Summary Metallic transition-metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) nanomaterials have emerged as highly active and robust catalysts for energy conversion from renewable electricity or solar energy to fuels via electrochemical or solar-driven water-splitting technologies. Possessing intriguing electronic and catalytic properties, this category of materials based on earth-abundant elements is increasingly being explored and developed for practical applications. This review provides in-depth insights into recent progress regarding electrocatalysis and photocatalysis using metallic TMDC nanomaterials. After the introduction and fundamental illustration of the structures and extraordinary properties, we discuss the significant developments in synthetic methodologies and energy conversion applications with significant strategies for enhancing catalytic performance. Several personal perspectives on the opportunities and challenges in this promising realm are discussed in the conclusion.
