AbstractIn this study, based on density functional theory, we propose a new branch of pseudo-fullerenes which contain triple bonds with sp hybridization. We call these new nanostructures fullerynes, according to IUPAC. We present four samples with the chemical formula of C4nHn, and the structures derived from fulleranes. We compare the structural and electronic properties of these structures with those of two common fullerenes and fulleranes systems. The calculated electron affinities of the sampled fullerynes are negative, and much smaller than those of fullerenes, so they should be chemically more stable than fullerenes. Although fulleranes also exhibit higher chemical stability than fullerynes, but pentagon or hexagon of the fullerane structures cannot pass ions and molecules. Applications of fullerynes can be included in the storage of ions and gases at the nanoscale. On the other hand, they can also be used as cathode/anode electrodes in lithium-ion batteries.

By a simple chemical bath method, new carambola-like structured CuO had been fabricated in a solution composed of Cu(NO3)2, NaOH and hexamethylenetetramine (HMTA). The formation of such structure was caused by in-situ dehydration and separation of flower-like petals composed of several pieces of copper hydroxide sheets. The corresponding electrochemical reactivity of structured CuO has been investigated, which demonstrated the potential application for lithium ion batteries.

Structural and electronic properties of a new fluorine-free cathode material of polyanionichydroxysulfates, LiFeSO4OH withcaminitestructure are studied using first principles density functional theory. From the calculated result, it reveals that antiferromagnetic configuration is more stable compared to ferromagnetic and non-magnetic configuration. Meanwhile, the density of state calculation divulges that this material exhibited large d-d type of band gap and would behave as a Mott-Hubbard insulator. Thus, this behaviour can lead to poor electronic conductivity.

One of the fluorosulphate family cathode materials viz. LiFeSO4F is investigated by means of first principle calculation. The effects of lithium extraction on the electronic and structural properties in lithiated and delithiated phases were studied. It can be noted that the iono-covalency particularly in the M-X bond (M=transition metal, X= ligand) has played an important role to determine the redox potential instead of electronegativity. Therefore, the bond length (BL) and bond order (BO) are calculated to depict the ionic and covalent characters of the materials.
