“…Recently we have developed the solvothermal synthesis of tin phosphide, Sn 4 P 3 , starting from elemental tin and red phosphorus [25]. We have shown that the reaction between phosphorus dissolved in ethylenediamine and tin powder occurs at moderate temperature (473 K).…”

“…By analogy to the Sn-P system [25], we applied the acidic washing in order to remove tin and tin oxide admixtures from the TA-5 sample. As it turned out, tin arsenides are not stable against acidic treatment and even diluted HCl caused partial decomposition of Sn 4 As 3 (TA-5w).…”

“…In the former case, phosphorus is a component which dissolves in ethylendiamine, and equilibrium is achieved between the solid metal, dissolved phosphorus, and metal phosphide. Significant excess of phosphorus is required to shift the equilibrium position towards the formation of the metal phosphide [25]. However, ethylenediamine itself is able to dissolve neither elemental tin nor arsenic.…”

“…Layered tetrel‐pnictides are versatile materials, displaying several interesting properties, such as superconductivity at 1.3 K in NaSn 2 As 2 and ultra‐low thermal conductivity in metallic Li 1− x Sn 2+ x As 2 . Layered tin phosphide, Sn 4 P 3 , has been studied for lithium‐ion and sodium‐ion battery applications and has been proven to be a promising material . Pnictides of lighter tetrels such as GeAs, SiAs, GeP, SiP, GeAs 2 , and SiAs 2 have been gaining interest in the field of thermoelectrics, photovoltaics, water splitting, and optics owing to their anisotropic nature, weak interlayer interactions, relatively small band gaps (<2 eV), and potential for tuning of properties through doping and strain …”

Lithiation of van der Waals tetrel‐arsenides, GeAs and SiAs, has been investigated. Electrochemical lithiation demonstrated large initial capacities of over 950 mAh g−1 accompanied by rapid fading over successive cycling in the voltage range 0.01–2 V. Limiting the voltage range to 0.5–2 V achieved more stable cycling, which was attributed to the intercalation process with lower capacities. Ex situ powder X‐ray diffraction confirmed complete amorphization of the samples after lithiation, as well as recrystallization of the binary tetrel‐arsenide phases after full delithiation in the voltage range 0.5–2 V. Solid‐state synthetic methods produce layered phases, in which Si‐As or Ge‐As layers are separated by Li cations. The first layered compounds in the corresponding ternary systems were discovered, Li0.9Ge2.9As3.1 and Li3Si7As8, which crystallize in the Pbam (No. 55) and P2/m (No. 10) space groups, respectively. Semiconducting layered GeAs and SiAs accommodate the extra charge from Li cations through structural rearrangement in the Si‐As or Ge‐As layers and eventually by replacement of the tetrel dumbbells with sets of Li atoms. Ge and Si monoarsenides demonstrated high structural flexibility and a mild ability for reversible lithiation.

“…All tin phosphides can be synthesized by traditional solid-state synthetic methods [158][159][160][161], chemical vapor deposition [170], mechanochemical [164,165], and solvothermal methods [171,172], including a facile solvothermal procedure which involves the reaction of metallic tin and red phosphorus in the ethylenediamine solvent [173]. Unsupported [166,174] and carbon-supported [175,176] nanoparticles of tin phosphides have been also synthesized.…”

This review describes recent advances in electrochemical water electrolysis and rechargeable beyond Li-ion battery research, two emergent and widely employed technologies playing important roles in clean energy production and storage. The principle components of these electrochemical processes are electrode materials, which are currently facing challenges in performance improvement, thus motivating the development of novel electrode materials. This development requires synergistic interactions between experimentalists and theorists with backgrounds in solid state chemistry, condensed matter physics, and materials science and engineering. In light of a large amount of literature covering the topic, we will focus this review on the seminal electrode materials that have been discovered in the last five years, such as transition metal chalcogenides, carbides, and phosphides, as well as 2D layered materials. Intensive cross-disciplinary research is also dedicated to nanostructuring and hybridization of the emerging electrode materials in order to maximize the efficiency and simultaneously to lower the cost of the processes. As the understanding of the nanoscale-related effects deepens, it opens important pathways to the discovery of further materials and their improvement.
