Density functional theory calculations were performed on four platinum-iridium clusters, Pt3-xIrx (x = 03) to examine ammonia oxidation in alkaline media. The adsorption of NH3-x (x = 0-3) on these clusters and the effect of cluster composition on the adsorption were investigated. The hybrid B3LYP level of theory was used in Gaussian 09 along with the LANL2DZ and 6-311++g basis sets. The HOMO-LUMO energy gap on bare metal clusters showed that increasing the iridium concentration decreased the energy gap, a sign of a more reactive catalyst. The relative adsorption energy showed more stability of NH3-x on the Ir-3 cluster and less stability as the number of platinum atoms increased in the cluster. These results combined with activation and dissociation energy calculations of sequential dehydrogenation reactions showed that Ir-3 is more active than Pt-3 for ammonia oxidation, and the addition of iridium to platinum makes a more favorable pathway for the ammonia oxidation reaction. The computational calculations suggest the possibility of two different mechanisms of ammonia oxidation on platinum and iridium electrocatalysts. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Effect of number of donor-acceptor repeat units and macrocyclic configuration on excited state properties in TADF emitters: A multiscale theoretical study
Meiqi Liu, Baoming Hou, Yuheng Li, Yuyu Pan, Bing Yang
Summary: This paper investigates the application potential of thermally activated delayed fluorescent (TADF) molecules with donor-acceptor-donor-acceptor pi-conjugated macrocycle structures in organic light-emitting diodes. The study finds that the macrocyclic structure has a smaller energy gap between the first singlet excited state and the first triplet excited state compared to the linear structure. The TADF efficiency is also analyzed and explained based on spin-orbit coupling and intersystem crossing rates.

Remodeling and adsorption behavior of Co2+-doped SnO2 (221) crystal plane by H2O molecules
Run Liu, Jiahui Liu, Jiarui Fang, Xiruo Bai, Dan Wang, Yixuan Qie, Shuqi Zu, Guancheng Wang, Xinyi Sui, Runyao Chang, Yizhu Wang, Ziheng Li
Summary: This paper investigates the remodeling effect of H2O molecules and their adsorption behavior on Co2+-doped SnO2 (221) crystal plane materials. The results show that H2O molecules remodel the crystal plane by creating oxygen defects, leading to hydroxylation. The hydroxylated crystal surface adsorbs O2 and then H2O molecules, affecting the electrical conductivity of the crystal plane.

Metal-adorned borophene for efficient glucose adsorption
Marisol Ibarra-Rodriguez, Paul Horley, Mario Sanchez
Summary: In this study, the functionalized borophene was investigated as a potential sensor or transporter of glucose for biomedical applications. The adsorption of glucose molecules on different boron-based complexes was studied, and the results showed that these complexes have high binding energies and can efficiently adsorb glucose molecules. The findings suggest that borophene-based systems with different oxidation states hold promise for intelligent drug delivery and biosensor design.

Computational study on Thermal and morphological characteristics of Carbazochrome encapsulation capacity in Carbon nanotube
Syed Hassan Sarwar, Saad Jawaid Khan, Syed Faraz Jawed
Summary: The medical community is currently focusing on targeted and controlled drug delivery, and many researchers are utilizing computational resources to understand drugnanocarrier combinations and develop targeted drug delivery systems. This study used molecular dynamics to investigate the encapsulation capacity of Carbazochrome, a hemostatic drug, in Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes of different morphological variations. The results showed that the nanotube radius and length had the most significant impact on the encapsulation capacity, followed by nanotube chirality. Temperature also affected the drug encapsulation when the nanotube radius was not very large and the chiral angle was near 30 degrees.

DFT study of B substitution on the hydrogen storage properties of pt-modified conical cup-stacked carbon nanotube
Yinquan Sui, Mengying Sun, Yongxin Wang, Zhitong Xu, Jinglu Yan, Huanpeng Liu
Summary: In this study, the structural and hydrogen storage properties of loaded Pt atoms were investigated using density functional theory (DFT) with and without substitution of B atoms on the edges of conical graphene layers (CGL). It was found that the position of the substituted B atom at the edge of the CGL has an important effect on the position of the loaded Pt atom and its hydrogen adsorption and storage properties.
