Twist-engineered tunability in vertical MoS2/MoSe2 heterostructure

Twistronics in two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD)-based van der Waals interface

“…Hence, stacking provides a convenient approach to manipulating the functionality of TMDs. Moreover, there are numerous engineering techniques, such as chemical functionalizing, 16 doping, 17 mechanical loading, 18 or strain engineering 19 and application of twist, 20,21 that can be used to modify the physical properties of a 2D material.…”

Electronic Properties of Twisted hBN/NbSe2 Hetero-structure and Its Application as an Electrode in Lithium-Ion Battery: First-Principle Study

“…The in-plane rotation or twist between the vertically stacked 2D layers is an effective tool for carefully controlling the behavior of 2D heterostructures , . Due to the angle-dependent interlayer coupling, which can drastically alter the electronic band structure, twisted heterostructures are crucial, which produce emerging properties that are not present in the parent structures.…”

CrXY (X/Y = S, Se, Te) monolayers as efficient anode materials for Li and Na-ion batteries: a first-principles study

“…Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are a broad class of two-dimensional (2D) materials with high surface areas and exceptional electrical and chemical characteristics 18,19 also TMDs have many excellent qualities, including an outstanding capacity for charge transfer, 20 a high surface to volume ratio, 21 an energy band gap that can be controlled by the number of layers, 22 a potent interaction with light, and mechanical toughness. 23,24 They have been proposed as suitable electrode materials for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) as well as lithium-ion batteries (LIBs).…”
