Two-Dimensional Metallic Nite2 With Ultrahigh Environmental Stability, Conductivity, And Electrocatalytic Activity
ACS NANO(2020)
摘要
Two-dimensional (2D) metallic transition metal dichalcogenides (MTMDCs) supply a versatile platform for investigating newfangled physical issues and developing potential applications in electronics/spintronics/electrocatalysis. Among these, NiTe2 (a type-II Dirac semimetal) possesses a Dirac point near its Fermi level. However, as-prepared 21) MTMDCs are mostly environmentally unstable, and little attention has been paid to synthesizing such materials. Herein, a general chemical vapor deposition (CVD) approach has been designed to prepare thickness-tunable and large-domain (similar to 1.15 mm) 1T-NiTe, on an atomically flat mica substrate. Significantly, ultrahigh conductivity (similar to 1.15 x 10(6) S m(-1)) of CVD-synthesized 1T-NiTe2 and high catalytic activity in pH-universal hydrogen evolution reaction have been uncovered. More interestingly, the 2D 1T-NiTe2 maintains robust environmental stability for more than one year and even after a variety of harsh treatments. These results hereby fill an existing research gap in synthesizing environmentally stable 2D MTMDCs, making fundamental progress in developing 2D MTMDC-based devices/catalysts.
