Transition-metal dichalcogenides TX2 (T= W, Mo; X= S, Se, Te) are layered materials that
are available in ultrathin forms such as mono-, bi-and multilayers, which are commonly …

The structures and properties of high capacity conversion electrodes are key factors as
these undergo successive lithium insertion and conversion during an electrochemical …

Bulk MoS 2, a prototypical layered transition-metal dichalcogenide, is an indirect band gap
semiconductor. Reducing its slab thickness to a monolayer, MoS 2 undergoes a transition to …

Layered semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are promising materials
for high-specific-power photovoltaics due to their excellent optoelectronic properties …

MoS 2 and WS 2 layered transition-metal dichalcogenides are indirect band gap
semiconductors in their bulk forms. Thinned to a monolayer, they undergo a transition and …

Nanomaterials form a field of materials science, which is devoted to the production and
