Abstract
The fast growth of electrochemical energy storage (EES) systems necessitates using innovative, high-performance electrode materials. Among the various EES devices, rechargeable batteries (RBs) with potential features like high energy density and extensive lifetime are well suited to meet rapidly increasing energy demands. Layered transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), typical two dimensional (2D) nanomaterial, are considered auspicious materials for RBs because of their layered structures and large specific surface areas (SSA) that benefit quick ion transportation. This review summarizes and highlights recent advances in TMDs with improved performance for various RBs. Through novel engineering and functionalization used for high-performance RBs, we briefly discuss the properties, characterizations, and electrochemistry phenomena of TMDs. We summarised that engineering with multiple techniques, like nanocomposites used for TMDs receives special attention. In conclusion, the recent issues and promising upcoming research openings for developing TMDs-based electrodes for RBs are discussed.

Abstract
By developing next-generation lithium-ion batteries (LIBS), demand for exploring novel anode materials with exclusive electrochemical features and ultra-high capacity is increasing. In the current research, first-principles theory, and density functional theory (DFT) calculations were conducted to extensively investigate and compare the capability of three different borophene nanolayers, including striped, β12, and χ3 borophene, as a novel candidate for anode electrode in LIBs. We first predicted the most preferential Li atom adsorption sites on the three borophene structures. The predicted average formation energies for striped, β12, and χ3 borophene were obtained 3.123, 3.184, and 3.216 eV, respectively. The positive value of formation energy exhibits the sufficient stability of the structures. Moreover, the negative adsorption energy proved that Li atom insertion on all borophene monolayers is thermodynamically favorable. In order to simulate the lithiation process, we gradually increased the concentration of Li atoms. We found that the fully lithiated striped, β12 and χ3 borophenes could provide ultra-high specific capacities of 1700, 1983, and 1859 mAh/g, respectively. Structural analysis proved that the surface area expansion rate of the striped borophene in a fully lithiated state was 1%, which was lower than those of β12 and χ3 borophene with 3.33% and 2.63%, respectively. The analyses of electronic properties confirmed that borophenes were inherently metallic and superior ion conductive agents, even after fully lithiated state. Ion diffusion was studied using Nudged elastic band method and the value of diffusion energy barrier ranged from 0.03 to 0.36 eV which was lower than other promising 2D anode materials. Furthermore, open-circuit voltage results demonstrated that the electronic potential of modeled borophenes was low enough to be in the acceptable range of under 1.2V. All these reports exhibited that borophene nanolayers with excellent specific capacity and superior conductivity were desired candidates for anode materials of next generation LIBs.

Abstract
Nanoribbons with different edge functionalization display interesting electronic properties for various device applications. It requires the necessity of exploring the novel passivating elements commensurate to various technological applications. In this direction, here we have compared the effect of H and F-passivation on the edges of zigzag SiC nanoribbons (ZSiCNR) using density functional theory based calculations. Remarkably, present study reveals that F could be used as an effective passivating element for ZSiCNR similar to widely explored H-passivations. Various possible combinations of F/H are found to have stable structural integrity for practical applications. The effect of F-adatom adsorption is also discussed which present peculiar electronic properties. The half-metallic behavior is observed to be realized via F-adsoprtion which is further confirmed with the transport calculations. The obtained negative differential resistance along the spin dependent electron transport pledges towards wide spread applications of considered ZSiCNR interacting with F.

Abstract
CONTEXT In recent years, undivided attention has been given to the unique properties of layered nitrogenated holey graphene (C2N) monolayers (C2NMLs), which have widespread applications (e.g., in catalysis and metal-ion batteries). Nevertheless, the scarcity and impurity of C2NMLs in experiments and the ineffective technique of adsorbing a single atom on the surface of C2NMLs have significantly limited their investigation and thus their development. Within this research study, we proposed a novel model, i.e., atom pair adsorption, to inspect the potential use of a C2NML anode material for KIBs through first-principles (DFT) computations. The maximum theoretical capacity of K ions reached 2397 mA h g-1, which was greater in contrast with that of graphite. The results of Bader charge analysis and charge density difference revealed the creation of channels between K atoms and the C2NML for electron transport, which increased the interactions between them. The fast process of charge and discharge in the battery was due to the metallicity of the complex of C2NML/K ions and because the diffusion barrier of K ions on the C2NML was low. Moreover, the C2NML has the advantages of great cycling stability and low open-circuit voltage (approximately 0.423 V). The current work can provide useful insights into the design of energy storage materials with high efficiency. METHODS In this research, we used B3LYP-D3 functional and 6-31 + G* basis with GAMESS program to calculate adsorption energy, open-circuit voltage, and maximum theoretical capacity of K ions on the C2NML.

Abstract
Rechargeable magnesium batteries (RMBs) are promising candidates to replace currently commercialized lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) in large-scale energy storage applications owing to their merits of abundant resources, low cost, high theoretical volumetric capacity, etc. However, the development of RMBs is still facing great challenges including the incompatibility of the electrolyte and the lack of suitable cathode materials with high reversible capacity and fast kinetics of Mg2+ . While tremendous efforts have been made to explore compatible electrolytes and appropriate electrode materials, the rational design of unconventional Mg-based battery systems is another effective strategy for achieving high electrochemical performance. This review specifically discusses the recent research progress of various Mg-based battery systems. First, the optimization of electrolyte and electrode materials for conventional RMBs is briefly discussed. Furthermore, various Mg-based battery systems, including Mg-chalcogen (S, Se, Te) batteries, Mg-halogen (Br2 , I2 ) batteries, hybrid-ion batteries, and Mg-based dual-ion batteries are systematically summarized. This review aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of different Mg-based battery systems, which can inspire latecomers to explore new strategies for the development of high-performance and practically available RMBs.

Abstract
Conductive gels are a special class of soft materials. They harness the 3D micro/nanostructures of gels with the electrical and optical properties of semiconductors, producing excellent novel attributes, like the formation of an intricate network of conducting micro/nanostructures that facilitates the easy movement of charge carriers. Conductive gels encompass interesting properties, like adhesion, porosity, swelling, and good mechanical properties compared to those of bulk conducting polymers. The porous structure of the gels allows the easy diffusion of ions and molecules and the swelling nature provides an effective interface between molecular chains and solution phases, whereas good mechanical properties enable their practical applications. Due to these excellent assets, conductive gels are promising candidates for applications like energy conversion and storage, sensors, medical and biodevices, actuators, superhydrophobic coatings, etc. Conductive gels offer promising applications, e.g., as soft sensors, energy storage, and wearable electronics. Hydrogels with ionic species have some potential in this area. However, they suffer from dehydration due to evaporation when exposed to the air which limits their applications and lifespan. In addition to conductive polymers and organic charge transfer complexes, there is another class of organic matter called "conductive gels" that are used in the organic nanoelectronics industry. The main features of this family of organic materials include controllable photoluminescence, use in photon upconversion technology, and storage of optical energy and its conversion into electricity. Various parameters change the electronic and optical behaviors of these materials, which can be changed by controlling some of the structural and chemical parameters of conductive gels, their electronic and optical behaviors depending on the applications. If the conjugated molecules with π bonds come together spontaneously, in a relative order, to form non-covalent bonds, they form a gel-like structure that has photoluminescence properties. The reason for this is the possibility of excitation of highest occupied molecular orbital level electrons of these molecules due to the collision of landing photons and their transfer to the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital level. This property can be used in various nanoelectronic applications such as field-effect organic transistors, organic solar cells, and sensors to detect explosives. In this paper, the general introduction of conductive or conjugated gels with π bonds is discussed and some of the physical issues surrounding electron excitation due to incident radiation and the mobility of charge carriers, the position, and role of conductive gels in each of these applications are discussed.

Abstract
In vehicles that require a lot of electricity, such as electric vehicles, it is necessary to use high-energy batteries. Among the developed batteries, the lithium-ion battery has shown better performance. This battery has an energy density of 10 equal to that of a lithium-ion battery and uses air oxygen as the active material of the cathode and anode like a lithium-ion battery made of lithium metal. The cathode used in these batteries must have special properties such as strong catalytic activity and high conductivity, and nanotechnology has greatly helped to improve the materials used in the cathode of lithium-air batteries. The importance of proper catalyst distribution and the relationship between the oxide product and the catalyst and the indirect effect of the ORR catalyst on the OER reaction is not present in the fuel cell. The maximum capacity of lithium-air battery theory using graphene under optimal electron conduction conditions and the experimental maximum obtained for graphene by optimizing the structure geometry, examples of structural engineering using carbon fiber and carbon nanotubes in cathode fabrication with the ability to perform the reaction properly while providing space for lithium oxide placement, are examined. This article describes the mechanism of this battery, and its components are examined. The challenges of using this battery and the application of nanotechnology to solve these challenges are also discussed.

Abstract
Two novel quinone derivatives (NN3 and NN4) were synthesized in this work and they were characterized to be used as small organic semiconductor molecules in different types of photovoltaic applications. To make accessible compounds, three simple steps were followed to prepare NN3 and NN4 compounds. Furthermore, energy levels of the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) were determined for the computationally optimized models of the investigated compounds. The obtained optical and electrochemical results of this work indicated that NN3 and NN4 compounds were good candidates for application in the fields of bulk heterojunction (BHJ) and perovskite solar cells. Indeed, investigating new energy resources has been seen an important topic of research for producing clean energies and portable storage systems.

Abstract
Photosensitization of fucoxanthin-graphene (FX-GR) complexes were investigated in this work for detecting their roles of irradiating energy absorptions. To this aim, density functional theory (DFT computational approach as employed to obtain the optimized structures and their corresponding molecular orbital features. Both of original linear models of FX and its broken models, LFX and RFX, were investigated for attaching to a brigading GR molecular model. In this regard, the models were optimized to obtain the minimized energy configurations, in which for double-attachment of FG to the GR coroner atoms, Cis and Trans configurations were obtained for the FX-GR complex models. Based on the obtained achievements of molecular orbitals photosensitization features, the models were varied by the absorbed wavelengths making them suitable for various applications. In this regard, both of shorter and longer irradiated wavelengths were applicable for the purpose.
