Using the second-order Møller–Plesset perturbation (MP2) theoretic method and the cc-pVDZ basis set, it is shown that with an increase in the number of carbon atoms substituted by silicon, the [6]-prismane structure becomes increasingly more stable, relative to the two isolated benzene (like) structures. A similar trend is observed for germanium substituted prismanes as well. Extending this investigation, the stability of benzene-capped fullerene (C60 fused with benzene) is also investigated.

The smallest member of this hydrocarbon family was proposed by Ladenburg in 1869 as structure for benzene, and more than a century ago, the existence of triprimane became part of a discussion about cage compounds. Formally these cage compounds consist of an even number of methine units positioned at the corners of a regular prism. It's very high symmetry and their complex structure makes them not only difficult to preparate, but also highly strained. The conservation of orbital symmetry, publicised by Woodward and Hoffmann, is the most important facet about the durableness of triprismane and its thermodynamic stability. In 1965 Woodward won the nobel prize of chemistry for these rules. Seite 1 von 9 1.)

Conventionally, carbon has been the choice of material for the electrodes due to its low cost, low contact resistance and high specific surface area, electronic conductivity, and ion mobility within pores. The ions in the water are stored at the pore wallsofthese electrodes in an electrical double layer. However, alternative electrode materials, with a different mechanism for ion and charge storage, referred to as ion inter- calation, have been fabricated and studied as well. The salt adsorption performance exhibited by these materials is in most cases higher than that of carbon electrodes. This work traces the evolution of the study of redox activity in these intercalation materials and provides a chronological description of major devel- opments in the field of Capacitive Deionization (CDI) with intercalation electrodes.

From the STM images, we show that Sn atoms are intercalated into TiS2 layers. The electronic structure exhibits electron Fermi pockets around M points and characteristic band dispersions around the M and K points after Sn intercalation. The DFT calculations reveal the geometrical site of intercalated Sn atom, which is surrounded by six sulfur atoms with D3d symmetry. The calculated electronic band structures are in good agreement with the experimental band structure. *Corresponding author: Junji Yuhara ([email protected]) #The present affiliation of Lap Hong Chan is National Chung Hsing University, Taichung 40227, Taiwan. 1 Introduction

Publication Date 2016 Peer reviewed|Thesis/dissertation eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Electrochemical Performance of Titanium Disulfide and Molybdenum Disulfide Nanoplatelets A thesis submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements of the degree Master of Science in Materials Science and Engineering by Andrew Francisco Siordia 2016 ABSTRACT OF THESIS Electrochemical Performance of Titanium Disulfide and Molybdenum Disulfide Nanoplatelets by Andrew Francisco Siordia Master of Science in Materials Science and Engineering University of California, Los Angeles, 2016 Professor Bruce S. Dunn, Chair Single layer crystalline materials, often termed two-dimension (2D) materials, have quickly become a popular topic of research interest due to their extraordinary properties. The intrinsic electrical, mechanical, and optical properties of graphene were found to be remarkably distinct from graphite, its bulk counterpart. In conjunction with newfound processing techniques, there is renewed interest in elucidating the structure-property relationships of other 2D materials ii like the transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs). The energy storage capability of 2D nanoplatelets of TiS2 and MoS2 are studied here providing a contrast with investigations of corresponding bulk materials in the early 1970s. TiS2 was synthesized into nanoplatelets using a hot injection route which provided a capacity of ~143mAhg-1 from thin film electrodes as determined by cyclic voltammetry measurements. Phase identification using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy to complement the electrochemical performance and impurity identification is presented.
