Hydrogen is a promising energy carrier, but its onboard application limited by the need for compact, low-pressure storage solutions. Solid-state complex metal hydride systems, such as MgB2/Mg(BH4)2, offer high capacities suffer from sluggish kinetics and poor reversibility. One avenue improving reactivity to introduce dopants alter electronic atomic properties, role of these chemical additives remains poorly understood, particularly hydrogenation reaction. In this work, we used density...
Recent experiments have found that monolayer $1H\text{\ensuremath{-}}{\mathrm{TaS}}_{2}$ grown on Au(111) lacks the charge density wave (CDW) instability exhibited by bulk $2H\text{\ensuremath{-}}{\mathrm{TaS}}_{2}$. Additionally, angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy measurements suggest becomes strongly electron doped substrate. While functional theory (DFT) calculations shown doping can suppress CDW in $1H\text{\ensuremath{-}}{\mathrm{TaS}}_{2}$, it has been suggested actual transfer...
