“…LiMo 3 Se 3 has a negative charge on the chain surface due to ionic interactions between Li + ions and Mo 3 Se 3 − chains [17] Mo 6 S 3 I 6 and Mo 6 S 4.5 I 4.5 , on the other hand, undergo vdW interactions and thus dangling bonds exist on their chains, similar to the case in graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides(TMDC). Due to these structural features [11], they have unique physical and chemical properties, which leads to many useful applications such as transistor [12,18,19,20], sensor [21], composite [13] and solar cell [22,23]. In addition, new 1D bulk materials, Sb 2 S 3 [24] and Sb 2 Se 3 [25,26], have been reported to have excellent optoelectronic properties due to the absence of dangling bonds on their chain surfaces.…”
