By applying density functional theory (DFT) and ab-initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations, we predict the ultrahigh hydrogen storage capacity of K and Ca decorated single-layer biphenylene sheet (BPS). We have kept various alkali and…

Using a first principles approach, we studied the hydrogen evolution reaction activity of newly synthesized biphenylene and B, N, P decorated biphenylene sheet. hydrogen evolution reaction activity of pristine biphenylene sheet is not…

Efficient adsorption and segregation of Xe & Kr gases is of high importance in commercial as well as nuclear industries. Systematic ab initio calculations reveal that transition metal (TM) decorated boron doped graphene (BDG-TM) sheet can…

We employ first-principles density functional theory (DFT) calculations to investigate the structural, electronic, and catalytic properties of biphenylene supported on various metal substrates. The substrates considered are the (111)…

The energy demands for the growing development of society need to be catered with alternative and green fuels like hydrogen energy for a lasting and sustainable culture. One essential component of the hydrogen economy is the efficiency of…

We perform state-of-the-art calculations for a prototypical dye sensitized solar cell: catechol on rutile TiO$_2$(110). Catechol is often used as an anchoring group for larger more complex organic and inorganic dyes on TiO$_2$ and forms a…

Optimizing the photovoltaic efficiency of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC) based on staggered gap heterojunctions requires a detailed understanding of sub-band gap transitions in the visible from the dye directly to the substrate's…

Borophosphene is investigated for hydrogen storage by density functional theory calculations through Li, Na and Ca decoration. Decoration enhances the binding energy from -0.047 eV/H2 to -0.20 -- -0.42 eV/H2. PDOS and Bader charge analysis…

Biphenylene network (BPN) is a 2D carbon allotrope that exhibits promising potential for applications. In this work, we systematically investigated the adsorption characteristics of Fe atoms on monolayer and bilayer BPN. Structural…

In photocatalysis, the reusability limit of catalysts can contribute to secondary pollution, posing ecological risks. Addressing this, the present study explores the integration of additive manufacturing with photocatalysis by decorating…

Electron transfer (ET) in molecular donor-acceptor dye systems is crucial for charge transport in organic semiconductors. Classically, ET rates should decrease with increasing donor-acceptor distance while the microscopic mechanism is more…

The adsorption/desorption of ethene (C2H4), also commonly known as ethylene, on Fe3O4(001) was studied under ultrahigh vacuum conditions using temperature programmed desorption (TPD), scanning tunneling microscopy, x-ray photoelectron…

In this work, we studied the hydrogen adsorption-desorption properties and storage capacities of Ti functionalized [2,2,2]paracyclophane (PCP222) using density functional theory and molecular dynamic simulation. The Ti atom was bonded…

We have studied the adsorption of bisphenol-A-polycarbonate (BPA-PC) on the alpha-Al2O3(0001) surface using density-functional theory (DFT) with van der Waals (vdW) corrections. The BPA-PC polymer can be divided into its chemical fragments…

The inherent sensitivity of quantum sensors to their physical environment can make them good reporters of parameters such as temperature, pressure, strain, and electric fields. Here, we present a molecular platform for pressure (P) and…

Using a density-functional-based transport method we study the conduction properties of several biphenyl-derived dithiol (BPDDT) molecules wired to gold electrodes. The BPDDT molecules differ in their side groups, which control the degree…
