Adatom Doping of Transition Metals in ReSe2 Nanosheets for Enhanced Electrocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution Reaction

“…The distortion of Re atoms away from their ideal octahedral sites results in a considerably weaker interlayer coupling compared with the Mo- or W-based (Group VI) TMDs. − In the unit cell of 1T″ phase, the Re atoms are interlinked to form diamond-shaped Re 4 chains, giving rise to in-plane anisotropy. Recently, they have also been considered very promising catalysts for HER, although the related research has been lagging behind that of Group VI TMDs. − Activating the basal plane is a natural way to promote the catalytic performance of TMDs. One important strategy for this is doping with TM atoms.…”

Few‐Layered ReS2@CNTs as a High‐Performance Cathode for Aluminum‐Ion Batteries

“…Herein, we report a low‐temperature in situ solvothermal growth of 2D ultra‐thin ReS 2 nanosheets on carbon nanotube (CNTs) as an outstanding cathode material in the AIB. ReS 2 has conventionally been synthesized at 200–240 °C with thiourea as the sulfur source [ 38–48 ] but with the use of thioacetamide, ReS 2 can be obtained at 160 °C. The prepared ReS 2 @CNTs composite shows a self‐assembled network structure with abundant open voids and excellent electrical conductivity, facilitating electrolyte penetration and electron/ion transport during operation.…”

ReS 2 has conventionally been synthesized at 200-240 °C with thiourea as the sulfur source [38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48] but with the use of thioacetamide, ReS 2 With a high theoretical specific capacity of 2978 mAh g −1 , rechargeable aluminum-ion batteries (AIBs) are considered as promising next-generation energy storage devices with higher electrochemical performance. Nevertheless, the search for stable cathode materials with outstanding capacity and rate performance remains elusive.…”
