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 …

Transition metal nitrides (TMN) have recently grabbed immensely appealing as ideal active
materials in energy storage and catalysis fields on account of their remarkable electrical …

Electrides are a unique class of electron-rich materials where excess electrons are localized
in interstitial lattice sites as anions, leading to a range of unique properties and applications …

Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have been serving as one the most critical
components of fast growing technologies, such as the mobile electronic and electrified …

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 …

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 …

This paper deals with a significant family of compounds predicted by simplistic electronic
structure theory to be metals but are, in fact, insulators. This false metallic state has been …

Topochemical reactions have led to great progress in the discovery of new metastable
compounds with novel chemical and physical properties. With these reactions, the overall …

The search for electrides has recently attracted great interest owing to their unique physical
properties, such as superconductivity. Li 5 C has been proposed as a candidate electride …

Electrides, accommodating excess electrons in lattice voids as anions, have attracted
considerable attention in both fundamental research and application development because …
