Nanowires composed of a 1:1 stoichiometry of transition metals and chalcogen ions can be fabricated from two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) by using electron beam irradiation. Wires fabricated through in situ experiments can be geometrically connected to TMD sheets in various ways, and their physical properties can vary accordingly. Understanding the structural transformation caused by electron beams is critical for designing wire-sheet structures for nanoelectronics. In this study, we report the behavior of nanowires formed inside a monolayer MoS sheet by combining phase-contrast images and large-scale atomistic modeling. We investigate the effect of vacancies on the dynamic evolution of wires, such as rotations with different edge structures and breaking, by considering the interactions between MoS wires and MoS nanosheets. The obtained insights can be applied to other monolayer TMDs to guide the behavior of TMD wires and fabricate favorable geometries for various applications.

The effects of severe plastic deformation on NiTi alloys' structure and properties have been extensively studied over the past decades. However, there is a notable lack of systematic data regarding the impact of industrial hot deformation techniques on these alloys. This gap arises from challenges in manufacturing processes related to the unevenness of ingots produced by casting technologies.

Incorporating transition metal atoms into metal-molecule-metal junctions presents opportunities for exploring the electronic properties of coordination complexes, organometallics and metal-organic materials on the single molecule level. Recent single molecule conductance studies have shown that incorporation of electrode metal atoms into coordination chains formed in the junction can occur with deprotonated, negatively charged organic ligands, such as the imidazolate (Im) anion. However, the mechanism and chemical principles, such as the role of the charge state of the ligand, for the construction of such coordination chains are still debated.

The interaction of small molecules with low-dimensional structures plays a major role in many important practical processes such as metal hydride formation, energy storage systems, and catalysis. In this work, we carried out first-principles density functional theory calculations of hydrogen and oxygen adsorption as well as their diffusion on subnanometer MoS nanowires. The nanowires are robust against adsorption of hydrogen.

Lithium-sulfur batteries are one of the most promising next-generation energy storage systems. The efficient interconversion between sulfur/lithium polysulfides and lithium sulfide is a performance-determining factor for lithium-sulfur batteries. Herein, a novel strategy to synthesize a unique tube-in-tube CNT-wired sulfur-deficient MoS nanostructure embedding cobalt atom clusters as an efficient polysulfide regulator is successfully conducted in Li-S batteries.
