Solar-driven seawater evaporation is usually achieved on floating evaporators, but the performances are substantially limited by high enthalpy, solid salt crystallization, and reduced due to inclined sunlight. To solve these problems, we fabricated hierarchical polyacrylonitrile@copper sulfide (PAN@CuS) fabrics proposed a prototype of heliotropic evaporator. Hierarchical PAN@CuS show significantly decreased water-evaporation enthalpy (1956.32 kJ kg-1, 40 °C), compared with that pure water...
Two-dimensional phosphorene with desirable optoelectronic properties (ideal band gap, high carrier mobility, and strong visible light absorption) is a promising metal-free photocatalyst for water splitting. However, the edge positions of valence maximum (VBM) conduction (CBM) are higher than redox potentials in photocatalytic splitting reactions. Thus, can only be used as photocathode hydrogen evolution reaction low-efficiency visible-light-driven production solar cells. Here, we propose new...
Recently, a new type of two-dimensional layered material, i.e. nitrogenated holey structure C2N-h2D, has been synthesized using simple wet-chemical reaction and used to fabricate field-effect transistor device (Nat.

Because interlayer coupling mainly in terms orbital interaction, band this system, especially splitting bands gap,...
Abstract Photocatalytic H 2 evolution technique has been proved to be one of the promising approaches overcome present energy and environmental issues caused by combustion fossil fuel. Constructing heterojunction can realize efficient separation migration charges thus achieve enhanced performance. Herein, we designed prepared a ZnIn S 4 /BiFeO 3 photocatalyst with 3D/2D structure via an ultrasonic self‐assembly process. The typical intimate interface was obtained, which not only provided...
Density functional theory calculations have been carried out to investigate single-layer phosphorene functionalized with two kinds of organic molecules, i.e., an electrophilic molecule tetracyano-p-quinodimethane (TCNQ) as electron acceptor and a nucleophilic tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) donor. The TCNQ introduces shallow states in the gap close valence band edge, which makes doped system become p-type semiconductor. However, when TTF is adsorbed on phosphorene, occupied molecular introduced...

Combining the electronic properties of graphene and molybdenum disulphide (MoS$_2$) monolayers in two-dimensional (2D) ultrathin hybrid nanocomposites have been synthesized experimentally to create excellent electronic, electrochemical, photovoltaic, photoresponsive memory devices.

The accurate prediction of landslide susceptibility relies on effectively handling absence samples in machine learning (ML) models. However, existing research tends to generate these feature space, posing challenges field validation, or using physics-informed models, thereby limiting their applicability. rapid progress interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) technology may bridge this gap by offering satellite images with extensive area coverage and precise surface deformation...
Correlated materials with open-shell $d$ and $f$ ions having degenerate band-edge states show a rich variety of interesting properties ranging from metal-insulator transition to unconventional superconductivity. The textbook view for the electronic structure these is that mean-field approaches are inappropriate, as interelectronic interaction U required open band gap between occupied unoccupied while retaining symmetry. We latter scenario often defining what Mott insulators in fact not...
Recent discovery of superconductivity in the doped infinite-layer nickelates has renewed interest understanding nature high-temperature more generally. The low-energy electronic structure parent compound NdNiO$_{2}$, role correlations driving superconductivity, and possible relationship betweeen cuprates are still open questions.

Atomically precise nanoclusters are promising model catalysts to understand the relationship between structure and catalytic activity. However, designing efficient active sites remains challenging because highly covered ligands obscure metal sites. Herein, we reported a Pd6(S-Adm)6(PPh3)(PPh) nanocluster, which shows high selectivity in semihydrogenation of aromatic alkyne. The Pd6 nanocluster has unique chair structure, where pan is composed coplanar Pd atoms, back two S-Adm ligands, legs...
