In this study, we synthesized a new category of materials, 2D Cr2X3 (where X = S, Se, and Te), using an APCVD method. By leveraging the same space group and identical exposed facets of the as-synthesized Cr2X3 nanoflakes, we compared their catalytic performance for HER and electrical properties to u...
