Advances in materials and applications of inorganic electrides

H Hosono, M Kitano - Chemical Reviews, 2021 - ACS Publications
Electrides are materials in which electrons serve as anions. Here, the concept of inorganic
electrides is extended in several respects: from ionic crystals to intermetallic compounds in …

van der Waals layered materials: opportunities and challenges

DL Duong, SJ Yun, YH Lee - ACS nano, 2017 - ACS Publications
Since graphene became available by a scotch tape technique, a vast class of two-

Water Durable Electride Y5Si3: Electronic Structure and Catalytic Activity for Ammonia Synthesis

Y Lu, J Li, T Tada, Y Toda, S Ueda… - Journal of the …, 2016 - ACS Publications
We report an air and water stable electride Y5Si3 and its catalytic activity for direct ammonia
synthesis. It crystallizes in the Mn5Si3-type structure and confines 0.79/fu anionic electrons …

BaCu, a two-dimensional electride with Cu anions

B Wan, Y Yuan, L Zheng, Y Xu, S Zhao… - Journal of the …, 2024 - ACS Publications
The electron-rich characteristic and low work function endow electrides with excellent
performance in (opto) electronics and catalytic applications; these two features are closely …

Machine Learning-Accelerated Discovery of A2BC2 Ternary Electrides with Diverse Anionic Electron Densities

Z Wang, Y Gong, ML Evans, Y Yan… - Journal of the …, 2023 - ACS Publications
This study combines machine learning (ML) and high-throughput calculations to uncover
new ternary electrides in the A 2 BC 2 family of compounds with the P 4/mbm space group …

Emergent kagome electrides

JY You, B Gu, G Su, YP Feng - Journal of the American Chemical …, 2022 - ACS Publications
In a two-dimensional (2D) Kagome lattice, the ideal Kagome bands including Dirac cones,
van Hove singularities, and a flat band are highly expected, because they can provide a …

Electrides: a review

C Liu, SA Nikolaev, W Ren, LA Burton - Journal of Materials Chemistry …, 2020 - pubs.rsc.org
Electrides are systems in which an electron is not bound to an atom and plays an active role
in the materials structure. We present concise summaries of the different types of electride in …

Sc2C, a 2D Semiconducting Electride

LM McRae, RC Radomsky, JT Pawlik… - Journal of the …, 2022 - ACS Publications
Electrides are exotic materials that typically have electrons present in well-defined lattice
sites rather than within atoms. Although all known electrides have an electropositive metal …

Computer-assisted inverse design of inorganic electrides

Y Zhang, H Wang, Y Wang, L Zhang, Y Ma - Physical Review X, 2017 - APS
Electrides are intrinsic electron-rich materials enabling applications as excellent electron
emitters, superior catalysts, and strong reducing agents. There are a number of organic …
