Description
NbOCl2 crystals by 2Dsemiconductors. NbOCl2 has a layered crystal structure, with covalently bonded NbO layers and Cl ions situated in the interstitial spaces between them. NbOCl2 is a semiconductor material that exhibits an intriguing property of charge-density wave (CDW) formation and quantum light emitters. NbOCl2 has been extensively studied for its unusual electronic properties and the mechanism behind CDW formation and more recently for their quantum emitter properties. It also has potential applications in areas such as energy storage and conversion, as well as in the design of novel electronic devices.
