Phase engineering of transition metal dichalcogenides.
Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) represent a family of materials with versatile electronic, optical, and chemical properties. Most TMD bulk crystals are van der Waals solids with strong bonding within the plane but weak interlayer bonding. The individual layers can be readily isolated. Single layer TMDs possess intriguing properties that are ideal for both fundamental and technologically...
متن کاملCovalent functionalization of monolayered transition metal dichalcogenides by phase engineering.
Chemical functionalization of low-dimensional materials such as nanotubes, nanowires and graphene leads to profound changes in their properties and is essential for solubilizing them in common solvents. Covalent attachment of functional groups is generally achieved at defect sites, which facilitate electron transfer. Here, we describe a simple and general method for covalent functionalization o...
متن کاملCrystallisation kinetics
D. Quigley (Theory Group) The rates at which crystals nucleate and grow from either a supercooled melt, or a supersaturated solution, are essential inputs for solidification models in a variety of contexts. These include materials synthesis and processing, development of antifreeze strategies for cryopreservation, and understanding the formation of harmful biological crystals such as kidney st...
متن کاملMetal Dichalcogenides Monolayers: Novel Catalysts for Electrochemical Hydrogen Production
Catalyst-driven electrolysis of water is considered as a "cleanest" way for hydrogen production. Finding cheap and abundant catalysts is critical to the large-scale implementation of the technology. Two-dimensional metal dichalcogenides nanostructures have attracted increasing attention because of their catalytic performances in water electrolysis. In this work, we systematically investigate th...
متن کاملRecombination Kinetics and Effects of Superacid Treatment in Sulfur- and Selenium-Based Transition Metal Dichalcogenides.
Optoelectronic devices based on two-dimensional (2D) materials have shown tremendous promise over the past few years; however, there are still numerous challenges that need to be overcome to enable their application in devices. These include improving their poor photoluminescence (PL) quantum yield (QY) as well as better understanding of exciton-based recombination kinetics. Recently, we develo...
