New Optoelectronic Functionalities using Large-scale Computations
Assembling Lego-like, 2D heterostructures can give rise to emergent properties and functionalities very different from the intrinsic characteristics of the constituents.
Density functional theory (DFT)-based...
Technology for Aqueous Zinc Batteries
Most energy storage systems (ESSs) have recently adopted lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), with the highest technology maturity among secondary batteries. However, these are argued to...
New Drivers for Hydrogen Fuel Cells looks Promising
Hydrogen fuel cells hold a lot of promise as sustainable and eco-friendly energy sources to power transportation by land, air, and sea. But traditional...
Gauging battery performance with Computer Simulation
