Triply bridging borylene and boryl–borylene complexes in hetero-trimetallic template have been synthesized structurally characterized by NMR, UV-vis, IR spectroscopy mass spectrometry, single crystal X-ray study.
van der Waals (vdW) metal chalcogenides have been extensively investigated as electrocatalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER); however, majority of these materials only edges are active, thereby wasting most materials' surfaces. Recent research has focused on finding new with active basal planes. Herein, first time, we demonstrate that hexagonal vdW Fe3GeTe2 (FGT), also a spintronic candidate material, shows both plane and edge site HER activities. Partial exfoliation bulk FGT...
Abstract Upcycling of recycled LiNi 0.6 Mn 0.2 Co O 2 (NMC622) cathodes offers an economical route to produce cathode materials with increased energy density (i.e., 0.8 0.1 , NMC811) that meet the performance needs present‐day electric vehicles. In this work, solid‐state upcycling NMC622 via calcination Ni(OH) and LiOH was monitored using in situ synchrotron powder X‐ray diffraction measurements. Sequential Rietveld refinements indicate proceeds by initially converting a rocksalt NiO phase...
Semiconductors have been studied as the most promising thermoelectric materials for past decades due to their high Seebeck coefficient. Semimetals usually a small coefficient difference in density of states between electrons and holes, compensating each other longitudinal direction. However, recent studies suggested that semimetals with large asymmetry holes could be good candidates. Here, we report crystal structure properties layered van der Waals semimetal ZrTiSe4. Micrometer-sized single...
Abstract Raman scattering is performed on Fe 3 GeTe 2 (FGT) at temperatures from 8 to 300 K and under pressures the ambient pressure 9.43 GPa. Temperature‐dependent pressure‐dependent spectra are reported. The results reveal respective anomalous softening moderate stiffening of two active modes as a result increase pressure. suggests anharmonic phonon dynamics strong spin–phonon coupling. Pressure‐dependent density functional theory calculations conducted used study magnetic properties FGT...
Glial cells perform numerous functions to support neuron development and function, including axon wrapping, formation of the blood brain barrier, enhancement synaptic transmission. We have identified a novel gene, raw, which in glia central peripheral nervous systems Drosophila. Reducing Raw levels results morphological defects ventral nerve cord, as well revealed by decreased locomotion crawling assays. Examination number along nerves reveals reduction glial upon raw knockdown. The reduced...
Abstract The quinary members in the solid solution Hf 2 Fe 1− δ Ru 5− x Ir + B ( =1–4, VE=63–66) have been investigated experimentally and computationally. They were synthesized via arc‐melting analyzed by EDX X‐ray diffraction. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations predicted a preference for magnetic ordering all members, but with strong competition between ferro‐ antiferromagnetism arising from interchain Fe−Fe interactions. spin exchange anisotropy energies lowest hardness =1 3...
The metal borides, Hf2MOs5B2 (M = Mn, Fe, Co), which are the first Os-rich quaternary variants of prolific Ti3Co5B2 structure type, were investigated computationally and experimentally. In their crystal structures, osmium builds a network prisms, in other elements located. magnetic M found face-connected Os8 square prisms leading to M-chains with intra- interchain distances about 3.0 6.5 Å, respectively. Density functional theory (DFT) showed that ordering is hugely favored for Mn Fe but...
Abstract Recent research on van der Waals (vdW) metal chalcogenides electrocatalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) has been devoted to finding new catalysts with active basal planes. Here, we report experimental and theoretical investigations of HER activity a recently discovered iron‐rich vdW spintronic material, Fe 5 Ge 2 Te (FG2T) in alkaline media (1 M KOH). We show that densified electrode FG2T requires an overpotential only −90.5 mV drive current density 10 mA/cm . Free...
Two new rod-packing metal-organic frameworks (RPMOF) are constructed by regulating the in situ formation of capping agent. In CPM-s7, carboxylate linkers extend 1D manganese-oxide chains four additional directions, forming 3D RPMOF. The substitution Mn2+ with a stronger Lewis acidic Co2+ , leads to an acceleration hydrolysis-prone sulfonate linker, resulting presence sulfate ions reduce two out carboxylate-extending and thus 2D CPM-s8. Density functional theory calculations magnetization...
