The present invention relates to the field of catalysts, and provides a porous layered transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) and a preparation method and use thereof. The preparation method includes the following steps: (1) mixing silica microspheres, a transition metal salt and an elemental chalcogen, and pressing to obtain a tablet, the silica microspheres having a same or different particle diameters; and (2) sintering the tablet under hydrogen, and removing the silica microspheres to obtain the porous layered TMD. The porous layered TMD prepared by the method of the present invention has a high lattice edge exposure, which provides more active sites and higher catalytic activity, so the porous layered TMD can effectively catalyze the oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes or sulfides to sulfoxides under visible light irradiation.
