Conventional electronic rules, including Jellium and Wade–Mingos rules so on, have long been successfully dedicated to design superatoms. These however, rely on altering the intrinsic properties, for example, compositions or number of valence electrons, clusters, which is relatively complicated inconvenient manipulate, especially in experiments. Herein, by employing density functional theory calculations, oriented external electric field (OEEF) was demonstrated possess capability precisely...

Potassium ion batteries (KIBs) have attracted remarkable consideration due to their intrinsic safety and huge availability of potassium. However, the large size K low charge–discharge efficiency are main obstacles progress KIBs. To overcome these hurdles, we chose SnS SnSe monolayers as anodes for KIBs layered structural assemblies, wider surface area accommodate more content, high thermal stabilities. First-principles simulations were carried out study electronic properties storage...

As a bridge between homogeneous and heterogeneous catalyses, single-atom catalysts (SACs), especially the noble metal atoms, have received extensive attention from both fundamental applied perspectives recently. High cost difficulty in synthesis are considerable factors, however, limiting development practical applications of SACs. Thus, seeking for non-noble SACs substituting ones is not only vital importance but also long-standing challenge. Herein, surface modification strategy by...

Hyperhalogens, a superatom featuring the highest known electron affinity (EA), have promising applications in synthesis of superoxidizers. Contributions regarding identified numbers and corresponding design strategies hyperhalogens, however, are scarce. Herein, novel noninvasive dual external field (DEF) strategy, including ligand oriented electric (OEEF), is proposed to construct hyperhalogens. The DEF strategy was shown possess power increase Au8's EA, forming hyperhalogen. Strikingly,...
