Electrides are materials in which electrons serve as anions. Here, the concept of inorganic
electrides is extended in several respects: from ionic crystals to intermetallic compounds in …

Since graphene became available by a scotch tape technique, a vast class of two-
dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdW) layered materials has been researched intensively …

Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have been serving as one the most critical
components of fast growing technologies, such as the mobile electronic and electrified …

This study combines machine learning (ML) and high-throughput calculations to uncover
new ternary electrides in the A 2 BC 2 family of compounds with the P 4/mbm space group …

We report an air and water stable electride Y5Si3 and its catalytic activity for direct ammonia
synthesis. It crystallizes in the Mn5Si3-type structure and confines 0.79/fu anionic electrons …

Electrides are exotic materials that typically have electrons present in well-defined lattice
sites rather than within atoms. Although all known electrides have an electropositive metal …

In a two-dimensional (2D) Kagome lattice, the ideal Kagome bands including Dirac cones,
van Hove singularities, and a flat band are highly expected, because they can provide a …

Electrides are emerging catalyst materials, in which excess electrons serve as periodic
anions. Although they have been successfully used for various hydrogenation reactions, due …

The discovery of non-magnetic extreme magnetoresistance (XMR) materials has induced
great interest because the XMR phenomenon challenges our understanding of how a …

Low-energy consumption and highly selective nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) catalysts
play an important role in solving the limitations of the traditional ammonia production. By …
