Free-standing boron nanocages or borospherenes have been observed recently for B40− and B40. There is evidence that a family of may exist. However, the smallest borospherene still not known. Here, we report experimental computational seashell-like cage B28− B28. Photoelectron spectrum indicated contributions from different isomers. Theoretical calculations showed competing global minimum with planar isomer it shown to be present in cluster beam, contributing photoelectron spectrum. The...
Nickel-rich ternary cathodes are highly favored for lithium metal batteries due to their high energy density and operating voltage. However, challenges such as interfacial side reactions, thermal instability, capacity...
A planar, elongated B15(+) cationic cluster is shown to be structurally fluxional and functions as a nanoscale tank tread on the basis of electronic structure calculations, bonding analyses, molecular dynamics simulations. The outer B11 peripheral ring behaves like flexible chain gliding around an inner B4 rhombus core, almost freely at temperature 500 K. rotational energy barrier only 1.37 kcal mol(-1) (0.06 eV) PBE0/6-311+G* level, further refined 1.66 (0.07 single-point...
The defects in perovskite films are one of the most non-negligible factors that can attenuate performances solar cell. This work fabricates defect-reduced film by using lead indicator (dithizone) as an additive functional layer. dithizone retard crystallization rate films, passivate defects, and enhance structure stability coordinating with atoms. As a result, device doped yields outstanding power conversion efficiency stability.
Gas-phase anion photoelectron spectroscopy (PES) is combined with global structural searches and electronic structure calculations at the hybrid Becke 3-parameter exchange functional Lee-Yang-Parr correlation (B3LYP) single-point coupled-cluster single, double, perturbative triple excitations (CCSD(T)) levels to probe properties chemical bonding of B4O40/− clusters.

The concept of boronyl (BO) and the BO/H isolobal analogy build an interesting structural link between boron oxide clusters hydrocarbons. Based upon global-minimum searches first-principles electronic calculations, we present here perfectly planar C2v B5O5 (+) (1, (1)A1), (2, (2)A1), tetrahedral Cs (-) (3, (1)A') clusters, which are global minima systems. Structural molecular orbital analyses indicate that (1) [B3O3(BO)2 (+)] (2) [B3O3(BO)2] feature aromatic six-membered boroxol (B3O3) ring...
We present a combined photoelectron spectroscopy and first-principles theory study on the structural electronic properties chemical bonding of B3O3−/0 B3O3H−/0 clusters. The concerted experimental theoretical data show that global-minimum structures B3O3 B3O3H neutrals are very different from those their anionic counterparts. B3O3− anion is characterized to possess V-shaped OB–B–BO chain with overall C2v symmetry (1A), in which central B atom interacts two equivalent boronyl (B≡O) terminals...

NH2SO3H is an effective nucleation agent for the formation of atmospheric aerosols and cloud particles. So, ammonolysis SO3 to form without with neutral (H2O) basic (NH3) trace gases has been extensively investigated. However, acidic gas X (X = H2SO4 CH3SO3H)-assisted still up debate. In this work, a comprehensive theoretical investigation X-assisted its reverse reaction (the isomerization SO3-···NH3+) was carried out in phase at air-water interface. The gas-phase results show that...
