However, the high formation energy of this metastable phase hinders the direct synthesis. Here, for the first time, we realized the phase\u2010locked growth of 2M WS\n                    <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                    single crystals via a one\u2010step chemical vapor deposition (CVD). By establishing the growth phase diagram using K\n                    <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                    WS\n                    <jats:sub>4<\/jats:sub>\n                    as precursor, we selectively synthesized 2D 2M WS\n                    <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                    and, through theoretical calculations, elucidated the mechanism driving the stabilization of the 2M phase over the competing T\n                    <jats:sub>d<\/jats:sub>\n                    phase. Comprehensive characterization using Raman spectroscopy, X\u2010ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) revealed high\u2010phase\u2010purity, distinct in\u2010plane anisotropy, and superior dynamics stability of the synthesized 2D crystals. Notably, the resulting ultrathin 2M WS\n                    <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                    exhibits thickness\u2010dependent 2D superconductivity with onset critical temperatures up to \u223c8.6\u2009K. Remarkably, magnetotransport measurements reveal that the in\u2010plane upper critical field of 2M WS\n                    <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                    far exceeds the Pauli limit. This indicates the presence of strong spin\u2013orbit\u2010parity coupled superconducting mechanisms and demonstrates crystalline quality comparable to that of mechanically exfoliated samples.
