We have investigated a set of sodium cobaltates (NaxCoO2) samples with various sodium content (0.67 \le x \le 0.75) using Nuclear Quadrupole Resonance (NQR). The four different stable phases and an intermediate one have been recognized. The…

Crystal structure prediction methods and first-principles calculations have been used to explore low-energy structures of carbon monoxide (CO). Contrary to the standard wisdom, the most stable structure of CO at ambient pressure was found…

Using magnetron sputtering, we produced a series of Co/CoO-MgO nanoparticles on Si(100) substrates. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) image shows that small isolated Co-clusters (core) covered with CoO (shells) with a…

In order to separate a mixture of hydrogen ($H_2$) and carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) gases, we have proposed a new approach employing the graphdiyne-like membrane (GDY-H) using density functional theory (DFT) calculations and molecular dynamics…

Oxygen exchange at oxide/liquid and oxide/gas interfaces is important in technology and environmental studies, as it is closely linked to both catalytic activity and material degradation. The atomic-scale details are mostly unknown,…

Hybrid organic-inorganic halide perovskites with the prototype material of CH$_{3}$NH$_{3}$PbI$_{3}$ have recently attracted intense interest as low-cost and high-performance photovoltaic absorbers. Despite the high power conversion…

The insulator-metal transition in single crystal La(5/8-y)Pr(y)Ca(3/8)MnO3 with y=0.35 was studied using synchrotron x-ray diffraction, electric resistivity, magnetic susceptibility, and specific heat measurements. Despite the dramatic drop…

The extra CO2 that has already been released into the atmosphere has to be removed in order to create a world that is carbon neutral. Technologies have been created to remove carbon dioxide from wet flue gas or even directly from ambient…

Single crystals of the layered perovskite GdBaCo_{2}O_{5+x} (GBCO) have been grown by the floating-zone method, and their transport, magnetic, and structural properties have been studied in detail over a wide range of oxygen contents. The…

The complex phase diagram of manganites with simultaneously active spin, charge, orbital, and lattice degrees of freedom continues providing surprises. In a recent groundbreaking experiment, membranes of the perovskite manganite…

It is shown that producing PrBaCo2O5 and Ba0.5Sr0.5Co0.8Fe0.2O3 nanoparticle by a scalable synthesis method leads to high mass activities for the oxygen evolution reaction with outstanding improvements by 10 and 50 times, respectively,…

Clean hydrogen production through efficient and cost-effective electrochemical water splitting is highly promising to meeting future global energy demands. The design of Earth-abundant materials with both high activity for hydrogen…

Using density functional theory based calculations, we systematically examine the utility of Sr-M-O and Sr-Ce-M-O perovskites for solar thermochemical water splitting, a promising route for sustainable hydrogen production. Importantly, we…

Renewable energy conversion and storage, and greenhouse gas emission-free technologies are within the primary tasks and challenges for the society. Hydrogen fuel, produced by alkaline water electrolysis is fulfilling all these demands,…

The structure of Na0.5CoO2, the low temperature insulator that separates the magnetic and superconducting regions in the NaxCoO2.yH2O phase diagram, is studied by high resolution powder neutron diffraction at temperatures between 10 and 300…

We present the first experiments of dissolution-driven convection of carbon dioxide (CO$_2$) in a confined brine-saturated porous medium at high pressures. We designed a novel Hele-Shaw cell that allows for both visual and quantitative…

The double perovskite Ba$_{2}$NaOsO$_{6}$ (BNOO), an exotic example of a very high oxidation state (heptavalent) osmium $d^1$ compound and also uncommon by being a ferromagnetic Mott insulator without Jahn-Teller (JT) distortion, is modeled…

Direct simulation results for stationary gas transport through pure silica zeolite membranes (MFI, LTA and DDR types) are presented using a hybrid, non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulation methodology introduced recently. The…

Lead poisoning and notorious ambient instability in lead-based halide perovskites pave the way for the exploration of alternative materials for affordable and efficient solar cell fabrication. An important prerequisite to this end is the…
