Electron transport properties of thermoelectrics based on layered substituted transition metal dichalcogenides

Temperature dependences of the electrical conductivity are studied in the range 4.2’300 K and Seebeck coefficient at room temperature of bulk samples of tungsten dichalcogenide polycrystals with niobium substitutions for tungsten and selenium substitutions for sulfur – W_1–x Nb _x (S_1–y Se _y )₂. The two-dimensionalization of electron transport properties is detected at niobium concentrations x ≥ 0.1 in W_1–x Nb _x S₂ and x ≥ 0.05 in W_1–x Nb _x Se₂. In samples with additional partial selenium substitution for sulfur the electron transport remains three-dimensional. At room temperature the Seebeck coefficient (at equal electrical conductivities) is several times higher in the samples with quasi-two-dimensional transport than in the samples with three-dimensional transport. The calculation of the power factor at room temperature shows its nine times increase.     

Advances in transition metal dichalcogenide-based two-dimensional nanomaterials

Two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) are the layered materials that have gained substantial consideration in a wide range of applications. The TMDCs possess exceptional properties such as high surface-to-volume ratio, excellent charge transfer capacity, mechanical strength, and low bandgap energy. Additionally, TMDCs (MoS₂, WS₂, etc.) are abundant, have a low synthesis cost, and are visible-light-active. The appealing surface morphologies and properties of TMDCs make them an appropriate choice for diverse applications like photocatalytic degradation of hazardous pollutants, energy conversion reactions (electrocatalytic and photocatalytic H₂ production), and energy storage devices (supercapacitors and rechargeable batteries) in addition to bio/chemical sensors. This article addresses the latest trends and advancements in the domain of TMDC-based nanomaterials. The different synthesis routes have been comprehensively reviewed. The challenges faced by TMDCs at a large scale and the future scope have also been discussed.

Disorder engineering in transition metal dichalcogenides toward efficient high current density reduction electrocatalysts

In this perspective, we highlight the importance of nanoscale disorder and mesoscale morphology to enhance the activity and tune the selectivity of group VI transition metal dichalcogenide electrocatalysts toward two paramount reductions reactions as H₂ evolution reaction and CO₂ reduction. The strategy we propose takes advantage of the metastable nanoscale atomic arrangement of highly disordered and amorphous materials, to overcome the limits of the typical transition metal dichalcogenide crystalline catalysts. For the H₂ evolution reaction, going beyond the creation of point defects in crystalline structures in favor of fully amorphous organizations not only increases the per-site activity and active surface area but also improves the conductivity and the reaction kinetics. In addition, the incorporation of nanoscale disorder promotes the formation of complex products in CO₂ reduction through reaction pathways inaccessible on other sites. On the other hand, the mesoscale architecture of the catalyst controls mass transport in both the liquid and gas phase, as well as determines the real-world performance of catalysts. We suggest that by exploiting disordered nanoscale organization and controlled mesoscale features, the performances can be drastically improved to reach the state-of-art metallic electrocatalysts.     

Toward sustainable and effective HER electrocatalysts: Strategies for the basal plane site activation of transition metal dichalcogenides

Due to their low cost and overall sustainability, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) are potential alternatives to noble metals as catalysts to produce green hydrogen. A promising route to improve their performances consists of activating their basal plane, both increasing the number of active sites or their specific activity. This can be accomplished by exploiting point defects, in-plane boundaries and strain. In particular, single atom adsorbed or incorporated into TMDCs have shown remarkable results in electrochemical half-cell tests. Topological curvature or grain boundaries (and related defects) can also be used to further boost the performances. A crucial point for the application of such strategies is related to the development of cost effective and sustainable methods for the scale-up of synthetic protocols.     

Thermoelectric properties of two-dimensional ternary transition metal nitrides HfNF

The exceptional electron transfer properties and low thermal conductivity of two-dimensional layered materials render them a promising choice for thermoelectric applications. In this study, we explore the stability, electronic properties, and thermoelectric characteristics of materials composed of two-dimensionally layered transition metal nitride HfNF. Our research findings show that the structure of HfNF is stable and exhibits the properties of a direct bandgap semiconductor. Furthermore, we employ the Boltzmann transport theory and Slack model to investigate the thermoelectric properties of HfNF within the temperature range of 300 to 900 K. The HfNF materials exhibit relatively large thermoelectric dominance values ( $$ values), with the $$-type HfNF demonstrating a maximum $$ value of 1.46. Furthermore, utilizing the quasi-harmonic Debye model, thermodynamic properties such as heat capacity, coefficient of thermal expansion, and bulk modulus within the 6 GPa and 600 K range are estimated. Based on these calculations, it is predicted that two-dimensional HfNF materials will serve as promising new materials for thermoelectric applications spanning from 300 to 900 K.
