First-principles computations were carried out to predict the stability and magnetic and
electronic properties of MoS 2 nanoribbons with either zigzag- or armchair-terminated edges. …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs (typically consisting of 18–25 nucleotides)
that negatively control expression of target genes at the post-transcriptional level. Owing to …

Owing to the exceptional properties of graphene, intensive studies have been carried out on
novel two-dimensional (2D) materials. In the past several years, an elegant exfoliation …

Lithium-ion batteries have had a tremendous impact on several sectors of our society;
however, the intrinsic limitations of Li-ion chemistry limits their ability to meet the increasing …

Density functional theory (DFT) computations were performed to investigate the electronic
properties and Li storage capability of Ti 3 C 2 , one representative MXene (M represents …

The energy density of Li ion batteries (LIBs) needs to be improved for the requirement of
electric vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles and smart grids. Developing high-voltage LIBs is an …

Noble‐metal‐free, durable, and high‐efficiency electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction and
evolution reaction (ORR/OER) are vital for rechargeable Zn–air batteries (ZABs). Herein, a …

Graphene, an atomic monolayer of carbon atoms in a honeycomb lattice realized in 2004,
has rapidly risen as the hottest star in materials science due to its exceptional properties. The …

Dehalogenation polycondensation of 2, 5-dihalothiophene, 2, 5-dihalo-3-alkylthiophene,
and 1, 4-dihalobenzene with zerovalent nickel complexes, typically a mixture of bis (l, 5-…

The CdTe nanoparticles were prepared in aqueous solution using different mercaptocarboxylic
acids such as 3-mercaptopropionic acid (MPA) and thioglycolic acid (TGA) as stabilizing …
