Thermoelectric materials offer an alternative opportunity to tackle the energy crisis and
environmental problems by enabling the direct solid-state energy conversion. As a …

The family of 2D and layered materials has been expanding rapidly for more than a decade.
Within this large family of hundreds of materials, black phosphorus and its isoelectronic …

Piezoelectric nanomaterials open new avenues in driving green catalysis processes (eg, H2
evolution from water) through harvesting mechanical energy, but their catalytic efficiency is …

We explore the thermoelectric and phonon transport properties of two-dimensional
monochalcogenides (SnSe, SnS, GeSe, and GeS) using density functional theory combined …

Two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors (SCs) integrated with two or more functions are the
cornerstone for constructing multifunctional nanodevices but remain largely limited. Here, by …

Two-dimensional auxetic materials have attracted considerable attention due to their
potential applications in medicine, tougher composites, defense, and so on. However, they …

Layered SnSe is an emerging class of black phosphorus, which is non‐toxic, eco‐friendly,
and chemically stable. Recently, SnSe nanostructures have triggered more research interest …

New classes of two-dimensional (2D) materials beyond graphene, including layered and
non-layered, and their heterostructures, are currently attracting increasing interest due to …

Neuromorphic computing can process large amounts of information in parallel and provides
a powerful tool to solve the von Neumann bottleneck. Constructing an artificial neural …

Using density functional theory, we systematically investigate the lattice thermal conductivity
and carrier mobility of monolayer SnX2 (X= S, Se). The room-temperature ultra low lattice …
