First-row transition metal carbide nanosheets as high-performance cathode materials for lithium–sulfur batteries

“…In this work, we have systematically investigated the anchoring competence of first-row TMC nanostructures, including ScC, TiC, VC, CrC, MnC, FeC, CoC, NiC, and CuC, for Li 2 S n ; the primary structures of these materials have been collected from previously reported literature. [29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37] The variation in unoccupied d orbitals of first-row TMs (see Fig. 1 The voltage profiles at 0 K and 300 K are analyzed, demonstrating various reaction mechanisms, where the low Li concentration corresponds to high voltage, while increasing the concentration leads to a plateau in the voltage profile.…”

Intercalation in two-dimensional transition metal chalcogenides: interlayer engineering and applications

“…Prober et al validated the Lawrence-Doniach theory by showing dimensional superconductivity in (pyridine) 1/2 TaS 2 intercalated compounds [28]. Liu et al proposed a solid-state reaction strategy [29] to homogeneous intercalation of Cu in NbS 2 at a high concentration at room temperature, resulting in a reduction in the superconducting volume fraction and transition temperature (T c ). Gong et al demonstrated [30] p-, n-and degenerately doped semiconductors in atomically thin parent material by solvent-based intercalation [31,32].…”
