Abstract Three novel three-dimensional orthorhombic carbon phases are proposed based on first-principles calculations in this work. These phases possess dynamic stability and mechanical stability and are theoretically more favorable in energy compared to most other carbon allotropes. The hardness levels of oP-C16, oP-C20, and oP-C24 are 47.5, 49.6, and 55.3 GPa, respectively, which are greater than those of T10, T18, and O12 carbon. In addition, although oP-C16, oP-C20, and oP-C24 are metals, their ideal shear strengths are also greater than those of common metals such as Cu, Fe, and Al. Due to p y electrons crossing the Fermi level, oP-C16, oP-C20, and oP-C24 show metallicity, and their charge densities of the band decomposition suggest that all the conductive directions of oP-C16, oP-C20, and oP-C24 are exhibited along the a- and b-axis, similar to C5.

Abstract Prussian blue analogs (Na2FeFe(CN)6) have been regarded as potential cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) due to their low-cost iron resources and open framework. Herein, the detailed first-principles calculations have been performed to investigate the electrochemical properties of NaxFeFe(CN)6 during Na ion extraction. The material undergoes a phase transition from a dense rhombohedral to open cubic structure upon half-desodiation, which is resulted from competition of the Na−N Coulomb attraction and d−π covalent bonding of Fe−N. The analyses on the density of states, magnetic moments and Bader charges of NaxFeFe(CN)6 reveal that there involve in the successive redox reactions of high-spin Fe2+/Fe3+ and low-spin Fe2+/Fe3+ couples during desodiation. Moreover, the facile three-dimensional diffusion channels for Na+ ions exhibit low diffusion barriers of 0.4 eV ~ 0.44 eV, which ensures a rapid Na+ transport in the NaxFeFe(CN)6 framework, contributing to high rate performance of the battery. This study gives a deeper understanding of the electrochemical mechanisms of NaxFeFe(CN)6 during Na+ extraction, which is beneficial for the rational design of superior PBA cathodes for SIBs.

The presence, nature, and impact of chemical short-range order in the multi-principal element alloy CrCoNi are all topics of current interest and debate. First-principles calculations reveal that its origins are fundamentally magnetic, involving repulsion between like-spin Co–Cr and Cr–Cr pairs that is complemented by the formation of a magnetically aligned sublattice of second-nearest-neighbor Cr atoms. Ordering models following these principles are found to predict otherwise anomalous experimental measurements concerning both magnetization and atomic volumes across a range of compositions. In addition to demonstrating the impact of magnetic interactions and resulting chemical rearrangement, the possible explanation of experiments would imply that short-range order of this type is far more prevalent than previously realized.

Based on first-principles calculations, we predict that the monolayer AuTe2Cl is a quantum spin Hall (QSH) insulator with a topological band gap about 10 meV. The three-dimensional (3D) AuTe2Cl is a topological semimetal that can be viewed as the monolayer stacking along [Formula: see text] axis. By studying the energy-level distribution of [Formula: see text] orbitals of Te atoms for the bulk and the monolayer, we find that the confinement effect driven [Formula: see text] band inversion is responsible for the topological nontrivial nature of monolayer. Since 3D bulk AuTe2Cl has already been experimentally synthesized, we expect that monolayer AuTe2Cl can be exfoliated from a bulk sample and the predicted QSH effect can be observed.
