The invention relates to a two-dimensional
transition metal dichalcogenide nano-roll as well as a preparation method and application thereof. The method comprises the following steps: providing a
metal substrate, and forming a two-dimensional
transition metal disulfide strip on the surface of the
metal substrate; forming an organic protective layer on the surface of the two-dimensional
transition metal disulfide strip, removing the
metal substrate, and transferring the two-dimensional transition metal disulfide strip with the organic protective layer to a target substrate; and soaking the two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenide strip with the organic protective layer in a high-polarity organic solution, then taking out the two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenide strip, and quickly
drying the two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenide strip by blowing, so that the two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenide strip is curled to obtain the two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenide nano roll. The invention also provides an application of the nano roll in a
nonlinear optical device. The method is simple, convenient, high in universality, simple and convenient in technological operation, short in flow and easy to popularize.
