The technological barriers of the dimensional engineering and interfacial instability seriously hinder the scalable production of metallic (1T) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD) monolayers. In this article, a facile and fast electron injection strategy is developed to modulate the d orbits of Mo center in trigonal prismatic 2H phases (MoS 2 and MoSe 2 ); meanwhile various cations (Li + , Na + , and K + ) reinforce the in-plane 1T-atomic arrangement and expand the out-of-plane spacing for easy exfoliation. Theoretical and experimental evaluations further elucidate the decisive electron-donating capability and suitable ionic radius in stabilizing 1T coordination. The astailored 1T-MoS 2 /MoSe 2 anodes can achieve the robust Na + storage in the half cells (5000 cycles at 5 A g -1 ) and extreme power output of 3134.9 W kg -1 in the full cell. This phase-engineering approach enables the precise dimensional manipulation of the 1T TMDs, which further extends their application horizons as the cation host for the power-oriented battery systems.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
