As elemental main group materials (ie, silicon and germanium) have dominated the field of
modern electronics, their monolayer 2D analogues have shown great promise for next …

The most direct and efficient strategy in designing and synthesizing new materials is to
change the structural building units, which could lead to a new paradigm shift. Penta …

We present results of density functional theory calculations on the lithium (Li) ion storage
capacity of biphenylene (BP) membrane and phagraphene (PhG) which are two …

Stimulated by the success of graphene and diamond, a variety of carbon allotropes have
been discovered in recent years in either two-dimensional or three-dimensional …

Using first-principles calculations, we designed a new two-dimensional sp 2− sp 3
hybridized allotrope of carbon. This allotrope is made up of 5-6-8 carbon rings thus, known …

The inherent qualities of carbon nanosheets that come from their underlying molecular
structure have drawn an enormous amount of interest from researchers. Molecular …

This book provides a detailed description of metal-complex functionalized carbon allotrope
forms, including classic (such as graphite), rare (such as M-or T-carbon), and nanoforms …

The experimentally verified negative Poisson's ratio of black phosphorus allows the
extension of the medical and defense applications to the nanoscale regime without any …

Auxetic materials possess special applications due to their unique negative Poisson's ratios
(NPRs). As a classic 2D carbon material, the NPR of graphene is still deliberated …

Anode materials that exhibit high energy density, high power density, long life cycle, and
better safety profile for lithium‐ion batteries are necessary for the development of electric …
