Transition Metal Carbides and Nitrides in Energy Storage and Conversion

High-performance electrode materials are the key to advances in the areas of energy conversion and storage (e.g., fuel cells and batteries). In this Review, recent progress in the synthesis and electrochemical application of transition metal carbides (TMCs) and nitrides (TMNs) for energy storage and conversion is summarized. Their electrochemical properties in Li-ion and Na-ion batteries as wel...

Elastic Properties of Transition Metal Nitrides and Carbides

In this paper, we study the elastic properties (i.e. Bulk modulus B) of a series of early transition metal mono-nitrides and carbides crystallize in the NaCl-type face centered cubic (FCC) structure has been investigated using plasma oscillation theory of solids. The same approach has previously been applied to rock-salt structured rare-earth mono-chalcogenides [J. Alloys and Compd. 537 (2012) ...

3d transition metal doping of semiconducting boron carbides

The introduction metallocenes, in particular ferrocene (Fe(η-C5H5)2), cobaltocene (Co(η-C5H5)2), and nickelocene (Ni(η-C5H5)2), together with the carborane source molecule closo-1,2-dicarbadodecaborane, during plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition, will result in the transition metal doping of semiconducting boron carbides. Here we report using ferrocene to introduce Fe dopants, and a semic...
