Rhenium disulfide (ReS2, CAS number 12038-63-0) is a 2D layered semiconductor. Unlike most 2D layered materials, ReS2 behaves as a stack of electronically and vibrationally decoupled monolayers, even in the bulk form. Raman spectrum and photoluminescence properties are independent of the number of layers. This suggests that ReS2 could offer a novel system to study mesoscopic physics of 2D systems without the limitation of obtaining large-area, monolayer-thick flakes.

Different Forms of Rhenium Disulfide
Sheets
Produce single or few-layer sheets
Rhenium disulfide is a direct band gap semiconductor that has exhibited outstanding optoelectronic performance due to its weak interlayer coupling. Compared to , ReS2 is a naturally-occurring yet extremely rare TMDC so it is environmentally stable which makes it an ideal candidate for applications in ambient conditions. ReS2 has been found to be a diamagnetic semiconductor, an n-type photovoltaic material with a 1.4 eV optical gap, and exhibits bi-axial optical and electrical properties.

Bulk single rhenium disulfide crystal is most commonly used as sources from which single or few-layer sheets can be obtained via either mechanical or liquid exfoliation.
Rhenium disulfide powder can also be used to prepare ReS2 nanosheets and nanoparticles by liquid-exfoliation (normally assisted by sonication), especially when it is the case of foreign elements such as lithium or sodium cations being inserted between layers by the process of intercalation. Liquid exfoliation can provide mass production of such products.

Structure of Rhenium Disulfide
ReS2 unit cell is derived from hexagonal symmetry towards triclinic - a distorted 1T structure. An ReS2 single layer is comprised of three atomic layers, 'S–Re–S', where Re and S are joined by covalent bonds and each rhenium is coordinated to six sulfur atoms in approximately octahedral geometry. Each sulfur atom is bonded to three Re atoms. Each Re atom also groups into parallelograms of four Re atoms, hence offering opportunities to introduce built-in planar anisotropy into composite heterostructures.
Like other 2D layered materials, the adjacent layers in ReS2 are also coupled by weak van der Waals (vdW) forces to form bulk crystals.
Unlike most of the TMDCs, ReS2 has an unique structure with its in-plane 1D chains of Re atoms. These are arranged into linked parallelograms - forming Re4 “diamond” shapes along the b axis. Such a structure makes it an optically bi-axial material which shows exceptionally anisotropic electrical and optical behaviour for linearly-polarised light.
