The calculated energy band structures show that the tetragonal phase BiOCuS is an indirect semiconductor with the calculated band gap of about 0.503 eV. The density of states (DOS) and the partial density of states (PDOS) calculations show that the DOS near the Fermi level is mainly from the Cu-3d state. Population analysis suggests that the chemical bonding in BiOCuS has predominantly ionic character with mixed covalent-ionic character. Basic physical properties, such as lattice constant, bulk modulus, shear modulus, elastic constants, were calculated. The elastic modulus and Poisson ratio were also predicted. The results show that tetragonal phase BiOCuS is mechanically stable and behaves in a ductile manner.展开更多

Removal of SO_2 and NOx doubled the cost of power generation, and capture of CO_2 is equivalent to double the market price of power coal. The GCP (green coal power) is the power generated in coal-combustion with zero emission. The author indicates that it is possible to make coal-fired power plants emission free based on thermodynamic analysis and purposely designed experiments using SFG (simulated flue gases). It is concluded in the study that all SO_2 and NOx in the post-combustion flue gas are reduced to inoffensive substances at temperature lower than 750 ℃ when contacting carbon and elemental sulfur is separated in succeeded cooling of flue gas at temperatures 200-400 ℃, and the ultrafine dusts are trapped in condensed water at temperature blow 100 ℃. Based on chemical engineering expertise the author is sure that the cost for removing acid gases is much lower than any clean coal technologies known to today. Instead of capture, the remained CO_2 is converted to CO in the second time contact with carbon at 900-950 ℃. CO is the raw material of chemical synthesis and, thus, CO_2 is stored in chemical products such as methanol, fertilizer, plastics, etc. The simple and low-cost processing allows GCP utilized in practice easily.展开更多

Theoretical results indicate that the fundamental electronic properties of TiY2N@C80 are similar to that of TiSc2N@C80, but dramatically different from that of ScaN@C800 and YaN@C80 molecules. We find that the magnetism of TiY2N@C80 is quenched by carrier doping. The rotation energy barrier of the TiY2N cluster in C80 cage was obviously increased by exohedral chemical modification with pyrrolidine monoadduct.展开更多

By comparing our calculation results with previous experimental works, we found that the predicted electronic structures of Cu<sub>2</sub>Se, Cu<sub>2</sub>Te and Cu<sub>2</sub>S transform from semimetal to semiconductor after adding on-site Coulomb U, which reflects the real properties of the materials. By using (Density Functional Theory) DFT + U method, the calculation result is close to the real electronic structure. The calculation result of chemical shift of adding U does not reach the ideal expectation, and the reason is not clear at present. In this paper, the theoretical electronic structures of Cu<sub>2</sub>Se, Cu<sub>2</sub>Te and Cu<sub>2</sub>S are better calculated by DFT + U method and compared with the actual properties. The effect of Cu-s electron on the chemical shift is understood, and a theoretical result of the chemical shift is calculated, which provides a powerful reference for the subsequent research and understanding of the electronic structure and physical properties of the compounds with S groups of Cu.展开更多
