Abstract Development of high capacity anode materials is one of the essential strategies for
next-generation high-performance Li/Na-ion batteries. Rational design, using density …

Bidimensional nanostructures have been proposed as hydrogen-storage systems owing to
their large surface-to-volume ratios. Germanium carbide monolayers (GeC-MLs) can offer …

In recent years, several atomically thin two-dimensional (2D) materials have been reported
with remarkable properties that prospect them as potential structures for nanotechnological …

We report the electronic, the thermal, and the optical properties of a Germagraphene (GeC)
monolayer taking into account buckling effects. The relatively wide direct band gap of a flat …

Herein we investigate the spectra of crystal structures and their metastability for elemental
carbon and the entire set of group-IV monocarbides (SiC, GeC, and SnC) using the ab initio …

In the present research, the effect of the Ge: C ratio was evaluated and explained on the
bonding structure, the hardness, and residual stress of germanium-carbon (Ge 1-xC x) …

Exploring the phonon characteristics of novel group-IV binary XC (X= Si, Ge, Sn) carbides
and their polymorphs has recently gained considerable scientific/technological interest as …

The equilibrium structure of germanium dicarbide GeC2 has been an open question since
the late 1950s. Although most high-level quantum calculations predict an L-shaped …

In the current study, amorphous/nanocrystalline Ge 1− x single bondC x films were prepared
by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD), and the effect of carbon content …

The hot carrier (HC) solar cell is one of the most promising advanced photovoltaic concepts.
It aims to minimise two major losses in single junction solar cells due to sub-band gap loss …
