The major mononuclear aluminum species obtained in the reaction of aluminum atoms with dimethyl sulfide (DMS) and diethyl sulfide (DES), under cryogenic conditions, are the C-S insertion products, CHAlSCH and CHCHAlSCHCH, respectively, showing that aluminum atoms can activate C-S bonds. The magnetic parameters were extracted from the EPR spectrum. Support for the spectral assignment was obtained by repeating the experiments with C-labeled dimethyl sulfide yielding CHAlSCH. DFT calculations using the M06 functional have proven to be effective in predicting the isotropic and anisotropic Al hyperfine interaction values of the aluminum atom C-S insertion products. In addition, the thioalkyl radicals, CHSCH and CHCHSCHCH were formed in the aluminum atom reaction.

Dynamic random access memory (DRAM) has been a cornerstone of modern computing, but it faces challenges as technology scales down, particularly due to the mismatch between reduced storage capacitance and increasing OFF current. The capacitorless 2T0C DRAM architecture is recognized for its potential to offer superior area efficiency and reduced refresh rate requirements by eliminating the traditional capacitor. The exploration of two-dimensional (2D) materials further enhances scaling possibilities, though the absence of dangling bonds complicates the deposition of high-quality dielectrics.

Study on Microscopic Properties of Molten NaF-AlF-CaF/LiF/KF Using First-Principles Molecular Dynamics.

This study employs first-principles molecular dynamics (FPMD) simulations combined with the Voronoi tessellation method to explore the microstructure, transport properties, electronic properties, and Raman spectra of the NaF-AlF-CaF/LiF/KF systems with varying cryolite ratios, additive types, and concentrations. The results indicate that Na, Ca, Li, and K exist in a free state in the molten salts, while Al forms complex ion groups in the form of [AlF] with F, and free F also exists in the molten salts. In the NaF-AlF-CaF system, the average Al-F distance is slightly shorter than that in the other two systems, while the Al-F coordination number is higher in NaF-AlF-LiF.

Spray-Flame Synthesis (SFS) and Characterization of LiAlYTi(PO) [LA(Y)TP] Solid Electrolytes.

Solid-state electrolytes for lithium-ion batteries, which enable a significant increase in storage capacity, are at the forefront of alternative energy storage systems due to their attractive properties such as wide electrochemical stability window, relatively superior contact stability against Li metal, inherently dendrite inhibition, and a wide range of temperature functionality. NASICON-type solid electrolytes are an exciting candidate within ceramic electrolytes due to their high ionic conductivity and low moisture sensitivity, making them a prime candidate for pure oxidic and hybrid ceramic-in-polymer composite electrolytes. Here, we report on producing pure and Y-doped Lithium Aluminum Titanium Phosphate (LATP) nanoparticles by spray-flame synthesis.

Solid electrolytes (SEs) are crucial for advancing next-generation rechargeable battery technologies, but their commercial viability is partially limited by expensive precursors, unscalable synthesis, or low ionic conductivity. Lithium tetrahaloaluminates offer an economical option but exhibit low Li conductivities with high activation energy barriers. This study reports the synthesis of lithium aluminum chalcohalide (LiAlClS) using inexpensive precursors one-step mechanochemical milling.
