The layered type-I Weyl semimetal trigonal-PtBi2 (t-PtBi2) is a promising candidate for topological superconductors with broken inversion symmetry and strong spin-orbit coupling. In this talk, we first present methods developed to exfoliate t-PtBi2 into thin layers with a modified mechanical exfoliation technique. We then focus on the result of the investigations of the low dimensional superconductivity in t-PtBi2 exfoliated flakes by transport measurements [1]. Finally, we present a complete study of magnetoresistance above the superconducting transition for a magnetic field oriented in any direction, highlighting the highly untrivial properties of this material.
