Using the density functional theory calculations, we systematically investigate structures and properties of silicene-like SiX XSi3 (X = B, C, N, Al, P) hexagonal heterosheets. For systems, SiP sheet favors a chairlike buckled structure akin to silicene, SiB, SiN, SiAl ones prefer washboard-like buckling type, SiC adopts flat plane as graphene. The planarity is also favored in sheets with X while rests N P structures. energetic stabilities mechanical are investigated for these all...
Using first-principles calculations, we investigate the adsorption characteristics of alkali, alkaline-earth, nonmetallic, transition, and noble metal adatoms on phosphorene. The adsorption-induced tunable electronic structures are comparatively studied two representative phosphorene, i.e., black blue phosphorus (P) nanosheets. Both P sheets exhibit good capability to foreign atoms, which binding energies stronger than BN, SiC, MoS2, or graphene sheets. On sheet, most prefer adsorb hollow...
Identifying the dynamic structure of heterogeneous catalysts is crucial for rational design new ones. In this contribution, structural evolution Fe(0) during CO2 hydrogenation to hydrocarbons has been investigated by using several (quasi) in situ techniques. Upon initial reduction, Fe species are carburized Fe3C and then Fe5C2. The by-product hydrogenation, H2O, oxidizes iron carbide Fe3O4. formation Fe3O4@(Fe5C2+Fe3O4) core-shell was observed at steady state, surface composition depends on...
Lithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries exhibit unparalleled theoretical capacity and energy density than conventional lithium ion batteries, but they are hindered by the dissatisfactory "shuttle effect" sluggish conversion kinetics owing to low transport kinetics, resulting in rapid fading. Herein, a catalytic two-dimensional heterostructure composite is prepared evenly grafting mesoporous carbon on MXene nanosheet (denoted as OMC-g-MXene), serving interfacial kinetic accelerators Li–S batteries....
A kind of highly sensitive bifunctional sensing hydrogel composed dense and small-size AgNP modified carbon nanotubes was studied, its application in underwater water pressure temperature detection demonstrated.
Abstract Flexible wearable strain sensors have received extensive attention in human–computer interaction, soft robotics, and human health monitoring. Despite significant efforts developing stretchable electronic materials structures, flexible with stable interfaces low hysteresis remains a challenge. Herein, Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene/AgNWs/liquid metal (MAL sensor) self‐healing function are developed by exploiting the strong interactions between MXene/AgNWs/LM disulfide hydrogen bonds inside...
Abstract Although in‐plane heterostructure with high ion transport pathway and unique interfacial atomic structure offers endless possibilities in the catalysis field, it is still challenging to directly synthesize MXene‐based due differences crystal structures growth conditions. Here, Mo 2 C–MoS multi‐heterostructures are synthesized by topological conversion of sandwich‐like mesoporous C–SiO layers sulfur vapor subsequent removal SiO . During process, exposed C will efficiently converted...
Silicene is the graphene-like silicon nanosheet, which has been synthesized very recently [B. Lalmi, H. Oughaddou, Enriquez, A. Kara, S. Vizzini, B. Ealet, and Aufray, Appl. Phys. Lett. 97, 223109 (2010)]. Using first-principles calculations, we systematically investigate structures properties of fluorinated hydrogenated silicene, analogues graphane. Different from carbon-counterpart, fluorination prefers conformation with a zigzag-line buckling, while hydrogenation keeps chair similar to A...
Arsenene and antimonene, i.e. two-dimensional (2D) As Sb monolayers, are the recently proposed cousins of phosphorene (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed., 54, 3112 (2015)). Through first-principle calculations, we systematically investigate electronic transport properties corresponding nanoribbons, which cut from arsenene antimonene nanosheets. We find that different 2D systems, band features nanoribbons dependent on edge shapes. All armchair As/Sb keep indirect gap feature, while zigzag ones transfer to...
Using first principles calculations, we investigate the stabilities and electronic properties of graphene nanoribbons which are embedded in boron nitride (BN) sheets. We find that carbon atoms doped BN sheets have stable hexagonal configurations can form one-dimensional under suitable chemical potential conditions. All armchair semiconductors. While for zigzag ones, wide become half-metals.
Although Dirac-like electronic properties are predicted for silicene, recent experiments find substrate-induced complex bucklings would destruct such feature [C.-L. Lin et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 110, 076801 (2013)]. Here, using first-principles calculations, we propose that the recently synthesized gallium sulfide (GaS) nanosheet could be an appropriate substrate which can form commensurate Si/GaS heterosheets akin to graphene/BN systems. More importantly, in these heterosheets,...
Hydrogenation helps to stabilize pentagonal silicene sheets, whose one-dimensional nanoribbons are intriguing bipolar magnetic semiconductors.

Activated carbon honeycomb supported manganese and cerium oxides (MnOx–CeO2/ACH) catalysts were investigated for selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO at low temperatures 80–200 °C. Compared with ACH oxide catalyst (MnOx/ACH), MnOx–CeO2/ACH show much higher SCR activity selectivity to N2. conversion can be improved by the addition CeO2 from less than 50% 100% 80–160 The N2 99.8% is obtained over Ce(1)Mn/ACH Results indicate that improves distribution MnOx enhances oxidation NO2,...
