Tyler Smart was accepted into the QISE-NET program! The Quantum Leap Big Idea was formulated as a cross-NSF activity focused on advancing the development of quantum technologies. The “Triplets” approach is one of the activities funded under the Quantum Leap umbrella. This network is about development of a cohort of triplets, with each triplet comprising...Read More
Tyler Smart received a summer internship at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory! The Computational Chemistry & Materials Science (CCMS) Summer Institute at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) offers graduate students the opportunity to work directly with leading LLNL researchers on the development and application of cutting edge methods in computational materials science and chemistry and other...Read More
Nickel sulfide (Ni3S2) is a promising hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) catalyst by virtue of its metallic electrical conductivity and excellent stability in alkaline medium. However, the reported catalytic activities for Ni3S2 are still relatively low. Herein, an effective strategy to boost the H adsorption capability and HER performance of Ni3S2 through nitrogen (N) doping is...Read More
Charged defects in two-dimensional (2D) materials have emerging applications in quantum technologies such as quantum emitters and quantum computation. The advancement of these technologies requires a rational design of ideal defect centers, demanding reliable computation methods for the quantitatively accurate prediction of defect properties. We present an accurate, parameter-free, and efficient procedure to evaluate...Read More
A complete study of the effect of defects (including Oxygen vacancies, Nitrogen, Nitrogen+Oxygen Vacancy and Tin) on the electronic structure of Hematite (Fe2O3), including a further study on small polaron transport in pristine Hematite and Sn-doped Hematite. This work provides key insight into how these defects affect the photoconductivity of a hematite based photoanode for...Read More
In this combined experimental and theoretical work, electrochemical studies showed that the resulting Fe, N-codoped carbons exhibited enhanced electrocatalytic activity toward oxygen reduction in alkaline media as compared to the counterparts doped with nitrogen alone (link). Bingzhang Lu, Tyler J. Smart, Dongdong Qin, Jia En Lu, Nan Wang, Limei Chen, Yi Peng, Yuan Ping and...Read More
