Piezoelectricity is a unique material property that converts mechanical energy into electricity or vice versa. Starting from the group-III monochalcogenide monolayers, we design series of derivative Janus structures for piezoelectric materials, including Ga2SSe, Ga2STe, Ga2SeTe, In2SSe, In2STe, In2SeTe, GaInS2, GaInSe2, and GaInTe2. Our first-principles calculations show these are thermodynamically dynamically stable. They have bandgap in range 0.89–2.03 eV, lower than those perfect In2SeTe...
The two-dimensional (2D) magnet, a long-standing missing member in the family of 2D functional materials, is promising for next-generation information technology. recent experimental discovery magnetic ordering CrI3, Cr2Ge2Te6, VSe2, and Fe3GeTe2 has stimulated intense research activities to expand scope magnets.

Abstract A novel synergistic extractant consisting of a deep eutectic solvent (DES) and tri‐n‐butyl phosphate (TBP) is proposed for selective extraction valuable metals from waste lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs). The efficiencies Ni 2+ , Co Mn were 99.8%, 99.1%, 95.9%, respectively, high‐purity Li + was enriched in the raffinate after single‐stage extraction. Valuable metal salts, lithium carbonate (92.3 wt%) cobalt oxalate (94.9 wt%), obtained. DES TBP retained its high performance even...

Solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) are crucial to high-energy-density lithium metal batteries, but they commonly suffer from slow Li+ transfer kinetics and low mechanical strength, severely hampering the application for all-solid-state batteries. Here, we develop a two-dimensional (2D) high-entropy lithium-ion conductor, lithium-containing transition-metal phosphorus sulfide, HE-LixMPS3 (Lix(Fe1/5Co1/5Ni1/5Mn1/5Zn1/5)PS3) with five atoms ions (Li+) dispersed into [P2S6]2- framework layers,...

Although transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) monolayers are widely applied in electronics, optics, catalysis, and energy storage, their yield or output is commonly very low (<1 wt % micrometer level) based on the well-known top-down (e.g., exfoliation) bottom-up chemical vapor deposition) approaches.

Abstract Two-dimensional (2D) ferromagnets with high Curie temperature T C are desirable for spintronics applications. However, they rarely obtained in experiments mainly due to the challenge of synthesizing high-quality 2D crystals, and their values below room temperature.
