Summary: The catalytic properties of CeO2 catalyst for propane dehydrogenation were studied using density functional theory calculations, revealing a considerable Lewis acid-base interaction on the defective surfaces that enhances bond formation between adsorbates and the catalyst surface, resulting in increased surface reactivity.

Summary: A new class of beryllium-boron clusters called beryllo-borospherenes are theoretically described in this paper. The addition of beryllium to the B-12 motif leads to significant structural modifications. Beryllium atoms form strong bonds with boron clusters through strong electrostatic and covalent interactions.

Summary: This study focuses on investigating and comparing different polymorphs and doping percentages of HfO2 systems. Density functional theory methods are used to optimize the geometry and study the optical properties of the systems. The effects of doping Y elements are analyzed and compared with experimental data. The results show that Y doping affects the formation energy and optical properties of HfO2 polymorphs. With a doping percentage not exceeding 12%, a stabilization of the cubic phase fraction and an increase of the dielectric constant are observed.

Summary: This study addresses the long-standing issues of junction stability and donor deactivation in highly doped silicon, using heavily doped Si:P layers for nanowire FET devices. By utilizing microwave annealing, a specific distribution of thermally stable dopant defects dominated by P4V clusters is achieved, leading to the stable junction in the semiconductor device.

Summary: To date, vibrational simulation results have been mainly used as experimental support rather than predictive tools due to the discreteness of the simulated vibrational modes caused by quantization. In this study, we propose a method to combine outputs from ab initio simulations, such as the phonon density of states surrogate and peak intensities, to enable comparison with experimental data using machine learning. This work opens up possibilities for using simulated vibrational spectra to identify materials with defined stoichiometry, allowing for the separation of genuine vibrational features from morphological and defect-induced signals.

Summary: This study found that alkaline metal intercalation is an effective method for inducing structural phase transitions in layered MoS2. The researchers systematically investigated the impact of interlayer rotation angle and grain boundary on lithium intercalation concentration in bilayer MoS2. The results showed that interlayer rotation slightly increased lithium binding energy and diffusion energy barriers, while grain boundary significantly hindered lithium diffusion, resulting in low intercalation concentrations. These findings provide a fundamental understanding of the role of interlayer rotation and grain boundary in tuning alkaline metal intercalation concentrations in layered transition metal chalcogenides.

Summary: In this study, hole states at the aqueous interface of Zn-doped hematite (0001) were characterized using density functional theory. A hole state within the band gap of hematite, localized on a Fe-O moiety, was observed. The interfacial hydration structure and hydrogen bonding dynamics were minimally affected by Zn doping.

Summary: This study demonstrates the orbital-selectivity of Fe doping in epitaxial MoS2 using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) and further validates it through other experiments and calculations. The results show that dopants with complex d-orbital structure interact with MoS2 bands in an orbital-sensitive manner.

Summary: Ag,N co-doping carbon quantum dots (Ag,N-CQDs) show effective antimicrobial performance against both E. coli and S. aureus. The enhanced antibacterial activity of Ag,N-CQDs can be attributed to their good crystallization structure and strong adsorption and perforation effect on bacterial membranes.

Summary: The study investigated hydrogen abstraction and addition reactions on polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon monomers and quasi-surface models using the quasi-classical trajectory method. Results showed that the PAH size has a minor impact on hydrogen abstraction rates, but a clear size dependence on hydrogen addition rates. The preferred reaction pathway shifts from hydrogen abstraction to hydrogen addition reactions with increasing temperature.

Summary: In this study, the effect of impurity metal doping on the initial stage of calcite growth was investigated using first-principles methods. The adsorption of the CaCO3 molecule on anhydrous and hydrated calcite surfaces doped with Mg, Cu, Zn, Sr, and Ba was analyzed, as well as the interactions between water molecules and the different dopants. The results suggest that the adsorption ability of anhydrous calcite surfaces towards the CaCO3 molecule is determined by the size of the dopant, while the adsorption behavior for water molecules is dominated by chemical bonding. The study provides new insights into the inhibiting mechanism of Mg, Cu, and Zn impurities on calcite growth and highlights the feasibility of using Sr and Ba dopants to facilitate calcite growth and mineralize toxic Sr and Ba from contaminated environments.

Summary: In this paper, a new method for calculating anharmonic contributions to free energy barriers, called constrained thermodynamic lambda-path integration (lambda-TI), is introduced as an alternative to the established Blue Moon ensemble method (xi-TI). The lambda-TI method is benchmarked against the xi-TI method for several reactions and shows good agreement in all cases. An advantage of lambda-TI is its ability to use any reference state to compute anharmonic contributions, which is particularly useful for catalysis. Additionally, the combination of the Bennett acceptance ratio method with lambda-TI is demonstrated to improve computational efficiency.
