Graphyne, a single atomic layer structure of the carbon six-member rings connected by one acetilenic linkage, is a promising anode of rechargeable batteries. In this paper, a first-principle study has been carried out on graphyne as a new…

Measuring the transport of electrons through a graphene sheet necessarily involves contacting it with metal electrodes. We study the adsorption of graphene on metal substrates using first-principles calculations at the level of density…

Motivated by the technological relevance of S-doped few-layer graphene (FLG) in battery applications and in the oxygen reduction reaction, we systematically explore the effect of basal plane S-doping on the electronic properties of mono-,…

A principle of enhancement CO adsorption was developed theoretically by using density functional theory through doping Al into graphene. The results show that the Al doped graphene has strong chemisorption of CO molecule by forming Al-CO…

One of the keys behind the success of the modern semiconductor technology has been the ion implantation of silicon, which allows its electronic properties to be tailored. For similar purposes, heteroatoms have been introduced into carbon…

We simulate the optical and electrical responses in gallium-doped graphene. Using density functional theory with a local density approximation, we simlutate the electronic band structure and show the effects of impurity doping (0-3.91\%) in…

Thick Li-ion battery electrodes with high ion transport rates could enable batteries that cost less and that have higher gravimetric and volumetric energy density, because they require fewer inactive cell-components. Finding ways to…

Atomic-scale fabrication is an outstanding challenge and overarching goal for the nanoscience community. The practical implementation of moving and fixing atoms to a structure is non-trivial considering that one must spatially address the…

Li-ion rechargeable batteries have enabled the wireless revolution transforming global communication. Future challenges, however, demands distributed energy supply at a level that is not feasible with the current energy-storage technology.…

Finding electrode materials with high capacity is a key challenge for developing Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Graphene was once expected to be a promising candidate, but it turns out to be too inert to interact with Li. Here, by using the…

Fullerene-based materials including C60 and doped C60 have previously been proposed as anodes for lithium ion batteries. It was also shown earlier that n- and p-doping of small molecules can substantially increase voltages and specific…

Experimental setups for charge transport measurements are typically not compatible with the ultra-high vacuum conditions for chemical doping, limiting the charge carrier density that can be investigated by transport methods. Field-effect…

The thermoelectric properties of polythiophene (PT) coupled to the Au (111) electrodes are studied based on density functional theory combined with nonequilibrium Green function formalism. Specially, the effect of Li and Cl adsorbents on…

The enhanced photocatalytic performance of doped graphene(GR)/semiconductor nanocomposites have recently been widely observed, but an understanding of the underlying mechanisms behind it is still out of reach. As a model system to study the…

We present density functional theory calculations of phosphorus dopants in bulk silicon and of several properties relating to their use as spin qubits for quantum computation. Rather than a mixed pseudopotential or a Heitler-London…

We achieve fine tuning of graphene effective doping by applying ultrahigh pressures (> 10 GPa) using Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) diamond tips. Specific areas in graphene flakes are irreversibly flattened against a SiO2 substrate. Our work…
