Transition-metal complexes are attractive targets for the design of catalysts and functional
materials. The behavior of the metal–organic bond, while very tunable for achieving target …

In recent years, the emergence of novel 2D monoelemental materials (Xenes), eg,
graphdiyne, borophene, phosphorene, antimonene, bismuthene, and stanene, has …

Quasi-solid-state Zn-air batteries are usually limited to relatively low-rate ability (< 10 mA
cm− 2), which is caused in part by sluggish oxygen electrocatalysis and unstable …

Motivated by the recently discovered high-T c superconductor La3Ni2O7, we
comprehensively study this system using density functional theory and random phase …

Although Mn2+ additives alleviate the dissolution issue of Mn-based cathodes in aqueous
zinc–ion batteries (ZIBs), problems including complex side reactions and abnormal capacity …

Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries with high energy density that can be safely charged and
discharged at high rates are desirable for electrified transportation and other applications …

Multiferroic materials have attracted wide interest because of their exceptional static,–and
dynamical,–magnetoelectric properties. In particular, type-II multiferroics exhibit an inversion …

Climate change has prompted scientists to search for possible ways of reducing CO2
emissions or even capturing it from the atmosphere. Catalytic reduction of CO2 into value …

We report the observation of a peculiar polarization behavior of BaFe12O19 in electric field
where the linear polarization is detected at temperatures below 150 K whereas at higher …

Designing materials with advanced functionalities is the main focus of contemporary solid-
state physics and chemistry. Research efforts worldwide are funneled into a few high-end …
