Electrochemical energy storage has attracted much attention due to the common recognition of sustainable energy development. Transition metal sulfides and post-transition metal sulfides have been intensively been focused on due to their potential as electrode materials for energy storage applications in different types of capacitors such as supercapacitors and pseudocapacitors, which have high power density and long cycle life. Herein, the physicochemical properties of transition and post-transition metal sulfides, their typical synthesis, structural characterization, and electrochemical energy storage applications are reviewed. Various perspectives on the design and fabrication of transition and post-transition metal sulfides-based electrode materials having capacitive applications are discussed. This review further discusses various strategies to develop transition and/or post-transition metal sulfide heterostructured electrode-based self-powered photocapacitors with high energy storage efficiencies.

A new [DyBiOCl(saph)] () Werner-type cluster has been prepared, which is the first Dy/Bi polynuclear compound with no metal-metal bond and one of the very few Ln-Bi (Ln = lanthanide) heterometallic complexes reported to date. The molecular compound has been deliberately transformed to its 1-D analogue [DyBiO(N)(saph)] () via the replacement of the terminal Cl ions by end-to-end bridging N groups. The overall metallic skeleton of (and ) can be described as consisting of a diamagnetic {Bi} unit with an elongated trigonal bipyramidal topology, surrounded by a magnetic {Dy} equilateral triangle, which does not contain μ-oxo/hydroxo/alkoxo groups.

While crystalline hybrid solids hold great potential as novel semiconductors, most semiconductive hybrids utilize transition metal ions, which inherently limit carrier mobility due to the small band dispersion derived from the d orbitals. The filled s orbitals of post-transition metal ions offer the potential to design dispersed valence bands, but a method to translate the local structure design of these metal ions to valence band engineering is still in development. This study focuses on Pb-containing hybrid crystals, developing a simple strategy to control the Pb coordination geometry through the molecular design of azole ligands.

Seven acetylacetonate (acac) metal complexes ranging from early transition metals to post-transition metals were examined by cyclic voltammetry in acetonitrile (MeCN), dichloromethane (DCM), tetrahydrofuran (THF), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), and dimethylformamide (DMF). The electronic potential of any observed redox events is reported along with an analysis of the reversibility of those events across a range of scan rates. Group 8 compounds Fe(acac) Ru(acac) showed at least quasi-reversible reductions across all solvents while Ru(acac) also featured a reversible oxidation.

GaSe is an important member of the post-transition-metal chalcogenide family and is an emerging two-dimensional (2D) semiconductor material. Because it is a van der Waals material, it can be fabricated into atomic-scale ultrathin films, making it suitable for the preparation of compact, heterostructure devices. In addition, GaSe possesses unusual optical and electronic properties, such as a shift from an indirect-bandgap single-layer film to a direct-bandgap bulk material, rare intrinsic p-type conduction, and nonlinear optical behaviors.
