Metal chalcogenides

Binary transition metal chacogenide nanotubes and nano-layer structures have been synthesized extensively by Rao and co-workers (see Chapter 13 for details).

As a matter of fact, this book is concerned with sulfur, selenium, and tellurium as components of compound or solid solution systems in which metallic or semimetal-lic elements, whatsoever, participate as well. In particular, it is focused on the electrochemistry of the inorganic compounds of sulfur, selenium, and tellurium with metals and semimetals, which collectively may be termed as metal chalcogenide (MCh) systems.

Metal chalcogenides, apart from their technological significance in industrial applications, have played an important role in the development of new synthetic concepts and methods in the area of solid-state chemistry. A great example is alkali metal intercalation into TiS2 (Chap. 6) first reported three decades ago, which highlighted the then-novel synthetic approach called soft chemistry chimie douce). This low-temperature process allows for new compounds to be obtained while retaining the structural framework of the precursor. Related to this concept is the...
