This study predicts the thermoelectric figure of merit (ZT) for defective gamma-graphyne nanoribbons (γ-GYNRs) using binary coding, convolutional neural networks (CNN), long short-term memory networks (LSTM), and multi-scale feature fusion. The approach accurately predicts ZT values with only 500 initial structures (3% of 16,512 candidates), achieving an R above 0.91 and a mean absolute error (MAE) of 0.05 to 0.06. The use of artificial feature extraction combined with an attention mechanism reveals that the number and distribution of defects are crucial for achieving high ZT values. γ-GYNRs with moderate and evenly distributed defect count show superior thermoelectric performance. This demonstrates the effectiveness of neural networks in designing low-dimensional materials like γ-GYNRs and offers insights into exploring other materials with excellent thermoelectric properties.

DFT calculations were used to study the quantum capacitance of pure, B/Al/Si/N/P-doped, and defective γ-graphyne. Due to the direct relationship between capacitance and electronic states around the Fermi level, structures' electronic properties were evaluated by DOS plots. The results of integrated specific quantum capacitance in the range of water stability potential show an improvement of capacity in each p and n-type doping.

Low-cost and efficient multifunctional electrodes play an important part in promoting the practical application of energy conversion and storage. Herein, we report the facile synthesis of N-graphyne, with a novel structure, by one-step ball milling of CaC2 and pyrazine. The accurate doping of nitrogen atoms at the controllable sites of the molecular skeleton of γ-graphyne was achieved using the nitrogenous precursor (pyrazine) as a reactant.

Graphyne materials are potential candidates to fabricate low-cost but efficient metal-free oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) electrocatalysts. However, due to the coexistence of sp and sp2 carbon atoms in graphyne, some factors playing important roles in determining the ORR activity have received little attention. In the present paper, we carried out thorough density functional theory (DFT) calculations to study the curvature effect on the ORR activity of γ-graphyne.

Defects such as vacancies and impurities could have profound effects on the transport properties of thermoelectric materials. However, it is usually quite difficult to directly calculate the thermoelectric properties of defect-containing systems via first-principles methods since a very large supercell is required. In this work, based on the linear response theory and the kernel polynomial method, we present an efficient approach that can help to calculate the thermoelectric transport coefficients of a large system containing millions of atoms at arbitrary chemical potential and temperature.
