Abstract
Through utilizing density functional theory (DFT), the current work investigates the potential uses of Al24P24 fullerene for detecting CS2, H2S, SO2, and COS. The interaction order for the stability of these gases was SO2 > H2S > COS > CS2. The moment of electric dipole and molecules' adsorption energy seems correlated. Al24P24 fullerene is regarded as an electronic sensor of the Ф-type for detecting SO2 and CS2. According to the findings, CS2 and SO2 might act as Al24P24 fullerenes when H2S is present. Nevertheless, we cannot presume it to be a COS and H2S sensor of Ф-type. At room temperature, the fullerene of Al24P24 has a quick recovery time of 0.50 μs and 0.17 s in CS2 and SO2 desorption from the surface. It can thus be inferred that it has the ability to function in moist media.

Abstract
In the present work, a modern method of crystal structure prediction, namely USPEX conjugated with density functional theory (DFT) calculations, was used to predict the new stable structures of B n P n (n = 12, 24) clusters. Since B12N12 and B24N24 fullerenes have been synthesized experimentally, it motivated us to explore the structural prediction of B12P12 and B24P24 clusters. All new structures were predicted to be energetically favorable with negative binding energy in the range from -4.7 to -4.8 eV per atom, suggesting good experimental feasibility for the synthesis of these structures. Our search for the most stable structure of B n P n clusters led us to classify the predicted structures into two completely distinct structures such as α-B n P n and β-B n P n phases. In α-B n P n , each phosphorus atom is doped into a boron atom, whereas B atoms form a B n unit. On the other hand, each boron atom in the β-phase was bonded to a phosphorus atom to make a fullerene-like cage structure. Besides, theoretical simulations determined that α-B n P n structures, especially α-B24P24, show superior oxidation resistance and also, both α-B n P n and β-B n P n exhibit better thermal stability; the upper limit temperature that structures can tolerance is 900 K. The electronic properties of new compounds illustrate a higher degree of absorption in the UV and visible-region with the absorption coefficient larger than 105 cm-1, which suggests a wide range of opportunities for advanced optoelectronic applications. The β-B n P n phase has suitable band alignments in the visible-light excitation region, which will produce enhanced photocatalytic activities. On the other hand, α-B n P n structures with modest band gap exhibit large second hyperpolarizability, which are anticipated to have excellent potential as second-order non-linear optical (NLO) materials.

Abstract
The applicability of C44, B22N22, Ge44, and Al22P22 nanocages, as well as variants of those nanocages with an adsorbed halogen atom, as high-performance anode materials in Li-ion, Na-ion, and K-ion batteries was investigated theoretically via density functional theory. The results obtained indicate that, among the nanocages with no adsorbed halogen atom, Al22P22 would be the best candidate for a novel anode material for use in metal-ion batteries. Calculations also suggest that K-ion batteries which utilize these nanocages as anode materials would give better performance and would yield higher cell voltages than the corresponding Li-ion and Na-ion batteries with nanocage-based anodes. Also, the results for the nanocages with an adsorbed halogen atom imply that employing them as anode materials would lead to higher cell voltages and better metal-ion battery performance than if the nanocages with no adsorbed halogen atom were to be used as anode materials instead. Results further implied that nanocages with an adsorbed F atom would give higher cell voltages and better battery performance than nanocages with an adsorbed Cl or Br atom. We were ultimately able to conclude that a K-ion battery that utilized Al21P22 with an adsorbed F atom as its anode material would afford the best metal-ion battery performance; we therefore propose this as a novel highly efficient metal-ion battery. Graphical abstract The results of a theoretical investigation indicated that Al22P22 is a better candidate for a high-performance anode material in metal-ion batteries than Ge44 is. Calculations also showed that K-ion batteries with nanocage-based anodes would produce higher cell voltages and perform better than the equivalent Li-ion and Na-ion batteries with nanocage-based anodes, and that anodes based on nanocages with an adsorbed F atom would perform better than anodes based on nanocages with an adsorbed Cl or Br atom.

Abstract
Searching for materials and technologies of efficient CO2 capture is of the utmost importance to reduce the CO2 impact on the environment. Therefore, the (AlN)n clusters (n = 3-5) are researched using density functional theoretical calculations. The results of the optimization show that the most stable structures of (AlN)n clusters all display planar configurations at B3LYP and G3B3 methods, which are consistent with the reported results. For these planar clusters, we further systematically studied their interactions with carbon dioxide molecules to understand their adsorption behavior at the B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p) level, including geometric optimization, binding energy, bond index, and electrostatic. We found that the planar structures of (AlN)n (n = 3-5) can capture 3-5 CO2 molecules. The result indicates that (AlN)n (n = 3-5) clusters binding with CO2 is an exothermic process (the capture of every CO2 molecule on (AlN)n clusters releases at least 30 kcal mol-1 in relative free energy values). These analysis results are expected to further motivate the applications of clusters to be efficient CO2 capture materials.

Abstract
It has been recently indicated that the Li-ion batteries may be replaced by Na-ion batteries because of their low safety, high cost, and low-temperature performance, and lack of the Li mineral reserves. Here, using density functional theory calculations, we studied the potential application of B12N12 nanoclusters as anode in Na-ion batteries. Our calculations indicate that the adsorption energy of Na+ and Na are about -23.4 and -1.4kcal/mol, respectively, and the pristine BN cage to improve suffers from a low cell voltage (∼0.92V) as an anode in Na-ion batteries. We presented a strategy to increase the cell voltage and performance of Na-ion batteries. We showed that encapsulation of different halides (X=F-, Cl-, or Br-) into BN cage significantly increases the cell voltage. By increasing the atomic number of X, the Gibbs free energy change of cell becomes more negative and the cell voltage is increased up to 3.93V. The results are discussed based on the structural, energetic, frontier molecular orbital, charge transfer and electronic properties and compared with the performance of other nanostructured anodes.
