The design and development of inexpensive highly efficient electrocatalysts for hydrogen production underpins several emerging clean-energy technologies. In this work, the first time, molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) nanodots have been synthesized by ionic liquid assisted grinding exfoliation bulk platelets isolated sequential centrifugation. a thickness up to 7 layers (∼4 nm) an average lateral size smaller than 20 nm. Detailed structural characterization established that retained crystalline...
Lithium‐rich layered oxides (LLOs) exhibit great potential as high‐capacity cathode materials for lithium‐ion batteries, but usually suffer from capacity/voltage fade during electrochemical cycling. Herein, a gradient polyanion‐doping strategy is developed to initiate surface structural transition form spinel‐like nanolayer and polyanion‐doped core material in LLOs simultaneously. This integrates the advantages of both bulk doping modification oxygen close‐packed structure stabilized by...
