Graphyne-based membrane as a promising candidate for Li-Battery electrodes protection: Insight from atomistic simulations

Promoting CO2 electroreduction to CO by a graphdiyne-stabilized Au nanoparticle catalyst

“…10 Each acetylene unit in GDY is connected to the benzene ring, forming a planar porous structure that facilitates electrolyte diffusion, mass transfer and gas release. 11–13 In addition, due to its highly π-conjugated structure, large surface area, evenly distributed pores, good chemical stability, and excellent electron conductivity, GDY has shown great prospects in the fields of batteries, 14–18 optoelectronic devices 19–23 and electrocatalysis. 24–31 More importantly, due to its unique physical and chemical properties, there is a strong d–π electron interaction between the GDY substrate and metal catalysts.…”

Theoretical investigation of Janus Ti2BST (T = O, Se) monolayers as anode materials for Na/K-ion batteries

“…Two-dimensional (2D) materials used as anodes for NIBs and KIBs have received widespread interest owing to their high special surface area, plentiful active sites, and superior mechanical properties. Many 2D materials have been explored as anodes, and they offer outstanding electrochemical properties for NIBs and KIBs, such as carbon allotropes, 5–7 boron nitride allotropes, 8,9 phosphorene, 10–12 transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), 13,14 MXenes, 15,16 etc. Recently, a new family of 2D transition metal boride monolayers (MBenes) has been successfully synthesized by topochemical deintercalation of the A layer from the MAB phases (where M refers to a transition metal, A stands for group IIIA or IVA element, and B is boron) in NaOH or HCl solution.…”
