We report a facile method for large‐scale exfoliation of bulk molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2 ) and tungsten disulfide (WS 2 ) in the presence of sodium cholate through ball milling. The exfoliated sample can be stored as a “stock solid” and is readily dispersed in water just by shaking by hand, giving a highly concentrated dispersion (up to 4.2 and 2.6 mg mL −1 ) of MoS 2 and WS 2 nanosheets with up to 93 % and 57 % yields, respectively, after centrifugation.
