The Dirac bands and flat bands are difficult to coexist because they represent two extreme ends of electronic properties. However, in this paper, we propose a carbon-Kagome-lattice (CKL) family based on first-principles calculations, and the coexistence of Dirac and flat bands are observed in this series of three-dimensional carbon structures. The flat bands are originated from the orbital interactions of the Kagome lattices, while the Dirac bands are related to the carbon zigzag chains. A tight-binding model is used to explain the various band structures in different CKLs. The coexistence of flat and Dirac bands around the Fermi level implies that CKL structures maybe can serve as superconductors. In addition, electronic properties of the thinnest CKL slabs, only consisting of benzene rings, are studied. Flat bands are found in the band spectra of the two-dimensional structures, and split into spin-up and spin-down bands because of strong correlated effect in the case of hole doping.

A two-dimensional borophene monolayer with ideal Dirac nodal-line fermions

Chengyong Zhong, Xuelian Li, Chunbao Feng, Peng Yu

Summary: Based on first-principles calculations, a completely flat borophene monolayer known as chi(2/9) with ideal Dirac nodal line states around the Fermi level has been discovered for the first time. A tight-binding model utilizing the Slater-Koster approach demonstrates that the unique electronic feature of chi(2/9) primarily originates from the interactions of the first-nearest neighbors' p(z) orbitals of boron. Symmetry analysis reveals that the Dirac nodal line in chi(2/9) is guaranteed by the out-of-plane mirror or C-2 rotational symmetry and negligible p(z) orbital coupling. Chemical bonding analysis uncovers the rare electronic properties of this material, which can be attributed to the multicentered pi bonds.

Dendritic growth lowers carbon electrode work function for efficient perovskite solar cells

Jie Sheng, Jingshan He, Dun Ma, Yuanbo Wang, Wu Shao, Tian Ding, Ronghao Cen, Jingwen He, Zhihao Deng, Wenjun Wu

Summary: This study presents an innovative approach to improve the photovoltaic conversion characteristics and stability of perovskite solar cells through carbon electrode interface modification. By in-situ polymerization and carbonization on the surface of nano-graphite, a dendritic structure carbon electrode is formed, reducing the work function and aligning the energy levels with perovskite. This leads to improved charge and hole collection efficiency, resulting in increased photovoltaic conversion efficiency. Furthermore, the modified carbon electrode-based perovskite solar cells exhibit exceptional stability, maintaining high efficiency even without encapsulation.

High-performance epoxy nanocomposites via constructing a rigid-flexible interface with graphene oxide functionalized by polyetheramine and f-SiO2

Guodong Shi, Jian Song, Xiaoxiao Tian, Tongtong Liu, Zhanjun Wu

Summary: This study demonstrates the improvement of mechanical properties and reduction of coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) in graphene oxide (GO)/epoxy (EP) nanocomposites by enhancing the interface between GO and EP through functionalization and incorporating rigid-flexible interphases. The results reveal that the SiO2-PEA-GO hybrid exhibits better strengthening and toughening effects, as well as lower CTE, compared to the PEA-GO hybrid due to the presence of rigid-flexible interfaces with higher bonding strength and better energy dissipation mechanisms. Additionally, the nanocomposites with longer polyetheramine (PEA) molecules in the rigid-flexible interphases demonstrate higher strength and toughness, while maintaining a lower CTE. This work provides a promising strategy for constructing adjustable flexible-rigid interfacial structures and offers potential in developing GO/EP nanocomposites with high mechanical properties and low CTE.

Ambipolar charge transfer of larger fullerenes enabled by the modulated surface potential of h-BN/Rh(111)

Max Bommert, Bruno Schuler, Carlo A. Pignedoli, Roland Widmer, Oliver Groning

Summary: A detailed understanding of the interaction between molecules and two-dimensional materials is crucial for incorporating functional molecular films into next-generation 2D material-organic hybrid devices. This study compares the energy level alignment of different-sized fullerenes on a Moire superstructure and finds that C-84 fullerenes can be either neutral or negatively charged depending on slight variations of the electrostatic potential. This discovery suggests a new path to achieve ambipolar charge transfer without overcoming the electronic gap of fullerenes.
