
