        In this study, the fullerenes have been inserted into water base-fluid to investigate the atomic and thermal behavior of nanofluid and hybridnanofluid as heat transfer fluid. This choice derives from low cast and high thermal stability of this nanostructure. Our computational results from Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations indicate that the addition of nanoparticles with 4% atomic ratio produced an appreciable effect on the nanofluid. The maximum value of density, velocity, and temperature profile have reached to 0.029 atom/cubic angstrom, 0.005 angstrom/ps, and 321 centigrade degree. Its thermal conductivity would increase to 0.82 W/m.K. Heat flux reached to 2019 kW/m2 after t= 10 ns. Also, the aggregation phenomenon detected after t= 5.84 ns. This hybridnanofluid has been used to enhance the energy efficiency of the heat exchangers at high temperature for the nuclear industry applications for the first time. Numerically, by the temperature increase of nanofluid structure to 625.15 K, thermal power of nanofluid reached to 3881 MW. The thermal performance of hybridnanofluid can be improved by more than 30% by adding concentration of fullerene and doped fullerene at 4 vol%. پرونده مقاله

        AbstractThe nature of electron pairing mechanism and physical properties leading to superconducting state and normal state resistivity in alkali metal (Rb) intercalated fullerenes are explored. Keeping in mind that free electrons in lowest molecular orbital are coupled with inter-molecular phonons, the coupling with inter-molecular phonon leads to transition temperature (Tc) of about 4.17 K. The electrons also couple with the intra-molecular phonons. Within the framework of strong coupling theory, Tc is estimated at 34 K. The carbon isotope effect exponent, the energy gap ratio, influence of pressure and volume on Tc, and thermodynamical parameters describing the superconducting state confer that Rb3C60 as s-wave superconductor. Estimated contribution to resistivity using scattering with inter- and intra-molecular phonon, when subtracted from single crystal data, infers quadratic temperature dependence over most of the temperature range and is attributed to electron–electron inelastic scattering. Both low frequency intermolecular and high frequency intra-molecular phonons have significant bearing in Rb3C60 superconductor. پرونده مقاله

        There are only a handful reports about the sensor systems having the ability of detecting the existence of the noble gases. Chemical reluctance of these gaseous species causes them to have no chemical interactions like hydrogen bonding with the chemically designed nano-sized sensors. Noble gasses usually have no atomic charges nor do change the total polarity of the molecular sensor systems. These conditions might be more strongly observed for the cases of the lighter noble gases like helium. These properties impede designing molecular sensors for detecting the existence of the noble gasses. Due to these, in this project, we have tried to examine the ability of N4B4 cluster, C20 fullerene, and the graphene segment as especial nano-sized systems in adsorbing and detecting the existence of some noble gasses, by changing their electrical conductivity. The results showed that the N4B4 cluster could sense the existence of the noble gases, better and more selective than the C20 fullerene, or the graphene segment. پرونده مقاله

        The substitution reaction of pure, silicon doped and germanium doped fullerenes and tetryl were evaluated computationally at two configurations, in this study. For this purpose, all of the studied structures were optimized geometrically and then IR and NBO calculations were performed on them in the temperature range of 300-400 K at 10˚ intervals. The obtained negative values of Gibbs free energy variations(ΔGf), formation enthalpy alterations (ΔHf) and great values of thermodynamic equilibrium constant (Kth) prove that the reaction of the doped and also undoped fullerenes with tetryl is exothermic, spontaneous, one-sided and experimentally feasible. The impact of temperature on the thermodynamic parameters of the reaction was also inspected and the results indicate that 298.15 K is the optimum temperature for the synthesis of all of the derived products from the interaction of tetryl and the studied nanostructures. The calculated specific heat capacity values (Cv) show that the sensitivity of tetryl to the shock and heat has decreased significantly after its junction to fullerene nanostructures. Moreover, the increasing of N-O bond lengths after the fullerene substitution shows that the explosive power of tetryl has defused after its binding to the surface of fullerene. The obtained density values demonstrate that germanium doped C20 has the best impression on the improvement of the blasting power of tetryl in comparison to ordinary and silicon doped fullerene. پرونده مقاله

        Sarin is a very toxic organophosphorus chemical warfare agent which has been used in different wars. According to an immediate demand of detection, secure approachs to break down this toxic nerve agent, the study on decomposition of sarin achieve significance. In this work, we have made endeavors of discovering an approach to neutralize this hazardous kind by adsorption of this molecule by C20 fullerene and its boron doped derivative. The results show that Sarin can form interactions with the C20 cage in its neutral state and the interactions can be enhanced significantly by introducing an extra boron atom to the system. The adsorption energy values and equilibrium distances for various adsorption states were calculated, and it was found that the GB molecule adsorbs onto the boron doped derivative with greater affinity than on pure fullerene. Probably, the GB is physisorbed on fullerene, while its adsorption on the boron doped derivative from O and P heads has a chemical nature. In that case, a partial positive charge was developed on boron atom, and was delocalized by O-P=O functional group in GB. As a result, GB is chemisorbed on boron doped derivative, contrary to the GBfullerene interaction, which occurs physically. پرونده مقاله

        The spectroscopic properties of the 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-piperidine-1-oxyl (TEMPO) radicalderivatives of the fullerene (C60) were theoretically investigated. The ground state optimizedstructures of the radical adducts of the fullerene were calculated by using DFT (B3LYP) with 6-31G(d) level. It was concluded that a 6-6 ring junction of C60 moiety generally covalently links to thepiperidine ring of the TEMPO derivatives, directly. The optimization characteristics of all thefullerene radical derivatives indicate generally a annulene structure while C60+TEMPO indicate acyclopropane structure which is formed by the link of the carbon of the piperidine ring doubly to a 6-6 ring junction of C60. The calculated isotropic hyperfine coupling constants, vibrational frequenciesand UV- Vis transition energies of all the radical adducts were seen to be in good agreement with thecorresponding experimental data. The UV-Vis transitions and their energies were determined withcorresponding to the experimental values. In the IR analysis the shifts of vibrational frequencies havebeen commented by comparison with those belonged to the pure C60. Also the some selectedgeometrical parameters with together the cage width and the cage length for the ground stateoptimized structures of all the radical adducts were listed, and the binding energies of the radicalswere obtained. پرونده مقاله

        The binding, release and oxidation of oxygen occur at the heme group iron ion. Hemoglobinoxidation-reduction studies have been previously performed using spectroelectrochemistry (SEC) andhave provided insight into the hemoglobin electron transfer process and more specifically, into theheme group electronic factor and subunit interaction influences. In this study, the number of fullerenecarbon atoms was used as an index to establish a relationship between the structures of hemoglobin Aand - and -fumarate crosslinked hemoglobins, which were designated as HbA, XL and XL-[HbA] 1-3, respectively. These compounds represent the most well-known blood molecular systemsand fullerenes (Cn, where n = 60, 70, 76, 82 or 86), which generated the following complexes:Cn@[HbA], A-1 to A-5; Cn@DXL-[HbA], B-1 to B-5 and Cn@EXL-[HbA], C-1 to C-5. Therelationship between the carbon atom number and electron transfer free energies (Get) were assessedusing the Rehm-Weller equation for A-1 to A-5, B1 to B-5 and C-1 to C-5 supramolecular Cn@X-[HbA] (where HbA = hemoglobin A; X = - and -fumarate crosslinked hemoglobins (XL & XL))and complexes 4-57, which possessed different electrochemical properties. Calculations werepresented for the first Cn oxidation potentials (Ox.E1). The results were used to calculate the electrontransfer first free energies (Get(1)) of supramolecular complexes A-1 to A-5, B1 to B-5 and C-1 to C-5 for fullerenes C60 to C300. The first free activation energies and kinetic rate constants of the electrontransfers, G#et(n) (Get(1)#) and ket, respectively, were also calculated in this study for A-1 to A-7, B1to B-7 and C-1 to C-7 (compounds 4-24) in accordance with the Marcus theory. پرونده مقاله

        The structural stabilities, geometry and electronic properties of C24 and some its heterofullerenederivatives are compared at the B3LYP/6-311-EFG**//B3LYP/6-31+G* level of theory. Vibrationalfrequency calculations show that all the systems are true minima. The calculated binding energies ofheterofullerenes show C24 as the, most stable fullerenes by 9.03eV/atom. While decreasing bindingenergy in C12B6N6, B6N6C12 and B12Ni2 through increasing their HOMO-LUMO gap, theconductivity of them is increasing. High point charges are predicted to establish an overall chargetransfer on the surface of heterofullerene. 13C NMR of C24 fullerene consists of two lines. Dopedmodels show several lines at different positions relative to lines for C24 fullerene. Boron, nitrogen,and carbon adopt different roles around carbon sites. The Nucleus-independent chemical shift(NICS) calculations show more negative NICS values in BN-substituted heterofullerenes than thoseOf C24. پرونده مقاله

        Extensive urbanization has greatly raised the demand for cleaner coal- and petroleum-derived fuels. Mainly composed of methane, natural gas represents a promising alternative for this purpose, making its storage a significant topic. In the present research, deposition of methane molecules in C60 fullerene was investigated through a combined approach wherein density functional based tight binding (DFTB) method was used to optimize the geometry while ab initio density functional theory (DFT) served as a tool for energy calculation. Doping endohedral methane molecules onto fullerene nanocage, it was witnessed that, the only stable complex might be formed by a single methane molecule entrapped inside the C60 cage. It was further indicated that, when a large number of encapsulated CH4 molecules are concerned, occasional chemisorption of the molecules on the inner surface of the cage would occur, ending up breaking the capsule side wall at NCH4=7. Further studied by density-functional tight-binding molecular dynamics (DFTB-MD) simulation, mechanism of the breakage indicated this complex as being highly unlikely to be stable. پرونده مقاله

        The Graphene based single electron transistor (SET) as a coulomb blockade device need to be explored .It is a unique device for high-speed operation in a nano scale regime. A single electron transfers via the coulomb barriers, but its movement may be prevented by coulomb blockade, so its effect is investigated in this research. The conditions of coulomb blockade and its controlling factors such as material, temperature, gate voltage and island length are investigated. At first, the coulomb blockade on fullerene SET as a nano transistor with new material is modeled and compared with experimental data of silicon SET. The comparison study indicates that the coulomb blockade range of fullerene SET is lower than the silicon one. On the other hand, the analysis demonstrates that, temperature and gate voltage play direct associations with zero current SET. In addition, island length and its material effect on coulomb blockade and desired current are achieved by decreasing the coulomb blockade range. پرونده مقاله

        Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed to investigate adsorptions of vitamin C (Vit) on the surface a fullerene structure (Ful) in gaseous and water–solvated systems. Two models of Vit including OVit and MVit were created based on the original structure of Vit for OVit and methylation of all hydroxyl groups for MVit. All singular and hybrid structures were optimized and the molecular properties were then evaluated for them. Binding energies and dipole moments indicated that the formation of MVit–Ful hybrid could be more favourable than OVit–Ful hybrid. Molecular orbital properties of hybrid systems demonstrated almost similarity to each other and similarity to the singular Ful model; however, they are completely different from both of singular Vit models. It could be mentioned that the Vit counterparts miss their contributions to molecular orbital distributions in the hybrid systems. Quadrupole coupling constants (CQ) have been also evaluated for oxygen atoms of Vit counterparts in both singular and hybrid models, in which they demonstrated the effects of interactions on the atomic scale properties of Vit counterparts. The evaluated results indicated the solvent effects on all molecular and atomic scales properties of Vit and Ful structures in both of singular and hybrid situations. پرونده مقاله

        Infrared (IR) and ultraviolet (UV) spectroscopic analysis of eight structural isomers of C20 carbon nanostructures, i.e. ring, tadpole, bow-tie, dumb-bell, spiro, propellane, bowl and cage, were performed at different levels of theory including semi-empirical (AM1 and PM3), Hartree-Fock (HF/6-31++G, 6-31++G**) and density functional theory (B3LYP/6-31++G, 6-31++G**). A broad range of IR spectra (400-2700 cm-1) is covered by C-C bending vibrations (low frequency region) and C-C stretching vibrations (high frequency region) in almost all isomers. The absorption maximum (&lambda;max) in UV spectra for bowl and cage isomers appears below 300 nm and for cyclic isomers above it. These results show that IR and UV spectra are useful tools for identification of C20 structural isomers. پرونده مقاله

        Hydrogen storage capacity of Si-coated B80 fullerene was investigated based on density functional theory calculations within local density approximation and generalized gradient approximation. It is found that Si atom prefer to be attached above the center of pentagon with a binding energy of -5.78 eV. It is inferred that this binding is due to the charge transfer between the Si atom and B80 cage, such as B80AM, B80Ca and B80Mg complexes. The media produced by 12 Si atoms coating on B80, i.e. Si12B80, which Si atoms do not cluster on the B80 surface, can store up to 96 hydrogen molecules resulting in the gravimetric density of 13.87 wt %. Binding of 96 H2 molecules adsorbed on Si12B80 is found to be -0.03 eV/H2 based on the first-principles van der Waals density functional calculations being an indication of the weak interaction (physisorption) between H2 molecules and B80. Furthermore, the adsorption behavior of 96 H2 molecules around the Si12B80 complex was studied through ab initio molecular dynamics simulation at room temperature. Our finding shows that hydrogen molecules escape from the cage, which highlights that the corresponding system easily releases the hydrogen molecules at ambient conditions. پرونده مقاله

        Single-atom catalysts have recently received much scientific attraction as sustainable catalysts due to their greater activity and selectivity arising from the uniform distribution, electronic properties, and quantum mechanical interactions at the nanoscale of single atoms coupled with interactions at the metal-support interfaces. Carbon-based materials are an excellent support material for single-atom catalysts owing to their inherent properties such as adjustable pore size, high surface area to volume ratio, and ease of surface functionalization. The interactions at the single atom-carbon support interfaces give rise to the extraordinary catalytic activity in carbon-based single metal catalysts thus opening doors for a wide range of sustainable applications. This review focuses on the evolution of carbon-based single-atom catalysis covering different types of carbon substrates, usage of different single atoms with special attention to transition metals, and its wide range of applications including photocatalysis, organic catalysis, and electrocatalysis followed by the future perspectives on carbon-based single-atom catalysts. پرونده مقاله
