Abstract Carbon-based materials have become indispensable in the field of electrochemical applications, especially for energy storage or conversion purposes. A large diversity has been proposed and investigated last years. In this mini-review, we present recent advances design carbon-based application vanadium redox flow batteries. As main part, different modification fabrication methods electr...

Density functional theory ,(DFT) calculations have been performed to investigate the properties ofcarbon decorated (C-decorated) models of boron nitride (BN) nanocones. To this aim, the apex andtip of nanocone have been substituted by the carbon atoms to represent the C-decorated models. Theresults indicated that dipole moments and energy gaps could reveal the effects of C-decorations onthe pro...

attractiveness principal in iranian- islamic architecture and decorating in this issue iranian architecture in the period of islam use different means to show the influential and effective thoughts and interpretations and meanings on the people. one way to identify the means is to research and investigate in the audience’s cognition and understanding particularly architectures and identify the ...

The distribution of partition function zeros of the two-dimensional Ising model in the complex temperature plane is studied within the context of triangular decorated lattices and their triangle-star transformations. Exact recursion relations for the zeros are deduced for the description of the evolution of the distribution of the zeros subject to the change of decoration level. In the limit of...

Effective and bright light-emitting-diodes (LEDs) have attracted broad interests in fundamental research and industrial application, especially on short wavelength LEDs. In this paper, a well aligned ZnO nanorod arrays grown on the p-GaN substrate to form a heterostructured light-emitting diode and Al nanoparticles (NPs) were decorated to improve the electroluminescence performance. More than 3...

Transition metal disulfides have been attracting significant attentions in recent years. There are extensive applications of transition metal disulfides, especially on gas sensing applications, due to their large specific surface-to-volume ratios, high sensitivity to adsorption of gas molecules and tunable surface functionality depending on the decoration species or functional groups. However, ...

Steinhardt, Jeong, Saitoh, Tanaka, Abe & Tsai [Nature (London) (1998), 396, 55-57] have demonstrated that the structure of decagonal Al-Ni-Co can be built from overlapping clusters of a single type. The structure arises from a decoration of the decagons of a Gummelt covering. The unit (essentially a decagonal prism) was called by Steinhardt et al. a 'quasi unit cell'. In this work, a classifica...
