Summary: A novel 2D semiconductor, MoSi2N4 monolayer, has been successfully synthesized and shows promising potential for applications in nanoelectronic devices and catalysis. This study investigates the intrinsic point defects in MoSi2N4 monolayer, including vacancies, antisites, and adatoms, and analyzes their thermodynamic stabilities and electronic properties. The presence of certain defects leads to interesting properties, such as recombination centers, p-type and n-type conducting characters, and unusual resistance-temperature dependence behavior. The migration behavior of point defects is also studied, revealing the relative stability and detectability of different defects. This work provides valuable insights for defect engineering in MoSi2N4 monolayer and its family of materials.

Strain engineering in single-atom catalysts: GaPS4 for bifunctional oxygen reduction and evolution

Xuefei Liu et al.

Summary: This study reports a theoretical investigation on 34 transition metal doped two-dimensional GaPS4 catalysts and explores the method of tuning their activity through strain engineering. It is found that Pt@V-S1-GaPS4 exhibits excellent stability and bifunctional electrocatalytic activity for OER/ORR. Furthermore, the bond angles and the highest occupied orbitals of the doped transition metal atoms are identified as descriptors for explaining the underlying strain tunability mechanism. Machine learning predicts that the number of d electrons, bond length, and electronegativity are the main descriptors determining the catalytic activity.
