In this study, a novel type oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) electrocatalyst is explored using density functional theory (DFT); the catalyst consists of transition metal M and heteroatom N4 co-doped in vacancy fullerene (M–N4–C64, M = Fe, Co, and Ni).

We present a recyclable SERS-based immunoassay for CA19-9 with a low detection limit of 5 U mL−1. The linking between TiO2-NTs and 4MBA was destroyed by catalyzing 4MBA into 4-sulfobenzoate upon UV irradiation, which was clarified by UPLC/ESI-tqMS and density functional theory.

Structures, binding energies, magnetic and electronic properties endohedrally doped C 20 fullerenes by metallic atoms ( Fe , Co , Ti and V ) have been obtained by pseudopotential density functional theory. All M @ C 20, except Co @ C 20, are more stable than the undoped C 20 cage. The magnetic moment values are 1 and 2μB. These values and semiconductor behavior give to these compounds interesting feature in several technological applications. Titanium doped C 20 has a same magnetic moment than the isolated Ti atom. Hybridization process in the Co doped C 20 fullerene is most strong than in other doped cages. Electrical and magnetic dipoles calculated in the iron doped C 20 are very strong compared with other clusters.

First-principle ultrasoft pseudo potential approach of the plane wave based on density functional theory (DFT) has been used for studying the electronic characterization and optical properties of ZnO and Fe, Co doped ZnO. The results show that the doping impurities change the lattice parameters a little, but bring more changes in the electronic structures. The band gaps are broadened by doping, and the Fermi level accesses to the conduction band which will lead the system to show the character of metallic properties. The dielectric function and absorption peaks are identified and the changes compared to pure ZnO are analyzed in detail.

Bandgap tailoring of [Formula: see text]-Si3N4 is performed by single and co-doping by using density functional theory (DFT) of PBE functional and plane-wave pseudopotential method. The results reveal that a direct bandgap transfers into an indirect one when single-doped with As element. Also, a considerate decrease of bandgap to 0.221 eV and 0.315 eV is present for Al–P and As–P co-doped systems, respectively, exhibiting a representative semiconductor property that is characteristic for a narrower bandgap. Compared with other doped systems, Al-doped system with formation energy of 2.67 eV is present for a more stable structure. From charge density difference (CDD) maps, it is found that the blue area between co-doped atoms increases, illustrating an enhancement of covalent property for Al–P and Al–As bonds. Moreover, a slightly obvious “Blue shift” phenomenon can be obtained in Al, Al–P and Al–As doped systems, indicating an enhanced capacity of responses to light, which contributes to the insight for broader applications with regard to photoelectric devices.
