substitution of two or four carbon atoms by nitrogen in the corannulene molecule as a carbon nanostructure was done and the obtained structures were optimized at mp2/6-31g(d) level of theory. calculations of the nucleus-independent chemical shift (nics) were performed to analyze the aromaticity of the corannulene rings and its derivatives upon doping with n at b3lyp/6-31g(d) level of theory. re...

Graphene films prepared from solution and deposited by Langmuir–Blodgett self-assembly technique (LBSA) were treated with radio-frequency (13.56 MHz) nitrogen plasma in order to investigate the influence of time exposure on work function, sheet resistance, surface morphology LBSA graphene films. Kelvin probe force microscopy resistance measurements confirm functionalization our films, Fermi lev...

The Cover Feature illustrates FeCo oxide nanoparticles supported on heteroatom-functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes as a bifunctional catalyst for the oxygen reduction and evolution reactions. Nitrogen functionalization of allows controlling nanoparticle dispersion localization, while optimal degree nitrogen doping results in an enhancement electrical conductivity, which together boost ...
