However, there is currently a lack of research on the mechanisms of charge transfer and cluster intercalation between AlCl4 and AlN cathode materials. Herein, first-principles calculations are employed to investigate the intercalation mechanism of AlCl4 within the AlN cathode. By calculating the formation energies of stage-1–5 AlN–AlCl4 intercalation compounds with the insertion of individual AlCl4 cluster, we found that the structure of the stage-4 intercalation compounds exhibits the highest stability, suggesting that when the clusters begin to intercalate, it is important to start with the formation of the stage-4 intercalation compounds. In the subsequent phases of the charging process (stages 1 and 2), the stabilized structure with four inserted clusters demonstrates two characteristics: the coexistence of standing and lying clusters and the insertion of two standing clusters in an upside-down doubly stacked configuration, which further improve the spatial utilization while maintaining the structural stability. In addition, we infer that a phenomenon of coexisting intercalation compounds with mixed stages will occur in the course of the charging and discharging processes. More importantly, the diffusion barrier of AlCl4 in AlN–AlCl4 intercalation compounds decreases with the reduction of stage number, ensuring the rate performance of batteries. Therefore, we expect that our work will contribute to comprehend the intercalation mechanism of AlCl4 into the AlN cathode materials of aluminum ion batteries, providing guidance for related experimental work.","PeriodicalId":501648,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Chemical Physics","volume":"86 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142260505","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}

This method is based on the node of the Hartree–Fock (HF) Slater determinant and the stochastic projector fixed-node diffusion Monte Carlo (FNDMC) method [Šulka et al., J. Chem. Theory Comput. 19, 8147 (2023)]. This approach addresses the challenge of dissecting correlation energy in quantum chemistry. Here, we present the first application of this technique to explore CASSCF correlation energy contributions in selected molecular systems such as BH, FH, F2, and H2–H2. The results show that correlation energies derived from the full-valence active space CASSCF method, often believed to describe mostly non-dynamic correlation effects, contain an extraneous, unwanted, system-dependent component that belongs to the dynamic correlation energy. The findings suggest that the new HF-node/FNDMC-based electron correlation energy decomposition method provides a useful complementary tool, enabling the detection of inherent challenges in distinguishing between dynamic and non-dynamic contributions to correlation energies within methods where precise dissection of these effects is not possible.","PeriodicalId":501648,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Chemical Physics","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142260507","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}

We use the developed KS-FLMOs to propose a novel energy decomposition analysis, which we name Kohn–Sham fragment energy decomposition analysis, which allows for rationalizing the main non-covalent interactions occurring in interacting systems both in vacuo and in solution, providing physical insights into non-covalent interactions.

Yet, the interplay between self-propulsion and anisotropic dipole–dipole interactions on dynamic self-assembly in three dimensions (3D) remains poorly understood. We conduct Brownian dynamics simulations of active dipolar particles in 3D, focusing on the low-density regime, where dipolar hard spheres tend to form chain-like aggregates and percolated networks with increasing dipolar coupling strength. We find that strong active forces override dipolar attractions, effectively inhibiting chain-like aggregation and network formation. Conversely, activating particles with low to moderate forces results in a fluid composed of active chains and rings. At strong dipolar coupling strengths, this active fluid transitions into an active gel, consisting of a percolated network of active chains. Although the overall structure of the active gel remains interconnected, the network experiences more frequent configurational rearrangements due to the reduced bond lifetime of active dipolar particles. Consequently, particles exhibit enhanced translational and rotational diffusion within the active fluid of strings and active gels compared to their passive counterparts. We quantify the influence of activity on aggregate topology as they transition from branched structures to unconnected chains and rings. Our findings are summarized in a state diagram, delineating the impact of dipolar coupling strength and active force magnitude on the system.","PeriodicalId":501648,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Chemical Physics","volume":"207 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142260512","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}

These NE-FGR expressions capture the full-time-dependent behavior of the rate constant for transitions from polariton states to dark states. The rate is shown to be reduced to the well-known frequency domain-based equilibrium Fermi’s golden rule (E-FGR) expression in the equilibrium and collective limit and is shown to retain the same scaling with the number of sites in non-equilibrium and non-collective cases. We use these NE-FGR to perform population dynamics with a time-non-local and time-local quantum master equation and obtain accurate population dynamics from the initially occupied upper or lower polariton states. Furthermore, NE-FGR significantly improves the accuracy of the population dynamics when starting from the lower polariton compared to the E-FGR theory, highlighting the importance of the non-Markovian behavior and the short-time transient behavior in the transition rate constant.","PeriodicalId":501648,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Chemical Physics","volume":"86 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142260514","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}

The light source utilization rate and interfacial area are increased by the hollow MoSe2/CuS core–shell structure. The broad absorption ability of MoSe2/CuS can facilitate the photocatalysis process. As the electrochemical impedance of MoSe2/CuS is lower than that of the MoSe2, MoSe2/CuS has a good photogenerated carrier separation efficiency. Benefiting from the synergistic facilitation effect of the multi-level 3D hollow nanosphere and the significant space charge region in type-II heterojunction, the RhB degradation efficiency of MoSe2/CuS reached 96.0% in 120.0 min under Xe (350 W) broadband spectrum light irradiation.

These are related by Laplace transform to the sum of exponential functions, stretched exponentials, Becquerel’s decay function, and others. However, the limitations of this approach have not been sufficiently discussed in the literature. In particular, the time-independent probability distributions of the rate constants or decay times are occasionally used to describe bimolecular quenching. We show that in such a case, this mathematical formalism has a clear physical interpretation only when the fluorophore and quencher molecules are immobile, as in the solid state. However, such an interpretation is no longer possible once we consider the motion of fluorophores with respect to quenchers. Therefore, for systems in which the relative motion of fluorophores and quenchers cannot be neglected, it is not appropriate to use the time-independent rate or decay time distributions to describe, fit, or rationalize experimental results on fluorescence decay.","PeriodicalId":501648,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Chemical Physics","volume":"26 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142260511","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}

We examine three different IF approaches: one based on the Kadanoff–Baym contour targeting correlation functions at all times, one based on a complex contour targeting the correlation function at a single time, and a steady state formulation, which avoids imaginary or complex times, while providing access to correlation functions at all times.
