Reliable synthesis methods for high-quality, large-sized, and uniform two-dimensional (2D) transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are crucial their device applications. However, versatile approaches to growing 2D tellurides rare. Here, we demonstrate an ion adsorption strategy that facilitates the Frank-van der Merwe growth of tellurides. By employing this method, grow MoTe
