Preparation and properties of LixVS2 (0 .ltoreq. x .ltoreq. 1)

Physical Mechanisms of Intercalation

“…Large Changes in the Host (26) As mentioned earlier, small changes in the host during intercalation contribute to site energies and interaction energies in lattice gas models and will be discussed further in Section IV. Large changes, such as rearrangements of host atoms, may be treated using the following free energy considerations, discussed in more detail in metallurgy texts.…”

Ambient pressure synthesis of ternary group(V) nitrides

“…To synthesize Ta3N5, approximately 8 g of TaC1 5 (sublimed before use, Pressure Chemical Co., Pittsburgh PA) was placed in an alumina boat, that was in turn placed into a quartz tube. The TaCI5 was reacted with ammonia gas that had been dried as the liquid with sodium metal (flow rate of approximately 1-1/2 L/minute of gas).…”

An accurate refinement of 1T-VSe2 at room temperature

“…Secondly, alkali-metal intercalated dichalcogenides appear promising materials for non-aqueous cells (Wilson & Yoffe, 1969;Murphy, Cros, Di Salvo & Waszczak, 1977).…”
