Select early-transition metal carbides have significant catalytic and electrocatalytic applications, including fuel cell reactions and biomass conversion. The hydrogen-transfer reaction rates of these carbides is comparable to expensive, less abundant materials. Therefore, the preparation of monod…

Two-Dimensional van der Waals materials have shown great promise for a variety of electronic, optoelectronic, sensing, and energy conversion applications. To meet the need for clean energy production, photovoltaic cells and thermoelectric modules require advanced semiconducting materials that incr…
