Solution-phase photochemistry of a [FeFe]hydrogenase model compound: evidence of photoinduced isomerisation.

TL;DR: The solution-phase photochemistry of the [FeFe] hydrogenase subsite model has been studied using ultrafast time-resolved infrared spectroscopy supported by density functional theory calculations, suggesting that facile interconversion of the ligand groups at the Fe center is possible in the unsaturated species.

Cathodic and anodic deposition of FeS2 thin films and their application in electrochemical reduction and amperometric sensing of H2O2

TL;DR: In this article, a comparative study has been made on the performance of electrochemical reduction and amperometric sensing of H2O2 by the cathodically and anodically deposited orthorhombic FeS2 thin films.

Investigation of the Ultrafast Dynamics Occurring during Unsensitized Photocatalytic H2 Evolution by an [FeFe]-Hydrogenase Subsite Analogue

TL;DR: In this paper, the photochemistry and vibrational relaxation dynamics of 1 with ground-state density functional theory (DFT) calculations were used to establish the molecular mechanism that leads to photohydrogen production by 1.

Ab initio study of ligand dissociation/exchange and the hydrogen production process of the Co(dmgH)2(py)Cl cobaloxime in the acetonitrile-water solvent

TL;DR: In this paper, density functional theory (DFT) calculations and Car-Parrinello molecular dynamics simulations in the explicit acetonitrile-water solvent were carried out to study the ligand dissociation/exchange process and hydrogen production pathway of a common cobaloxime complex, Co(dmgH)2(py)Cl (py = pyridine).

Electrochemical synthesis of FeS2 thin film: An effective material for peroxide sensing and terephthalic acid degradation

TL;DR: In this paper, a p-n junction was developed between FeS2 and ITO layer for the reduction of hydrogen peroxide and exhibited excellent electro-catalytic activity towards its sensing.

Self-Consistent Equations Including Exchange and Correlation Effects

TL;DR: In this paper, the Hartree and Hartree-Fock equations are applied to a uniform electron gas, where the exchange and correlation portions of the chemical potential of the gas are used as additional effective potentials.

QUANTUM ESPRESSO: a modular and open-source software project for quantum simulations of materials

TL;DR: QUANTUM ESPRESSO as discussed by the authors is an integrated suite of computer codes for electronic-structure calculations and materials modeling, based on density functional theory, plane waves, and pseudopotentials (norm-conserving, ultrasoft, and projector-augmented wave).
Journal ArticleDOI

Soft self-consistent pseudopotentials in a generalized eigenvalue formalism.

TL;DR: Novel features are that the pseudopotential itself becomes charge-state dependent, the usual norm-conservation constraint does not apply, and a generalized eigenproblem is introduced.

A climbing image nudged elastic band method for finding saddle points and minimum energy paths

TL;DR: In this article, a modification of the nudged elastic band method for finding minimum energy paths is presented, where one of the images is made to climb up along the elastic band to converge rigorously on the highest saddle point.
