We have succeeded in synthesizing new intercalation superconductors Lix(C2H8N2)yMoSe2 and Lix(C6H16N2)yMoSe2 with Tc = 4.2 and 3.8-6.0 K, respectively, via the co-intercalation of lithium and ethylenediamine or hexamethylenediamine into semiconducting 2H-MoSe2. It has been found that the Tc values are related not to the interlayer spacing between MoSe2 layers so much but to the electronic density of states (EDOS) at the Fermi level. Moreover, only Li-intercalated LixMoSe2 with a small interlayer spacing has been found to be non-superconducting. Accordingly, it has been concluded that not only a sufficient amount of EDOS at the Fermi level due to the charge transfer from intercalated Li to MoSe2 layers but also the enhancement of the two-dimensionality of the crystal structure and/or electronic structure due to the expansion of the interlayer spacing between MoSe2 layers is necessary for the appearance of superconductivity in MoSe2-based intercalation superconductors. The pairing mechanism and the analogy to the superconductivity in the electric double-layer transistors of 2H-MoX2 (X = S, Se, Te) are discussed.

New superconductors, Li$_x$(C$_n$H$_{2n+3}$N)$_y$Fe$_{1-z}$Se ($n$ = 6, 8, 18), have been synthesized via the co-intercalation of linear monoamines together with Li into FeSe. The distance between neighboring Fe layers expands up to 55.7 {AA} for n = 18, which is much larger than the previous record of 19 {AA} in the FeSe-based intercalation superconductors. Tc remains saturated at $sim$42 K.
New intercalation superconductors of Li$_x$(C$_2$H$_8$N$_2$)$_y$TiSe$_2$ and Li$_x$(C$_6$H$_{16}$N$_2$)$_y$TiSe$_2$ with $T_{rm c}$ = 4.2 K have successfully been synthesized via the co-intercalation of lithium and ethylenediamine or hexamethylenedia mine into 1T-TiSe$_2$. Moreover, it has been found that both intercalation compounds of Li$_x$TiSe$_2$ and (C$_2$H$_8$N$_2$)$_y$TiSe$_2$ also show superconductivity with $T_{rm c}$ = 2.4 K and 2.8 K, respectively. These results indicate that both the electron doping due to the intercalation of lithium and the expansion of the interlayer spacing between TiSe2 layers due to the intercalation of diamines suppress the charge density wave in 1T-TiSe$_2$, leading to the appearance of superconductivity.
The superconductivity and intercalation statein the lithium-and hexamethylenediamine (HMDA)-intercalated superconductor Li$_x$(C$_6$H$_{16}$N$_2$)$_y$Fe$_{2-z}$Se$_2$ have been investigated from powder x-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric and magneti c susceptibility measurements, changing the intercalation temperature, $T_i$, and the Li content, $x$. Both Li and HMDA have been co-intercalated stably up to $x$ = 2 roughly in the molar ratio of $x : y = 2 : 1$. In the case of $T_i$ = 45$^circ$C, it has been found that both Li and HMDA are co-intercalated locally at the edge of FeSe crystals, indicating that both Li and HMDA are hard to diffuse into the inside of FeSe crystals at 45$^circ$C. In the case of $T_i$ = 100$^circ$C, on the other hand, it has been found that both Li and HMDA diffuse into the inside of FeSe crystals, so that $T_c$ tends to increase with increasing $x$ from ~30 K at $x$ = 1 up to 38 K at $x$ = 2 owing to the increase of electron carriers doped from Li into the FeSe layers.
We systematically investigated the superconducting properties and the interplay between charge-density-waves (CDW) and superconductivity in lithium-intercalated 2H-TaS2. By gradually increasing the lithium content x, the CDW formation temperature is continuously suppressed, and the onset temperature of superconductivity is increased with a maximum transition temperature Tc = 3.5 K for x = 0.096. The bulk nature of superconductivity is confirmed by a superconducting shielding fraction of the order of unity for this composition. The electronic contribution to the specific heat and Hall resistivity data demonstrate that the CDW weakens with lithium-intercalation, thereby indirectly increasing carrier density and boosting superconductivity. While the sign of the charge carriers in undoped 2H-TaS2 changes from electron-like to hole type near the CDW formation temperature around 75 K, the lithium intercalated LixTaS2 show predominantly hole-type carriers in the CDW phase even for very low lithium contents.
New FeSe-based intercalation superconductors, $A_x$(C$_8$H$_{11}$N)$_y$Fe$_{1-z}$Se ($A$ = Li, Na), with $T_mathrm{c}$ = 39-44 K have been successfully synthesized via the intercalation of alkali metals and 2-phenethylamine into FeSe. The interlayer spacings, namely, the distances between neighboring Fe layers, $d$, of $A_x$(C$_8$H$_{11}$N)$_y$Fe$_{1-z}$Se ($A$ = Li, Na) are 19.04(6) and 18.0(1) {AA}, respectively. These $d$ values are the largest among those of the FeSe-based intercalation compounds and are understood to be due to the intercalation of two molecules of 2-phenethylamine in series perpendicular to the FeSe layers. It appears that the relationship between $T_mathrm{c}$ and $d$ in the FeSe-based intercalation superconductors is not domic but $T_mathrm{c}$ is saturated at ~ 45 K, which is comparable to the $T_mathrm{c}$ values of single-layer FeSe films, for $d$ $geq$ 9 {AA}.
