Additionally, nanostructuring—altering the material's structure at the nanoscale—has emerged as a powerful method to engineer band gaps. Despite its potential, Band Gap Engineering faces challenges, ...

This transformation completely eliminates all the two-coordinate acetylenic carbons from graphyne, yet it preserves the layered structure. The transformation also modifies the band gap of the ...

The need to find materials with specified functionalities: Society’s goals to deliver a material that is 30% more efficient at converting sunlight to electricity, or a battery with 5 times higher ...
