Fundamental Properties:
Platinum ditelluride (PtTe₂) is a layered transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) with semimetallic nature and electronic properties. PtTe₂ remains semimetallic down to the monolayer, with electrical conductivity and spin-orbit coupling effects. It also exhibits environmental stability, thermal stability, and flexibility. PtTe₂ has a combination of band structure and thickness-dependent physical properties, enabling applications in electronics and spintronic devices. Additionally, its catalytic activity and mechanical properties support its use for energy storage and sensing applications.

Applications:
Electronics: PtTe₂ is used in field-effect transistors (FETs) and other electronic components due to its carrier mobility and semimetallic behavior.
Spintronics: spin-orbit coupling and topological properties support the use of PtTe₂ in spintronic devices.
Optoelectronics: PtTe₂’s semimetallic properties and optical absorption allow for applications in photodetectors and other optoelectronic devices. Energy Applications: PtTe₂ serves as a catalyst for hydrogen evolution reactions (HER) and is used in batteries and supercapacitors.
Sensors: PtTe₂-based chemical and gas sensors use its electronic properties.
