In this study, we employ first-principles density functional theory (DFT) calculations to investigate the electrochemical properties of Nb2C and Nb2CO2 MXenes as potential anode materials for sodium-ion (SIBs) and lithium-ion batteries…
Two-dimensional (2D) topological insulators (TIs), a new state of quantum matter, are promising for achieving the low-power-consuming electronic devices owning to the remarkable robustness of their conducting edge states against…
Monolayers of graphene and hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) are highly permeable to thermal protons. For thicker two-dimensional (2D) materials, proton conductivity diminishes exponentially so that, for example, monolayer MoS2 that is just…
Two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors are widely recognized as attractive channel materials for low-power electronics. However, an unresolved challenge is the integration of high-quality, ultrathin high-\k{appa} dielectrics that fully meet…
Few-layered transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are increasingly popular materials for optoelectronics and catalysis. Amongst the various types of TMDs available today, rhenium-chalcogenides (ReX2) stand out due to their remarkable…
Comparison is made of the electronic structure of the little-studied layered transition metal oxide LiNbO$_2$ with that of Na$_x$CoO$_2$, which has attracted tremendous interest since superconductivity was discovered in its hydrate.…
One prominent structural feature of ionic liquids near surfaces is formation of alternating layers of anions and cations. However, how this layering responds to applied potential is poorly understood. We focus on the structure of…
When thinned down to the atomic scale, many layered van der Waals materials exhibit an interesting evolution of their electronic properties, whose main aspects can be accounted for by changes in the single-particle band structure. Phenomena…
High-performance, low-power transistors are core components of advanced integrated circuits, and the ultimate limitation of Moore's law has made the search for new alternative pathways an urgent priority. Two-dimensional (2D) materials have…

Crystal structure and physical properties of the novel BiS2-based layered superconductors are briefly reviewed. Superconductivity in the BiS2-based layered compounds is induced by electron doping into the BiS2 conduction layers. The…
Two-dimensional (2D) materials are suitable hosts for the intercalation of extrinsic guest ions such as Li+, Na+ and K+ as the interlayer coupling is weak. This allows ion intercalation engineering of 2D materials, which may be a key to…
Two correlated superconducting phases are identified in layered superconductor BaTi2(Sb1-xBix)2O (x=0.16), with the superconducting transition temperatures of TC = 6 K (the high TC phase) and 3.4 K (the low TC Phase), respectively. The 6 K…
