Hydrogen storage in BC_3 composite single-walled nanotube:a combined density functional theory and Monte Carlo investigation

This paper applies a density functional theory （DFT） and grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations （GCMC） to investigate the physisorptions of molecular hydrogen in single-walled BC3 nanotubes and carbon nanotubes. The DFT calculations may provide useful information about the nature of hydrogen adsorption and physisorption energies in selected adsorption sites of these two nanotubes. Furthermore, the GCMC simulations can reproduce their storage capacity by calculating the weight percentage of the adsorbed molecular hydrogen under different conditions. The present results have shown that with both computational methods, the hydrogen storage capacity of BC3 nanotubes is superior to that of carbon nanotubes. The reasons causing different behaviour of hydrogen storage in these two nanotubes are explained by using their contour plots of electron density and charge-density difference.

Assessment of Advanced xDH@B3LYP Methods in Describing Various Potential Energy Curves Driven byπ-π,CH/π,and SH/πNon-Bonded Interactions

Accurate description of potential energy curves driven by nonbonded interactions remains a great challenge for pure density functional approximations(DFAs).It is because the Rdecay behavior of dispersion cannot be intrinsically captured by the(semi)-local ingredients and the exact-exchange used in the popular hybrid DFAs.Overemphasizing the accuracy on the equilibrium region for the functional construction would likely deteriorate the overall performance on the other regions of potential energy surfaces.In consequence,the empirical dispersion correction becomes the standard component in DFAs to treat the non-bonded interactions.In this Letter,we demonstrate that without the use of empirical dispersion correction,doubly hybrid approximations,in particular two recently proposed rev XYG3 and XYG7 functionals,hold the promise to have a balanced description of non-bonded interactions on the whole potential energy curves for several prototypes ofπ-π,CH/π,and SH/πinteractions.The error of rev XYG3 and XYG7 for non-bonded interactions is around 0.1 kcal/mol,and their potential energy curves almost coincide with the accurate CCSD(T)/CBS curves.

Framework-solvent interactional mechanism and effect of NMP/DMF on solvothermal synthesis of [Zn_4O(BDC)_3]_8

In order to explore the effect mechanism of solvent on the synthesis of the metal organic framework materials, the microscopic interaction between solvent and framework and the effects of N,N-dimethyl-formamide(DMF) or N-methyl- 2-pyrrolidone(NMP) on solvothermal synthesis of [Zn4O(BDC)3]8 were investigated through a combined DFT and experimental study. XRD and SEM showed that the absorbability of NMP in the pore of [Zn4O(BDC)3]8 was weaker than that of DMF. The thermal decomposition temperature of [Zn4O(BDC)3]8 synthesized in DMF was higher than that in NMP according to TG and FT-IR. In addition, the nitrogen sorption isotherms indicated that NMP improved gas sorption property of [Zn4O(BDC)3]8. The COSMO optimized calculations indicated that the total energy of Zn4O(BDC)3 in NMP was higher than that in DMF, and compared with non-solvent system, the charge of zinc atoms decreased and the charge value was the smallest in NMP. Furthermore, the interaction of DMF, NMP or DEF in [Zn4O(BDC)3]8 crystal model was calculated by DFT method. The results suggested that NMP should be easier to be removed from pore of materials than DMF from the point of view of energy state. It can be concluded that NMP was a favorable solvent to synthesize [Zn4O(BDC)3]8 and the microscopic mechanism was that the binding force between Zn4O(BDC)3 and NMP molecule was weaker than DMF.

Simulation of Hot Strip-Rolling Process Based on Dislocation Density Variation

Flatness and profile are important quality indexes of strip. Combining the influence function method to solve the elastic deformation of roll system with the variational method to solve the lateral flow of metal, the flatness and profile of the strip during cold continuous rolling were simulated. The B 3 spline function was used to analogize the lateral distribution of strip thickness. The transverse distributions of the exit thickness and the front tension stress for each pass were obtained. Compared with the measured results, it is proved that using the spline function to analogize the lateral distribution of strip thickness can improve the calculation accuracy of flatness and profile largely.

Selective Sensing Characteristics of Ca Doped BeO Nano-sized Tube toward H20 and NH3

By means of density functional calculations, the structural and electronic properties of chemical modification of pristine and Ca-doped BeO nanotubes were investigated with NH3 and H20 molecules. It was found that the NH3 and H20 molecules can be adsorbed on the Be atom of the tube sidewall with the adsorption energies of about 36.1 and 39.0 kcal/mol, respectively. Density of states analysis shows that the electronic properties of the BeONT are slightly changed after the adsorption processes. Substitution of a Be atom in the tube surface with a Ca atom increases the adsorption energies by about 7.4 and 14.7 kcal/mol for NH3 and H20, respectively. Unlike the pristine tube, the electronic properties of Ca-doped BeONT are sensitive to NH3 and H20 molecules. Also, the Ca-doped tube is much more sensitive to H20 molecule than NH3 one.

Electronic Absorption Spectra and Third-Order Nonlinear Optical Property of Dinaphtho[2,3-b:2’,3’-d]Thiophene-5,7,12,13- Tetraone (DNTTRA) and Its Phenyldiazenyl Derivatives: DFT Calculations

Third-order nonlinear optical (NLO) materials have broad application prospects in high-density data storage, optical computer, modern laser technology, and other high-tech industries. The structures and frequencies of Dinaphtho[2,3-b:2’,3’-d]thiophene-5,7,12,13-tetraone (DNTTRA) and its 36 derivatives containing azobenzene were calculated by using density functional theory B3LYP and M06-2X methods at 6-311++g(d, p) level, respectively. Besides, the atomic charges of natural bond orbitals (NBO) were analyzed. The frontier orbitals and electron absorption spectra of A-G5 molecule were calculated by TD-DFT (TD-B3LYP/6-311++g(d, p) and TD-M06-2X/6-311++g(d, p)). The NLO properties were calculated by effective finite field FF method and self-compiled program. The results show that 36 molecules of these six series are D-π-A-π-D structures. The third-order NLO coefficients γ (second-order hyperpolarizability) of the D series molecules are the largest among the six series, reaching 107 atomic units (10-33 esu) of order of magnitude, showing good third-order NLO properties. Last, the third-order NLO properties of the azobenzene ring can be improved by introducing strong electron donor groups (e.g. -N(CH3)2 or -NHCH3) in the azobenzene ring, so that the third-order NLO materials with good performance can be obtained.

Tuning of NaTaO_3 Band Structure through Mn^(2+) Ion Doping and the Enhanced Visible Light Response

Pure and Mn-doped NaTaO3 nanoparticles were synthesized by a simple hydro- thermal method. XRD and XPS results suggested that manganese ions were successfully doped into the NaTaO3 crystalline in Mn2＋ state. UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectra revealed the obvious red-shift in the series of manganese doped NaTaO3 nanoparticles, resulting in a decrease in the band gap of NaTaO3 with the increase of Mn2＋ doping concentration. The photo-degradation experiment indicated that manganese doped NaTaO3 showed good photocatalytic performance and methylene blue（MB） degradation is improved with lower doping concentration of manganese ions under visible light. The simulation of energy band structure by density functional theory unfolded that the substitution of Ta5＋ ions by Mn2＋ ions resulted in an intermediate band（IB） below the bottom of the conduction band（CB）, which was mainly attributed to the state of Mn 3d.

Evaluation of Quantum Chemical Methods and Basis Sets Applied in the Molecular Modeling of Artemisinin

In this paper, we evaluate semiempirical methods (AM1, PM3, and ZINDO), HF and DFT (B3LYP) in different basis sets to determine which method best describes the sign and magnitude of the geometrical parameters of artemisinin in the region of the endoperoxide ring compared to crystallographic data. We also classify these methods using statistical analysis. The results of PCA were based on three main components, explaining 98.0539% of the total variance, for the geometrical parameters C3O13, O1O2C3, O13C12C12a, and O2C3O13C12. The DFT method (B3LYP) corresponded well with the experimental data in the hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA). The experimental and theoretical angles were analyzed by simple linear regression, and statistical parameters (correlation coefficients, significance, and predictability) were evaluated to determine the accuracy of the calculations. The statistical analysis exhibited a good correlation and high predictive power for the DFT (B3LYP) method in the 6-31G** basis set.
