Abstract  High-pressure studies of two-dimensional materials have revealed numerous novel properties and physical mechanisms behind them. As a typical material of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), ZrSe$_{2}$ exhibits high carrier mobility, rich electronic states regulated by doping, and high potential in applications at ambient pressure. However, the properties of ZrSe$_{2}$ under pressure are still not clear, especially for the structural and electrical properties. Here, we report the investigation of ZrSe$_{2}$ under pressure up to 66.5 GPa by in-situ x-ray diffraction, Raman, electrical transport measurements, and first-principles calculations. Two structural phase transitions occur in ZrSe$_{2}$ at 8.3 GPa and 31.5 GPa, from $P$-3$m$1 symmetry to $P$2$_{1}$/$m$ symmetry, and finally transformed into a non-layer $I$4/mmm symmetry structure. Pressure-induced metallic transition is observed at around 19.4 GPa in phase II which aligns well with the results of the calculation. Our work will help to improve the understanding of the evolution of the structure and electrical transport properties of two-dimensional materials.
