Low-Temperature Solution-Processed Perovskite Solar Cells with High Efficiency and Flexibility

Perovskite compounds have attracted recently great attention in photovoltaic research. The devices are typically fabricated using condensed or mesoporous TiO2 as the electron tr...

Charging Effects on Bonding and Catalyzed Oxidation of CO on Au ₈ Clusters on MgO

Gold octamers (Au 8 ) bound to oxygen-vacancy F-center defects on Mg(001) are the smallest clusters to catalyze the low-temperature oxidation of CO to CO 2 , whereas clusters de...

<i>Ab initio</i>calculation of ideal strength and phonon instability of graphene under tension

Graphene-based $s{p}^{2}$-carbon nanostructures such as carbon nanotubes and nanofibers can fail near their ideal strengths due to their exceedingly small dimensions. We have ca...
