Popis: Electrides, which are ionic crystals composed of excess anionic electrons, are of great interest as an exotic material for fundamental research and practical applications in broad fields of science and technology. However, an inherent chemical instability under ambient conditions at room temperature has been a fatal drawback to be addressed. Here, we report that transition metal-rich monochalcogenides are an emerging class of low-dimensional electrides with excellent chemical and thermal stability in air and water at room temperature through a comprehensive exploration of theoretical prediction and experimental verification. We predict new two-dimensional (2D) electrides crystallized in hexagonal
