Article Abstract

Transition metal nitride (TMNs) electrocatalysts have attracted tremendous attentions for their unique electron structure, high activity, and excellent stability. Herein, a two-dimensional (2D) graphene-like structured nickel-molybdenum nitride (Ni-MoN) on nickel foam (NF), is prepared via facile hydrothermal and following nitridation process. The as-prepared Ni-MoN-450 (pyrolysis at 450 °C) displays good hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) performances in alkaline media. Only 22 mV and 117 mV are needed to achieve current densities of 10 mA cm and 500 mA cm in 1.0 M KOH, respectively, toward HER. The assembled two-electrode system, with the synthesized Ni-MoN-450 as the anode and cathode, exhibits good performance to achieve 1000 mA cm in 1.0 M KOH + 25 °C and 6.0 M KOH + 80 °C. Moreover, it also presents long-term stability under large-current density, which verified its robust property.

Exploring graphene-like two-dimensional materials with exceptional electro-optical properties is highly appealing for optoelectronic devices. Utilizing the PBE + + BSE method, the stability and electro-optical properties of a new h-BCN monolayer were investigated systematically, as well as the effects of strain. The h-BCN monolayer was dynamically stable in a broad range of strain and possessed a moderate indirect bandgap.

Transition metal monoxides (MOs) have long been recognized for their versatile electronic and catalytic properties, yet their two-dimensional (2D) forms remain largely unexplored. In this study, we theoretically design a bilayer MO sheet featuring a graphene-like hexagonal lattice. Through systematic screening of various transition metals, we identify nine stable MO bilayers.

Two-dimensional (2D) transition metal carbides (a MXene material) have garnered significant attention owing to their exceptional catalytic performance in magnesium-based hydrogen storage systems. However, existing studies on metal-based MXene catalysts have predominantly focused on elucidating how multivalent metal species facilitate hydrogen transport pathways, while largely neglecting the structural configuration, spatial distribution, and mechanistic roles of carbon components within these materials. Herein, we first study the intrinsic mechanism of in situ hydrogenolysis-engineering of representative Ti-based MXene (TiC) systems based on density functional theory (DFT) calculations.

In this study, we theoretically investigate the magnetoelectric and magnetoelastic properties of the novel two-dimensional magnetic material CrP with two different structures, among which the graphene-like CrP structure exhibits ferromagnetism. Interestingly, its perpendicular magnetic anisotropy and magnetic ground state are sensitive to external pressure, exhibiting magnetic switching behavior. The system exhibits half-metallic properties, but the magnetic changes induced by external mechanical strain and electronic properties show multifaceted coupling phenomena.
