Description
Summary:Temperature dependences of electrical conductivity and magnetic susceptibility of intercalates H x NbSe 2 (0 ⩽ x ⩽ 5.2) and D x NbSe 2 (0 ⩽ x ⩽ 0.53) have been studied. A change of the metallic type of conductivity for the semiconducting one for H x NbSe 2 ( x > 1) is related to the structural transition of the 2HTaS 2 → 2HMoS 2 type. D x NbSe 2 (with the exception of x = 0.41) has a metallic type of conductivity. H x NbSe 2, D x NbSe 2 are paramagnets. Their magnetic susceptibility at small contents of hydrogen (deuterium) depends weakly on the temperature. At x > 1 the magnetic susceptibility of intercalates changes according to the Curie-Weiss law. The 2HNbSe 2 treatment with the hydrogen plasma leads to the formation of the H x NbSe 2 intercalates with the 2HTaS 2 and 2HMoS 2 structural type. The temperature rise results in the formation of only 2HTaS 2 structural type. Hydrogen intercalates in considerable quantities in 2HWSe 2 and 2HMoSe 2 (H x WSe 2:0 < x < 3.9; H x MoSe 2:0 < x < 2.08) with the dominating intercalation of hydrogen on cooling. 2H-WSe 2 possesses improved sorption properties as compared to 2HMoSe 2. Hydrogen intercalates of layered dichalcogenides of d-transition metals are promising as new hydrogen-containing materials applied for different purposes.
