The stabilities and electronic structures of single-layer bismuth oxyhalides for photocatalytic water splitting.
The stabilities and electronic/band structures of single-layer bismuth oxyhalides have been investigated by employing first-principles calculations. The results indicate that the single-layer bismuth oxyhalide materials, except for BiOF, have robust energetic and dynamical stabilities because of their low formation energies and the absence of imaginary frequencies within the entire Brillouin zo...
متن کاملDirect in situ observations of single Fe atom catalytic processes and anomalous diffusion at graphene edges.
Single-atom catalysts are of great interest because of their high efficiency. In the case of chemically deposited sp(2) carbon, the implementation of a single transition metal atom for growth can provide crucial insight into the formation mechanisms of graphene and carbon nanotubes. This knowledge is particularly important if we are to overcome fabrication difficulties in these materials and fu...
متن کاملElectrochemical reduction of CO2 on graphene supported transition metals - towards single atom catalysts.
In this study, we have investigated the use of single metal atoms supported on defective graphene as catalysts for the electrochemical reduction of CO2 using the first-principles approach and the computational hydrogen electrode model. Reaction pathways to produce a variety of C1 products CO, HCOOH, HCHO, CH3OH and CH4 have been studied in detail for five representative transition metals Ag, Cu...
متن کاملGraphene Nanoribbons: Geometric, Electronic, and Magnetic Properties
Graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) have one-dimensional structures with hexagonal twodimensional carbon lattices, which are stripes of graphene. Their structures and their electronic and magnetic properties have been intensively studied both experimentally and theoretically. Due to their various edge structures, GNRs present different electronic properties ranging from normal semiconductors to spin-po...
متن کاملElectronic π-Delocalization Boosts Catalytic Water Oxidation by Cu(II) Molecular Catalysts Heterogenized on Graphene Sheets.
A molecular water oxidation catalyst based on the copper complex of general formula [(Lpy)CuII]2-, 22-, (Lpy is 4-pyrenyl-1,2-phenylenebis(oxamidate) ligand) has been rationally designed and prepared to support a more extended π-conjugation through its structure in contrast with its homologue, the [(L)CuII]2- water oxidation catalyst, 12- (L is o-phenylenebis(oxamidate)). The catalytic performa...
