Recent experimental synthesis of the biphenylene network (C) motivated us to discover new BN-doped biphenylene networks (CBN, CBN, and BN) and their applications in Li(K)-ion batteries using an evolutionary algorithm and the first-principles calculations. The thermodynamic, thermal, and mechanical stability calculations and decomposition energy suggest the experimental synthesis of predicted biphenylene networks. Adding BN in the biphenylene networks shows a transition from metal to semimetal to semiconductor. The BN biphenylene network shows an HSE06 band gap of 3.06 eV, smaller than -BN. The CBN and CBN biphenylene networks offer Li(K) adsorption energy of −0.56 eV (−0.81 eV) and −0.14 eV (−0.28 eV), respectively, with a low diffusion barrier of 178 meV (58 meV) and 251 meV (79 meV), and a large diffusion constant of 8.50 × 10 (8.78 × 10) and 5.33 × 10 (4.12 × 10), respectively. The calculated Li(K) theoretical capacity of CBN and CBN biphenylene networks is 940.21 mA h g (899.01 mA h g) and 768.08 mA h g (808.47 mA h g), with a low open circuit voltage of 0.34 V (0.23 V), and 0.17 V (0.13 V), resulting in very high energy density of 2576.18 mW h g (2445.31 mW h g) and 2181.35 mW h g (2263.72 mW h g), respectively. Only a slight volume change of 1.6% confirms the robustness of BN-doped carbon-based biphenylene networks. Our findings present novel 2D BN-doped biphenylene networks and a pathway toward their applications in metal-ion batteries.","PeriodicalId":501090,"journal":{"name":"Nano Materials Science","volume":"24 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140155123","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, developing marine antifouling materials and antifouling technologies is extremely difficult due to the complexity of the marine environment and the biodiversity of the fouling. Therefore, it is the key breakthrough to develop advanced materials for solving marine fouling problems. Nanomaterials with small dimensions and controlled micro-structure have outstanding antifouling efficiency and great promise for various antifouling fields. Herein, the development of antifouling nanomaterials and technologies in recent years are reviewed for aspects of types of antifouling nanomaterials, technologies of antifouling, and potential application of antifouling. The antifouling nanomaterials are categorized as non-metal-based nanomaterials, metal-based nanomaterials, polymeric nanomaterials, composite nanomaterials, and others. Additionally, the potential applications of antifouling nanomaterials, including marine antifouling, water treatment, and medical antifouling are discussed. Finally, we proposed the perspectives of research and development trends of the antifouling nanomaterials. This overview may promote the development of new efficient antifouling nanomaterials and develop their potential commercial applications.","PeriodicalId":501090,"journal":{"name":"Nano Materials Science","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140155315","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
