Abstract
- Multiple polytypes of MoTe <subscript>2</subscript> with distinct structures and intriguing electronic properties can be accessed by various physical and chemical approaches. Here, we report electrochemical lithium (Li) intercalation into 1T'-MoTe <subscript>2</subscript> nanoflakes, leading to the discovery of two previously unreported lithiated phases. Distinguished by their structural differences from the pristine 1T' phase, these distinct phases were characterized using in situ polarization Raman spectroscopy and in situ single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The lithiated phases exhibit increasing resistivity with decreasing temperature, and their carrier densities are two to 4 orders of magnitude smaller than the metallic 1T' phase, as probed through in situ Hall measurements. The discovery of these gapped phases in initially metallic 1T'-MoTe <subscript>2</subscript> underscores electrochemical intercalation as a potent tool for tuning the phase stability and electron density in two-dimensional (2D) materials.
