Properties of many layered materials, including copper- and iron-based superconductors, topological insulators, graphite and epitaxial graphene, can be manipulated by the inclusion of different atomic ...

Intercalating native metal atoms (self-intercalation) into the van der Waals (vdW) gaps of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD) has been considered as an effective method to create novel 2D ...

Li-ion and Na-ion batteries operate through a process called intercalation, where ions are stored and exchanged between two chemically different electrodes. In contrast, co-intercalation, a process in ...

In the recent article published in Science Bulletin, the researchers develop an effective organic-cation intercalation strategy to manipulate the interlayer coupling of layered materials, and obtain a ...

With increased water scarcity and global warming looming, electrochemical technology offers low-energy mitigation pathways via desalination and carbon capture. This webinar will demonstrate how the ...

For the first time, scientists obtained an atomic view of two key processes in batteries as they are charged. A new study offers new insights about the underlying principles involved in energy storage ...

Researchers have developed physics-based guidelines that will benefit host-guest intercalated materials research. By using only two guest properties and eight host-derived descriptors, they correctly ...

The physical characteristic known as intercalation is essential for operating many contemporary, cutting-edge technologies, ranging from lithium-ion batteries to next-generation superconductors. Image ...
