Cathodic corrosion is an electrochemical phenomenon that etches metals at moderately negative potentials. Although cathodic corrosion probably occurs by forming a metal-containing anion, such intermediate species have not yet been observed. Here, aiming to resolve this long-standing debate, our work provides such evidence through X-ray absorption spectroscopy.

In this first-principles study, we simulate the adsorption of SOF and SOF molecules on the pristine, Cu- and Rh-doped PdSe monolayer, in order to explore their potentials as novel gas sensors for status evaluation of the SF-insulation devices. Single Cu or Rh atom is doped by the replacement of a Se atom within the PdSe surface, with the formation energy of 0.40 and -0.

In this work, we use a well-defined water-soluble macrocyclic molecule cucurbit[5]uril (CB5) to modify 2D TiCT MXene and assemble a novel high-performance adsorbent CB5-TiCT for Sr ion by density functional theory and experimental methods. The structural stabilities of two distinct types of CB5-TiCT (T = F, O and OH) complexes, i.e.

First-principles calculations, particularly density functional theory (DFT) combined with D3 dispersion correction (DFT+D3), have proven to be valuable tools in simulating the adsorption of lead ions on TiCO surfaces. However, conventional theoretical models assume electrically neutral systems under vacuum conditions, neglecting the solvent environment and electrode potential's crucial effects. This study employed an implicit solvent model, treating the solvent as a continuous and homogeneous medium to capture the influence of different solvents by varying their dielectric constants.

Zintl compounds have garnered research interest due to their diverse technological applications. Utilizing first-principles calculations, we performed a systematic study of ABX (A = Li, Na, K, Rb, or Cs; B = Si, Ge, Sn, or Pb; and X = P, As, Sb, or Bi) Zintl materials with the 6 KSnSb-type structure. Notably, six ABX Zintl compounds (RbSiBi, CsSiBi, LiGeBi, KGeBi, RbGeBi, and CsGeBi) were found to have topologically nontrivial phases, as demonstrated by the invariant computed using the hybrid functional HSE06.
