The overall performance and the effects of different energetic substituent groups and energetic bridge groups on the performance were investigated by density functional theory and electrostatic potential methods. The results showed that most of designed compounds have oxygen balance around zero, high heats of formation, high density, high energy, and acceptable sensitivity, indicating that tetrazole N-oxide is a useful parent energetic compound employed for obtaining high energy compounds, even only combined with some very common energetic substituent groups and bridge groups. Comprehensively considering the effects on energy and sensitivity, the -NO2, -NF2, -NH- and-NH-NH- are appropriate substituent groups for combining tetrozale N-oxide to design new energetic compounds, while -NH2, -Na, -CH2-CH2-, and -N=N- are inappropriate.展开更多

The calculated results reveal that due to the hole doping, the Fermi level shifts into valence bands （VBs） for SrTi1-x InxO3 with x = 0.125 and the system exhibits p-type degenerate semiconductor features. It is suggested according to the density of states （DOS） of SrTi0.875In0.125O3 that the band structure of p-type SrTIO3 can be described by a rigid band model. At the same time, the DOS shifts towards high energies and the optical band gap is broadened. The wide band gap, small transition probability and weak absorption due to the low partial density of states （PDOS） of impurity in the Fermi level result in the optical transparency of the film. The optical transmittance of In doped SrTiO3 is higher than 85% in a visible region, and the transmittance improves greatly. And the cut-off wavelength shifts into a blue-light region with the increase of In doping concentration.展开更多

However, development of robust catalyst with controllable selectivity and stability remains a challenge. Herein, we report that Zn-promoted Fe catalyst can boost the stable and selective production of light olefins from CO_(2). Specifically, the Zn-promoted Fe exhibits a highly stable activity and olefin selectivity over 200 h time-on-stream compared to the unpromoted Fe catalyst, primarily owing to the preservation of active χ-Fe_(5)C_(2) phase. Structural characterizations of the spent catalysts suggest that Zn substantially regulates the content of iron carbide on the surface and suppresses the reoxidation of bulk iron carbide during the reaction. DFT calculations confirm that adsorption of surface carbon atoms and graphene-like carbonaceous species are not thermochemically favored on Zn-promoted Fe catalyst. Carbon deposition by CAC coupling reactions of two surface carbon atoms and dehydrogenation of CH intermediate are also inhibited. Furthermore, the effects of Zn on antioxidation of iron carbide were also investigated. Zn favored the hydrogenation of surface adsorbed oxygen atoms to H_(2)O and the desorption of H_(2)O, which reduces the possibility of surface carbide being oxidized by the chemisorbed oxygen.展开更多

Based on density functional theory calculations,the performances of Cu-BTC, a copper-based MOF, and its derivatives Cu TM-BTC via the substitution of transition metal(TM) elements at the Cu site for photocatalytic overall water splitting(POWS) have been studied. POWS of Cu-BTC suffers from the sluggish hydrogen evolution reaction due to the large overpotential of 2.02 V and limited solar utilization due to a wide HOMO-LUMO gap of 4.11 e V. Via TM substitution, the HOMO-LUMO gap narrows but still satisfies the redox potentials when taken 3d-TM of Cr, Fe, Co or Ni, 4d-TM of Rh or Pd, or 5d-TM of Re or Pt into consideration, benefiting for the light absorption. Furthermore, Cr and Re could serve as active sites for hydrogen evolution with remarkably lowered overpotentials of 0.79 V and 0.28 V, respectively;similarly, oxygen evolution activities could be enhanced by Fe, Co and Rh because of their reduced overpotentials which are less than 0.5 V. Therefore,our findings pave guidance for designing Cu-BTC derivatives in overall water splitting.展开更多

文摘This paper investigates the effect of Nb doping on the electronic structure and optical properties of Sr2TiO4 by the first-principles calculation of plane wave ultra-soft pseudo-potential based on density functional theory （DFT）.The calculated results reveal that due to the electron doping,the Fermi level shifts into conduction bands（CBs） for Sr2NbxTi1-xO4 with x=0.125 and the system shows n-type degenerate semiconductor features. Sr2TiO4 exhibits optical anisotropy in its main crystal axes,and the c-axis shows the most suitable crystal growth direction for obtaining a wide transparent region.The optical transmittance is higher than 90% in the visible range for Sr2Nb0.125Ti0.875O4.

文摘In pursuit of low-cost direct formic acid fuel cells,tungsten carbide(WC)supported Pd catalyst is considered as an ideal candidate for efficient decomposition of formic acid due to low Pd utilization and excellent performance.Herein,different adsorption configurations and active sites of the intermediates,involved in the HCOOH decomposition,on WC(0001)-supported Pd monolayer(Pd/WC(0001))surface investigated by using density functional theory.The results reveal that trans-HCOOH,HCOO,cis-COOH,trans-COOH,HCO,CO,H2 O,OH and H exhibit chemisorption on Pd/WC(0001)surface,whereas cis-HCOOH and CO2 exhibit weak interactions with Pd/WC(0001)surface.In addition,the minimum energy pathways of HCOOH decomposition are analyzed to generate CO and CO2 due to the fracture of C–H,H–O and C–O bonds.The adsorbed HCOOH,HCOO,mH COO,cis-COOH and trans-COOH configurations exhibit dissociation rather than desorption.CO formation occurs through the decomposition of cis-COOH,trans-COOH and HCO,whereas the CO2 formation happens due to the decomposition of HCOO.It is found that the most favorable pathway for HCOOH decomposition on Pd/WC(0001)surface is HCOOH→HCOO→CO2,where the formation of CO2 from HCOO dehydrogenation determines the reaction rate.Overall,CO2 is the most dominant product of HCOOH decomposition on Pd/WC(0001)surface.The presence of WC,as monolayer Pd carrier,does not alter the catalytic behavior of Pd and significantly reduces the Pd utilization.

文摘We put forward a first-principles density-functional theory about the impact of pressure on the structural and elastic properties of bulk CaN2,SrN2 and BaN2.The ground state properties of three alkaline earth diazenides were obtained,and these were in good agreement with previous experimental and theoretical data.By using the quasi-harmonic Debye model,the thermodynamic properties including the debye temperature ΘD,thermal expansion coefficient α,and gruneisen parameter y are successfully obtained in the temperature range from 0 to 100 K and pressure range from 0 to 100 GPa,respectively.The optical properties including dielectric function ε（ω）,absorption coefficient α（ω）,reflectivity coefficient R（ω）,and refractive index n（ω） are also calculated and analyzed.
文摘By studying the relationship between physical structure and function in physical chemistry, the author breaks through the limitation of the western narrow social and cultural structure and function theory, and further derives and founds the Confucian cultural structure and function theory, thus creating a new research methodology and broadening the research horizon. Through the research, it is found that the Confucian culture structure consists of the hard structure ＂ritual＂ and the soft structure ＂benevolence＂, and based on this constructs three-outline, five- principal, four-moral, eight- virtul, five cardinal principals and other Confucian culture, so that these have a social management function, resulting in a 2000-year stable Chinese social order, which also provides reference for the social management of Chinese government today.
文摘We have examined the theoretical implications of combining two main and three auxiliary ligands to form several Ir(Ⅲ)complexes featuring a transition metal as their core atom to identify some appropriate organic lightemitting diode(OLED)materials.By utilizing electronic structure,frontier molecular orbitals,minimum single-line absorption,triplet excited states,and emission spectral data derived from the density functional theory,the usefulness of these Ir(Ⅲ)complexes,including(piq)_(2)Ir(acac),(piq)_(2)Ir(tmd),(piq)_(2)Ir(tpip),(fpiq)_(2)Ir(acac),(fpiq)_(2)Ir(tmd),and(fpiq)_(2)Ir(tpip),in OLEDs was examined,where piq=1-phenylisoquinoline,fpiq=1-(4-fluorophenyl)isoquinoline,acac=(3Z)-4-hydroxypent-3-en-2-one,tmd=(4Z)-5-hydroxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylhept-4-en-3-one,and tpip=tetraphenylimido-diphosphonate.These complexes all have low-efficiency roll-off properties,especially(fpiq)_(2)Ir(tpip).Some researchers have successfully synthesized complexes extremely similar to(piq)_(2)Ir(acac)through the Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reaction.

文摘By adopting stochastic density functional theory(SDFT)and mixed stochastic-deterministic density functional theory(MDFT)methods,we perform first-principles calculations to predict the shock Hugoniot curves of boron(pressure P=7.9×10^(3)-1.6×10^(6) GPa and temperature T=25-2800 eV),silicon(P=2.6×10^(3)-7.9×10^(5) GPa and T=21.5-1393 eV),and aluminum(P=5.2×10^(3)-9.0×10^(5) GPa and T=25-1393 eV)over wide ranges of pressure and temperature.In particular,we systematically investigate the impact of different cutoff radii in norm-conserving pseudopotentials on the calculated properties at elevated temperatures,such as pressure,ionization energy,and equation of state.By comparing the SDFT and MDFT results with those of other first-principles methods,such as extended first-principles molecular dynamics and path integral Monte Carlo methods,we find that the SDFT and MDFT methods show satisfactory precision,which advances our understanding of first-principles methods when applied to studies of matter at extremely high pressures and temperatures.

文摘Metal-organic framework(MOF) has been widely applied in photocatalysis, which is significant for addressing energy crises and environmental issues. Based on density functional theory calculations,the performances of Cu-BTC, a copper-based MOF, and its derivatives Cu TM-BTC via the substitution of transition metal(TM) elements at the Cu site for photocatalytic overall water splitting(POWS) have been studied. POWS of Cu-BTC suffers from the sluggish hydrogen evolution reaction due to the large overpotential of 2.02 V and limited solar utilization due to a wide HOMO-LUMO gap of 4.11 e V. Via TM substitution, the HOMO-LUMO gap narrows but still satisfies the redox potentials when taken 3d-TM of Cr, Fe, Co or Ni, 4d-TM of Rh or Pd, or 5d-TM of Re or Pt into consideration, benefiting for the light absorption. Furthermore, Cr and Re could serve as active sites for hydrogen evolution with remarkably lowered overpotentials of 0.79 V and 0.28 V, respectively;similarly, oxygen evolution activities could be enhanced by Fe, Co and Rh because of their reduced overpotentials which are less than 0.5 V. Therefore,our findings pave guidance for designing Cu-BTC derivatives in overall water splitting.

文摘A sparsely introduced basal intrinsic 2-type stacking fault(I_(2)-SF)with a dense segregation of clusters(cluster-arranged layer;CAL)inα-Mg exerts a sufficient strengthening effect with a reduced content of additive elements.Moreover,the dynamic nucleation and growth of CALs during deformation largely improves the creep resistance.This paper analyzes the cosegregation behaviors of yttrium(Y)and zinc(Zn)atoms at an I_(2)-SF in bulk and at basal edge dislocations using density functional theory calculations.We also study the modification of the generalized stacking-fault energy(GSFE)curves associated with the cosegregation.The segregation energies of Y and Zn atoms in the I_(2)-SF are relatively small during the initial segregation of a cluster,but increases stepwise as the cluster grows.After introducing Y and Zn atoms in the I_(2)-SF in an energetically stable order,we obtain an L1_(2)-type cluster resembling that reported in the literature.Small structural changes driven by vacancy diffusion produce an exact L1_(2)-type cluster.Meanwhile,the core of the Shockley partial dislocation generates sufficient segregation energy for cluster nucleation.Migration of the Shockley partial dislocation and expansion of the I_(2)-SF part are observed at a specific cluster size.The migration is triggered by a large modification of the GSFE curve and destabilization of the hexagonal close-packed stacking(hcp)by the segregated atoms.At this point,the cluster has reached sufficient size and continues to follow the growth in the I_(2)-SF part.According to our findings,the CAL at elevated temperature is formed through repeated synchronized behavior of cluster nucleation at the Shockley partial dislocation,dislocation migration triggered by the destabilized hcp stacking,and following of cluster growth in the I_(2)-SF part of the dislocation.

文摘Localized corrosion of 304 stainless steel being the significant parts of Starship rocket seriously threatens the long-term service of such aerospace equipment.Scanning electron microscopy,in situ instruments combining electrochemical workstation and Raman spectroscopy,and Density Dunctional Theory(DFT)calculations were employed.The surface morphologies,alloying elements,molecular fingerprint Raman evidence and theoretical mechanism for the localized corrosion of 304 stainless steel during the electrochemical polarization in the mixture solutions containing 0.5 mol/L H_(2)SO_(4) and 2,2'-bipyridine(bipy)with concentrations of 0.001,0.010,0.100 mol/L were discussed.In comparison,the presence of bipy up to 0.100 mol/L in such mixture solutions displayed the neglectable effect on the Fe(Ⅱ)/Fe(Ⅲ)reaction in the polarization process.Raman vibrational frequency around 1492 cm^(-1)was the evidence of pink color appearance due to the formation of[Fe^(Ⅱ)(bipy)_(3)]^(2+).Raman and DFT indicated the yellow color emergence due to the presence ofμ-O-[Fe^(Ⅲ)(bipy)_(2)(H_(2)O)]_(2)^(4+)due to the oxidation reaction of[Fe^(Ⅱ)(bipy)_(3)]^(2+)with H_(2)O_(2) oxidant,and the dimerization of[Fe^(Ⅲ)(bipy)_(3)]^(3+),Furthermore,a quantitative model between[Fe^(Ⅱ)(bipy)_(3)]^(2+)concentration and Raman intensity at 1492 cm^(-1) has been built up.Two linear functions were revealed when[Fe^(Ⅱ)(bipy)_(3)]^(2+)concentrations were at 0-0.002 mol/L and 0.002-0.004 mol/L and a concentration error of less than 5%was evidenced in comparison with that investigated by the inductively coupled plasma.The proposed passivation mechanism and quantitative concentration model of 304 stainless steel have certain significance for its corrosion protection andcorrosionevaluation.

文摘The Dynamical Density Functional Theory(DDFT)algorithm,derived by associating classical Density Functional Theory(DFT)with the fundamental Smoluchowski dynamical equation,describes the evolution of inhomo-geneous fluid density distributions over time.It plays a significant role in studying the evolution of density distributions over time in inhomogeneous systems.The Sunway Bluelight II supercomputer,as a new generation of China’s developed supercomputer,possesses powerful computational capabilities.Porting and optimizing industrial software on this platform holds significant importance.For the optimization of the DDFT algorithm,based on the Sunway Bluelight II supercomputer and the unique hardware architecture of the SW39000 processor,this work proposes three acceleration strategies to enhance computational efficiency and performance,including direct parallel optimization,local-memory constrained optimization for CPEs,and multi-core groups collaboration and communication optimization.This method combines the characteristics of the program’s algorithm with the unique hardware architecture of the Sunway Bluelight II supercomputer,optimizing the storage and transmission structures to achieve a closer integration of software and hardware.For the first time,this paper presents Sunway-Dynamical Density Functional Theory(SW-DDFT).Experimental results show that SW-DDFT achieves a speedup of 6.67 times within a single-core group compared to the original DDFT implementation,with six core groups(a total of 384 CPEs),the maximum speedup can reach 28.64 times,and parallel efficiency can reach 71%,demonstrating excellent acceleration performance.

文摘Ab initio modeling of dynamic structure factors(DSF)and related density response properties in the warm dense matter(WDM)regime is a challenging computational task.The DSF,convolved with a probing X-ray beam and instrument function,is measured in X-ray Thom-son scattering(XRTS)experiments,which allow the study of electronic structure properties at the microscopic level.Among the various ab initio methods,linear-response time-dependent density-functional theory(LR-TDDFT)is a key framework for simulating the DSF.The standard approach in LR-TDDFT for computing the DSF relies on the orbital representation.A significant drawback of this method is the unfavorable scaling of the number of required empty bands as the wavenumber increases,making LR-TDDFT impractical for modeling XRTS measurements over large energy scales,such as in backward scattering geometry.In this work,we consider and test an alternative approach to LR-TDDFT that employs the Liouville–Lanczos(LL)method for simulating the DSF of WDM.This approach does not require empty states and allows the DSF at large momentum transfer values and over a broad frequency range to be accessed.We compare the results obtained from the LL method with those from the solution of Dyson’s equation using the standard LR-TDDFT within the projector augmented-wave formalism for isochorically heated aluminum and warm dense hydrogen.Additionally,we utilize exact path integral Monte Carlo results for the imaginary-time density-density correlation function(ITCF)of warm dense hydrogen to rigorously benchmark the LL approach.We discuss the application of the LL method for calculating DSFs and ITCFs at different wavenumbers,the effects of pseudopotentials,and the role of Lorentzian smearing.The successful validation of the LL method under WDM conditions makes it a valuable addition to the ab initio simulation landscape,supporting experimental efforts and advancing WDM theory.

文摘This study explores the molecular design of sulfur-containing polymers with high refractive indices(RI)and optimized Abbe numbers for advanced optical applications.The high molar refraction and low dispersion of sulfur make it an ideal component for enhancing the optical properties of polymers.Density functional theory(DFT)calculations were employed to predict the RI and Abbe numbers for a range of sulfurbased polymers.To improve the accuracy of the theoretical predictions,a correction function was developed by comparing the calculated values with experimental data.The key polymer families investigated included sulfur-containing polycarbonates,heterocyclic optical resins,and cycloolefins,all modified to balance RI enhancement with dispersion control.The results demonstrate that increasing the sulfur content and introducing specific heterocycles and bridged rings can effectively increase the RI while maintaining desirable Abbe numbers.Polymers incorporating 1,4-dithiane and sulfur-bridged rings exhibit excellent optical clarity and minimal visible light absorption,making them suitable for lens and coating applications.The study also calculated the UV-visible spectra for the most promising polymers,confirming their high transparency.This work establishes a predictive framework for developing high-performance optical polymers and offers a systematic approach for balancing the refractive index and dispersion,thereby providing valuable insights for the design of next-generation optical materials.
