Abstract In the quest to discover the properties of planar semiconductors, two‐dimensional molybdenum trioxide and dichalcogenides have recently attracted a large amount of interest. This family, which includes molybdenum trioxide (MoO 3 ), disulphide (MoS 2 ), diselenide (MoSe 2 ) and ditelluride (MoTe 2 ), possesses many unique properties that make its compounds appealing for a wide range of applications. These properties can be thickness dependent and may be manipulated via a large number of physical and chemical processes. In this Feature Article, a comprehensive review is delivered of the fundamental properties, synthesis techniques and applications of layered and planar MoO 3 , MoS 2 , MoSe 2 , and MoTe 2 along with their future prospects.
