Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have attracted much interest due to their utility as functional materials. Unfortunately, experimental synthesis struggles with low single crystallinity of COFs. We have theoretically investigated isomer structures of a representative two-dimensional COF for both monolayer and three-dimensional stacking orders. We show that rotations of p-phenylene rings are common in monolayers, however, affect the global stacking order substantially. We also discuss the discrepancy between powder X-ray diffraction patterns corresponding to the structures predicted by our calculations and those experimentally observed. The discrepancy demonstrates the importance of dynamics in the self-assembly process of COF organic components. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Graph neural networks predict energetic and mechanical properties for models of solid solution metal alloy phases

Massimiliano Lupo Pasini, Gang Seob Jung, Stephan Irle

Summary: We developed HydraGNN, a PyTorch-based architecture, which utilizes graph convolutional neural networks (GCNNs) to predict the formation energy and bulk modulus of solid solution alloy models with different atomic crystal structures and relaxed volumes. The GCNN surrogate model was trained using a dataset for nickel-niobium (NiNb) generated by the embedded atom model (EAM) empirical interatomic potential for demonstration purposes. The dataset was generated by calculating the formation energy and bulk modulus for optimized geometries starting from initial body-centered cubic (BCC), face-centered cubic (FCC), and hexagonal compact packed (HCP) crystal structures, covering the possible compositional range for each structure type. Numerical results demonstrate that the GCNN model effectively predicts the formation energy and bulk modulus based on the optimized crystal structure, relaxed volume, and configurational entropy of the solid solution alloy models.

Accelerating the density-functional tight-binding method using graphical processing units

Van-Quan Vuong, Caterina Cevallos, Ben Hourahine, Balint Aradi, Jacek Jakowski, Stephan Irle, Cristopher Camacho

Summary: We accelerated the density-functional tight-binding (DFTB) method on single and multiple graphical processing units (GPUs) using the MAGMA linear algebra library. Our implementation addressed two major computational bottlenecks of DFTB ground-state calculations: the Hamiltonian matrix diagonalization and the density matrix construction. The code was tested on the SUMMIT IBM Power9 supercomputer and an in-house Intel Xeon computer, showing good performance and parallel scalability for carbon nanotubes, covalent organic frameworks, and water clusters.

Effect of surface functional groups on MXene conductivity

Rabi Khanal, Stephan Irle

Summary: We studied the electron transport within the MXene layers as a function of composition and found a linear relationship between current and voltage at lower potentials in all MXene compositions, indicating their metallic character. However, the conductivity varies among different compositions, with MXenes without surface terminations exhibiting higher conductivity compared to MXenes with surface functionalization. The conductivity also changes with the ratio of -O and -OH on the MXene surface. The surface composition-dependent conductivity of MXenes provides a way to enhance the pseudocapacitive performance.

Krishna K. Ghose, Joshua J. Brown, Terry J. Frankcombe, Alister Page, Alicia Bayon

Summary: Water splitting driven by solar energy is a promising strategy for producing renewable hydrogen with minimal environmental impact. Perovskite oxides have unique structural features that make them suitable for water splitting applications. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations are used to accurately predict the critical properties of perovskite oxides relevant to water splitting processes. The challenges associated with the choice of exchange-correlation functional in DFT methods are discussed in this review.

Decomposing Hofmeister effects on amino acid residues with symmetry adapted perturbation theory

Kasimir P. Gregory, Grant B. Webber, Erica J. Wanless, Alister J. Page

Summary: Hofmeister effects and specific ion effects are common in biological systems, but they may not always follow the Hofmeister series in complex biological systems like ion channels. Studying the interaction energies between anions and amino acids can help explain why certain binding interactions are favored. The strength of interactions follows the Hofmeister series and increases with the polarity of amino acids, except for negatively charged amino acid side chains. Interactions involving both the side chain and protic moieties of the backbone are generally most favorable, and the total interaction energy is primarily determined by the electrostatic component and the thorn ('sho') value of the anion.

Unusual Selective Monitoring of N,N-Dimethylformamide in a Two-Dimensional Material Field-Effect Transistor

Akito Fukui, Keigo Matsuyama, Hiroaki Onoe, Shun Itai, Hidekazu Ikeno, Shunsuke Hiraoka, Kousei Hiura, Yuh Hijikata, Jenny Pirillo, Takahiro Nagata, Kuniharu Takei, Takeshi Yoshimura, Norifumi Fujimura, Daisuke Kiriya

Summary: In this paper, a selective DMF sensor using a molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) field-effect transistor (FET) is proposed. The sensor responds to DMF molecules but not to similar molecules of formamide, N,N-diethylformamide, and N,N-dimethylacetamide. The thin structure of MoS2-FET can be incorporated into a microfluidic chamber, which allows for real-time DMF monitoring by exchanging solutions subsequently. The designed device shows DMF monitoring in NaCl ionic solutions from 1 to 200 μL/mL. This work proposes the concept of selectively monitoring redox-inactive molecules based on the nonideal atomic affinity site on the surface of two-dimensional semiconductors.

Stefano Borocci, Armando Camerlingo, Felice Grandinetti, Maria Rutigliano, Nico Sanna

Summary: The complexes of He, Ne, Ar, Kr, and Xe with B3N3H6 were investigated using MP2, CCSD(T), and SAPT ab initio methods. The complexes can be described as mono-, di-, and tri-coordinated to the N atoms, with stability following the order N-mono < N-di < N-tri. The interactions are dominated by dispersion and the binding energies are within the range of 1 or 2 kcal mol(-1). The results were compared with a recent DFT study on larger BN sheets complexes [Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys. 24 (2022) 2554-2566.].

Investigation of Ce-based buffer layers on electrochemical performance of YSZ-based symmetric solid oxide fuel cells

Chanchan Wang, Quan Yang, Yanzhi Ding, Xiaoyong Lu, Dong Tian

Summary: It has been found that the introduction of buffer layers improves the electrical performance of solid oxide fuel cells (SSOFCs). In this study, varying ratios of Gd-doped CeO2 were used as buffer layers in YSZ-based SSOFCs. The results demonstrate that the performance of SSOFCs is enhanced when a buffer layer is added, with the highest performance achieved using Ce0.8Gd0.2O2-delta (GDC20) as the buffer layer. This suggests that the use of GDC series buffer layers is an attractive strategy to optimize performance loss due to electrolyte-electrode interactions.
