Structural stability and Raman scatterin g of CoPt and NiPt hollow nanospheres under high pressure

This paper reports that the high pressure in situ angle dispersive x-ray diffraction and Raman scattering studies on CoPt and NiPt hollow nanospheres are performed by means of a diamond anvil cell for generating external pressure at room temperature.The crystal structures of both the CoPt and NiP hollow nanospheres keep stable up to about 41 GPa.Moreover,it shows that the hollow nanospheres possess higher bulk moduli than their bulk counterparts by using the frst-principles density functional theory.

Density functional theory calculations:A powerful tool to simulate and design high-performance energy storage and conversion materials

Searching for high-performance energy storage and conversion materials is currently regarded as an important approach to solve the energy crisis. As a powerful tool to simulate and design materials, the density functional theory (DFT) method has made great achievements in the field of energy storage and conversion. This review highlights the ways in which DFT calculations can be used to simulate and design high-performance materials for batteries, capacitors, and hydrogen evolution electrocatalysts.     

HfO2和Al2O3混合原子层沉积反应机理的密度泛函理论研究

密度泛函理论研究了用HfCl4和Al(CH3)3作为前体,HfO2和Al2O3在硅表面的原子层沉积的机理,其包括2个沉积半反应:(1)HfCl4和Al—OH*的表面反应;(2)Al(CH3)3和Hf—OH*的表面反应。计算结果表明,2个半反应过程机理相似,内禀反应坐标研究也表明2个半反应经历了相似的过渡态和副产物的消除路径。另外,升高反应温度,反应(1)中间体的解吸附作用增强,而活化能降低,反应(2)活化能基本不变。
