The essential properties of monolayer silicene greatly enriched by boron substitutions are thoroughly explored through first-principles calculations. Delicate analyses are conducted on the highly non-uniform Moire superlattices, atom-dominated band structures, charge density distributions and atom- and orbital-decomposed van Hove singularities. The hybridized 2 -3 and [2s, 2 , 2 ]-[3s, 3 , 3 ] bondings, with orthogonal relations, are obtained from the developed theoretical framework. The red-shifted Fermi level and the modified Dirac cones/ bands/ bands are clearly identified under various concentrations and configurations of boron-guest atoms. Our results demonstrate that the charge transfer leads to the non-uniform chemical environment that creates diverse electronic properties.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the properties of a newly discovered two-dimensional material, β-TeO, which has high -type carrier mobility, making it promising for electronics.
- It analyzes intrinsic point defects and element doping, particularly focusing on bismuth (Bi) as a dopant to enhance -type conductivity in β-TeO, demonstrating its potential through computational methods.
- The results indicate that while vacancy defects cannot induce -type conductivity, Bi doping significantly improves carrier mobility and -type conductivity, making Bi an ideal candidate for modifications in 2D β-TeO.

GaO has emerged as a promising material for the wide-bandgap industry aiming at devices beyond the limits of conventional silicon. Amorphous GaO is widely being used for flexible electronics, but suffers from very high resistivity. Conventional methods of doping like ion implantation require high temperatures post-processing, thereby limiting their use.

Being motivated by a recently synthesized biphenylene carbon monolayer (BPN), using first principles methods, we have studied its inorganic analogue (B-N analogue) named I-BPN. A comparative study of structural, electronic and mechanical properties between BPN and I-BPN was carried out. Like BPN, the stability of I-BPN was verified in terms of formation energy, phonon dispersion calculations, and mechanical parameters (Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio).

Blade coating has been developed to be an essential technique for large-area fabrication of perovskite solar cells (PSCs). However, effective surface treatment of the perovskite layer, which is a critical step for improving PSC performance, remains challenges during blade coating due to the short interaction time between the modification solution and the perovskite layer, as well as the limited selection of available organic solvents. In this study, a novel modifier N,N-diphenylguanidine monohydrobromide (DPGABr) dissolved in acetonitrile (ACN) is blade coated on the MA FA PbI surface in air to reconstruct the perovskite surface in hundreds of milliseconds.
