Deskripsi

Li intercalation of MoS2 induces a transition from the insulating H-phase to the metallic T-phase, with a sharp boundary in between. Here the authors stabilize the intermediate phase in twisted bilayer MoS2, by leveraging the Moiré potential which facilitates fast Li diffusion and uniform intercalation.
