A research team affiliated with UNIST has reported a novel synthesis strategy that enables the direct intercalation of a wide range of metal cations into the interlayer spaces of layered titanate (LT) structures. This approach opens new possibilities for designing highly tailored catalysts and energy storage materials for specific industrial applications.

Professors Seungho Cho (Department of Materials Science and Engineering), Kwangjin An (School of Energy and Chemical Engineering), and Hu Young Jeong (Graduate School of Semiconductor Materials and Devices Engineering) at UNIST, in collaboration with Professor Jeong Woo Han from Seoul National University, report this advancement in Advanced Materials.
