Effect of intrinsic point defects on the catalytic and electronic properties of Cu2WS4 single layer: Ab initio calculations

Tarik Ouahrani et al.

Summary: The challenges brought by climate change call for the improvement and discovery of materials for green technology development. This study investigates the role of anionic and cationic vacancy defects and the nature of active sites in the catalytic activation of Cu2WS4 single layers. By using density functional theory calculations, the stability of pristine and defective structures of Cu2WS4 has been thoroughly studied. The formation enthalpy analysis indicates that Cu vacancy is the most favorable chemically, while the adsorption energy shows that the presence of such vacancies slightly enhances the hydrogen evolution reaction. On the other hand, the formation of an S vacancy considerably magnifies the same reaction in Cu2WS4 single layers.

Enhancing efficiency of the ternary tri- chalcogenide MnPSe3 towards hydrogen evolution reaction by activating its basal plane

Megha et al.

Summary: The feasibility of activating the basal planes of MnPSe3 for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) by internal regulation of substitutional doping is studied. The activity of the planes is significantly improved by certain dopants, as indicated by the calculated change in H adsorption free energy ΔGH* values. The formation energy of each material is calculated to check the energetic favorability of such substitutional doping, and the activity enhancement at different dopant concentrations is also tested. Three elements, Sc, Y, and Mo, out of a total of 19, are found to activate the basal planes with ΔGH* values of 0.24, 0.18, and 0.23 eV, respectively, suggesting the potential for increasing the efficiency of MnPSe3 as an HER catalyst. An interesting correlation between the electronic densities of states and the calculated ΔGH* values is also observed.

High-pressure effect on the superconductivity of NaAlGe and pressure-induced structural phase transition

E. Karaca et al.

Summary: The structural, electronic, phonon, and electron-phonon properties of NaAlGe under high pressure were investigated using density-functional theory simulations. It was found that the electronic states near the Fermi level, responsible for electrical conductivity, are mainly composed of Ge 4d states. The largest contribution to the average electron-phonon coupling parameter comes from Ge-related vibrations, with a calculated value of approximately 0.609. The superconducting critical temperature at ambient pressure was calculated to be 2.31 K, consistent with the experimentally obtained value of 1.80 K. Increasing pressure leads to a decrease in the electronic density of states at the Fermi energy (DOS) and superconductivity is suppressed at 12 GPa. The phonon dispersion at different pressures indicates a dynamical instability at 13 GPa, suggesting a structural phase transition. The high-pressure phase is proposed to be orthorhombic with space group Pnma and does not exhibit superconductivity. The pressure dependence of unit-cell parameters, Raman- and infrared-active phonons of both low-pressure and high-pressure phases is also reported.

Electronic structure of two-dimensional-layered PbTiO3 perovskite crystal: an extended tight-binding study based on DFT

Fatih Ahmet Celik

Summary: The electronic structure of bulk and slab PbTiO3 perovskite crystal is investigated using extended-tight binding calculations. It is found that the bandgap of bulk PbTiO3 is 4.3 eV, in good agreement with experimental data. For slab PbTiO3 with different layers, the bandgap decreases as the number of layers increases. The total and partial density of states for the slab, as well as the surface formation energies, are discussed.

Freestanding perovskite oxide monolayers as two-dimensional semiconductors

Xiang-Bo Xiao et al.

Summary: Researchers have discovered three stable freestanding oxide 2D monolayers using first-principles method, which are wide-gap semiconductors with large out-of-plane dipoles. The optical properties of these monolayers have been investigated and compared with graphene and MoS2. These findings are believed to be useful in novel electronic and optoelectronic devices utilizing emerging phenomena in perovskite oxide heterostructures.

Fighting Health Hazards in Lead Halide Perovskite Optoelectronic Devices with Transparent Phosphate Salts

Endre Horvath et al.

Summary: Organic-inorganic lead halide perovskite solar cells have high efficiency but face challenges due to their lead content, which can be harmful to the environment and human health. Researchers propose a solution by incorporating phosphate salts into photovoltaic devices to prevent lead from spreading into the environment, potentially reducing the environmental risk of lead halide perovskite solar cells.

How Stable Are 2H-MoS2 Edges under Hydrogen Evolution Reaction Conditions?

Nawras Abidi et al.

Summary: Transition-metal dichalcogenides like MoS2 are promising electrocatalysts for hydrogen production via the HER, with the 50%S S-edge potentially being active for HER. Adsorbed hydrogen on MoS2 interacts with sulfur to form HER-active sites, with the presence of water and OH influencing the stability and evolution of the edges over time.

Summary: In recent years, the library of 2D materials has been enriched with novel crystal architectures endowed with diverse functionalities. Perovskites, including metal-halide and oxide systems, provide access to a myriad of properties through molecular engineering. By reducing the dimensionality of perovskites to two-dimensional monolayers, new physics and next-generation multifunctional devices are expected to be revealed.
