Abstract
Oxychalcogenides containing transition metal or p block cations have potential for thermoelectric, photocatalytic and magnetic applications but the synthetic pathways to these quaternary phases are not fully understood. This presents a challenge to the design and preparation of new functional materials. Our combined experimental and computational study of La2O2MQ2 (M = +2 cation; Q = sulfide, selenide anion) systems explores the thermodynamic constraints on synthesis and highlights the subtle balance in stabilities of phases formed via competing reaction pathways.
期刊介绍:
Solid State Sciences is the journal for researchers from the broad solid state chemistry and physics community. It publishes key articles on all aspects of solid state synthesis, structure-property relationships, theory and functionalities, in relation with experiments.
Key topics for stand-alone papers and special issues:
-Novel ways of synthesis, inorganic functional materials, including porous and glassy materials, hybrid organic-inorganic compounds and nanomaterials
-Physical properties, emphasizing but not limited to the electrical, magnetical and optical features
-Materials related to information technology and energy and environmental sciences.
The journal publishes feature articles from experts in the field upon invitation.
