Topochemical synthesis of phase-pure MoAlB through staging mechanism

Phase-pure Mo 2 AlB 2 with a single Al layer, a possible precursor for MBenes, was synthesized topochemically by the removal of an Al layer from MoAlB. Ab initio calculations predicted the sequential staging transformation from MoAlB through Mo 4 Al 3 B 4 (stage II) to Mo 2 AlB 2 (stage I). Phase-pu...
