Emerging classes of 2D noble‐transition‐metal dichalcogenides (NTMDs) stand out for their unique structure and novel physical properties in recent years. With the nearly full occupation of the d orbitals, 2D NTMDs are expected to be more attractive due to the unique interlayer vibrational behaviors and largely tunable electronic structures compared to most transition metal dichalcogenide semiconductors. The novel properties of 2D NTMDs have stimulated various applications in electronics, optoelectronics, catalysis, and sensors. Here, the latest development of 2D NTMDs are reviewed from the perspective of structure characterization, preparation, and application. Based on the recent research, the conclusions and outlook for these rising 2D NTMDs are presented.
