As an emerging class of semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs), two-dimensional (2D) rhenium dichalcogenides (ReX2, X = S or Se) have recently aroused great research interest due to their unique anisotropic structure (1T′ phase), and the related novel properties and applications. Recently, many efforts have been devoted to the controllable syntheses of high-quality monolayer or few-layer ReX2 flakes/films by chemical vapor deposition (CVD), wherein the metallic Au foil is found to be a unique substrate, due to the relatively strong interfacial coupling between monolayer ReX2 and Au. And the conductive nature of Au enables in situ characterizations of the as-grown ReX2 samples, which is essential for exploring the fundamental properties and internal growth mechanisms. Hereby, this review focuses on the recent progresses on the CVD syntheses and in situ characterizations of high-quality monolayer ReX2 flakes/films and their heterostructures with graphene on Au foils. The effects of Au foils on improving the crystal quality and inducing the growth of monolayer ReX2 single crystals are intensively addressed. The crystallinity, domain morphology, atomic and electronic structures, as well as the growth behaviors of monolayer ReX2 flakes/films and graphene/ReX2 heterostructures on Au revealed by in situ characterization techniques are also highlighted. As contrasts, the growth behaviors of monolayer or few-layer ReX2 on insulating substrates are also discussed. Besides, the potential applications of 2D ReX2 in new-generation electronic, optoelectronic devices, and energy-related fields are also introduced. Finally, future research directions are also prospected for propelling the practical applications of 2D ReX2 materials in more versatile fields.

Abstract
As an emerging class of semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs), two-dimensional (2D) rhenium dichalcogenides (ReX2, X = S or Se) have recently aroused great research interest due to their unique anisotropic structure (1T′ phase), and the related novel properties and applications. Recently, many efforts have been devoted to the controllable syntheses of high-quality monolayer or few-layer ReX2 flakes/films by chemical vapor deposition (CVD), wherein the metallic Au foil is found to be a unique substrate, due to the relatively strong interfacial coupling between monolayer ReX2 and Au. And the conductive nature of Au enables in situ characterizations of the as-grown ReX2 samples, which is essential for exploring the fundamental properties and internal growth mechanisms. Hereby, this review focuses on the recent progresses on the CVD syntheses and in situ characterizations of high-quality monolayer ReX2 flakes/films and their heterostructures with graphene on Au foils. The effects of Au foils on improving the crystal quality and inducing the growth of monolayer ReX2 single crystals are intensively addressed. The crystallinity, domain morphology, atomic and electronic structures, as well as the growth behaviors of monolayer ReX2 flakes/films and graphene/ReX2 heterostructures on Au revealed by in situ characterization techniques are also highlighted. As contrasts, the growth behaviors of monolayer or few-layer ReX2 on insulating substrates are also discussed. Besides, the potential applications of 2D ReX2 in new-generation electronic, optoelectronic devices, and energy-related fields are also introduced. Finally, future research directions are also prospected for propelling the practical applications of 2D ReX2 materials in more versatile fields.
