Abstract The major challenges faced by candidate electrode materials in lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs) include their low electronic and ionic conductivities. 2D van der Waals with good conductivity weak interlayer interaction have been intensively studied the electrochemical processes involving ion migrations. In particular, molybdenum ditelluride (MoTe 2 ) has emerged as a new material for energy storage applications. Though 2H‐MoTe hexagonal semiconducting phase is expected to facilitate...
Fast charging battery materials are of incredible interest to the industry as well in academia. To enhance fast capabilities batteries, anode must have Li-ion diffusion and reaction kinetics. The inherent high electronic conductivity volumetric energy density semimetallic 1T′-MoTe2 advantageous a high-rate material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). mass MoTe2 helps decrease electrode thickness, thus requiring less electrolyte infiltration favoring reduction auxiliary costs indirectly...
It is well known that a nuclear reactor generates various fission products including radioactive gases made of isotopes Xe and Kr. The separation Kr their entrapment are important tasks for efficient operation reactors fuel-reprocessing plants. Two-dimensional materials to have large surface-to-volume ratio; this makes them prospective candidates as gas adsorbent materials. Motivated by this, we carry out ab initio density functional theory-based calculations explore the reactivity...
A bandgap bowing parameter of 0.4 ± 0.2 eV for β-(AlxGa1−x)2O3 alloys, with Al compositions (x) up to 0.35, has been determined from the obtained low temperature optical reflectivity, which suppresses effect electron–phonon interaction on bandgap. length scale inhomogeneity 0.21 0.03 times electron–hole mean free path estimated alloys. The unit cell alloys compresses, and lattice parameters vary linearly substitution. Our results provide insight into engineering alloy disorder are an...
