2H-NbO₂—a novel van der Waals oxide synthesized by researchers from Japan—exhibits strongly correlated electronic properties with two-dimensional flexibility. By chemically extracting lithium ions ...

Transition metal oxides exhibit a rich interplay between lattice, charge, spin and orbital degrees of freedom, where orbital ordering serves as a fundamental mechanism influencing magnetic ...

2H-NbO2, created by ion extraction from LiNbO2, combines 2D flexibility with correlated states like superconductivity, enabling future quantum devices. However, despite significant progress in 2D ...

Metal valence state was identified as a key factor steering the anion reactivity and thus “indirectly” affecting the Li-bond strength, which further determined the conversion kinetics of lithium (poly ...

TU Delft scientists used plasma treatment with boron (PTB) to build heterojunction solar cells relying on a hole transport layer made of transition metal oxide (TMO) thin films. The device showed ...
