The controlled positioning and assembly of functional molecules into ordered nanostructures on surfaces depends on the interplay of multiple interactions on different strength and length scales. On metal surfaces, the relatively strong molecule-substrate interactions can constrain the molecules to adsorb in registry with the surface periodicity and lock them into specific adsorption sites. This can significantly reduce the structural tunability of the molecular nanostructure arrays formed. Inert graphite has a smooth potential-energy surface as well as relatively weak interfacial interactions with adsorbed molecules, and is therefore chosen as a supporting substrate for constructing molecular nanostructures with a high degree of controllability and tunability. The aim of this article is to highlight recent progress in the fabrication of self-assembled molecular nanostructures on inert graphite surfaces in ultra-high vacuum, with particular emphasis on the role of intermolecular interactions in the self-assembly process. We describe the formation of tunable two-dimensional (2D) binary molecular networks by directional and selective hydrogen bonding, as well as the templating effect of these 2D molecular networks, demonstrating the rational design and construction of long-range ordered 2D molecular nanostructures with desired functionality.

Yuan Liu, Xu Lian, Chonglai Jiang, Zejun Sun, Jinlin Yang, Yishui Ding, Wei Chen

Summary: To stabilize sodium metal anodes (SMAs), various strategies have been developed, including employing anode hosts and electrolyte additives to establish protective layers. In this study, the interaction mechanism between sodium metal and sulfur-containing functional groups was investigated using comparative model systems of alpha-sexithiophene (6T) and p-sexiphenyl (6P). The results showed that sodium atoms tend to interact with sulfur atoms and their connected carbon atoms as well as the aromatic carbon atoms of the end groups of 6T molecules, while no chemical interaction between Na and 6P molecules was observed. These findings shed light on the rational design of sulfur-containing protective materials and relevant interface engineering to stabilize SMAs.

Yishui Ding, Xiangyu Hou, Tengyu Jin, Yanan Wang, Xu Lian, Yuan Liu, Yihe Wang, Sisheng Duan, Xiangrui Geng, Meng Wang, Jingyu Mao, Yuanyuan Zhang, Peirong Tang, Minghua Li, Huamao Lin, Yao Zhu, Siewlang Teo, Qiang Zhu, Ming Lin, Wei Chen

Summary: In this study, the growth mechanism and interfacial chemistry of ultrathin platinum and molybdenum films on high-crystalline Al1-xScxN surface were investigated. The chemical and electronic structure evolution of the interface during the deposition process were examined using in-situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy. The structural properties of the interface were characterized by cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction spectroscopy, and atomic force microscopy. The study reveals the formation of ionic Pt2+-N bonds at the Pt/Al1-xScxN interface, while molybdenum does not bond with the substrate. Furthermore, electron transfer induces upward band-bending effects on the Al1-xScxN surface upon both platinum and molybdenum interactions. The research on the chemical and structural properties of ultrathin metal electrodes and Al1-xScxN interfaces provides guidance for designing high-performance micro-electromechanical devices.

Insights into the multi-functional lithium difluoro(oxalate)borate additive in boosting the Li-ion reaction kinetics for Li3VO4 anodes

Miaomiao Zhang, Cunyuan Pei, Qiqi Xiang, Lintao Liu, Zhongxu Dai, Huijuan Ma, Shibing Ni

Summary: The design of a solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) plays a crucial role in improving the electrochemical performance of anode materials. In this study, lithium difluoro(oxalate)borate (LiDFOB) is used as an electrolyte additive to form a protective SEI film on Li3VO4 (LVO) anodes. The addition of LiDFOB results in a dense, uniform, stable, and LiF-richer SEI, which enhances the Li-ion storage kinetics. The generated SEI also prevents further decomposition of the electrolyte and maintains the morphology of LVO anodes during charge/discharge processes. This work demonstrates the effectiveness of LiDFOB as a multi-functional additive for LiPF6 electrolytes and provides insights into SEI construction for high-performance LVO anodes.

ClO-driven degradation of graphene oxide: new insights from DFT calculations

S. L. Romo-Avila, D. Marquez-Ruiz, R. A. Guirado-Lopez

Summary: In this study, we used density functional theory (DFT) calculations to investigate the interaction between model graphene oxide (GO) nanostructures and chlorine monoxide ClO. We aimed to understand the role of this highly oxidizing species in breaking C-C bonds and forming significant holes on GO sheets. Our results showed that C-C bonds in a single graphene oxide sheet can be broken through a simple mechanism involving the dissociation of two chemically attached ClO molecules. The formation of carbonyl groups and holes on the GO surface was also observed. This study provides important insights into the degradation of carbon nanotubes and the stability of GO during the myeloperoxidase (MPO) catalytic cycle.

Composition dependence of X-ray stability and degradation mechanisms at lead halide perovskite single crystal surfaces

Alberto Garcia-Fernandez, Birgit Kammlander, Stefania Riva, Hakan Rensmo, Ute B. Cappel

Summary: In this study, the X-ray stability of five different lead halide perovskite compositions (MAPbI3, MAPbCl3, MAPbBr3, FAPbBr3, CsPbBr3) was investigated using photoelectron spectroscopy. Different degradation mechanisms and resistance to X-ray were observed depending on the crystal composition. Overall, perovskite compositions based on the MA+ cation were found to be less stable than those based on FA+ or Cs+. Metallic lead formation was most easily observed in the chloride perovskite, followed by bromide, and very little in MAPbI3. Multiple degradation processes were identified for the bromide compositions, including ion migration, formation of volatile and solid products, as well as metallic lead. CsBr was formed as a solid degradation product on the surface of CsPbBr3.
