Viewpoint: Atomic-Scale Design Protocols toward Energy, Electronic, Catalysis, and Sensing Applications
Nanostructured materials are essential building blocks for the fabrication of new devices for energy harvesting/storage, sensing, catalysis, magnetic, and optoelectronic applications. However, because of the increase of technological needs, it is essential to identify new functional materials and improve the properties of existing ones. The objective of this Viewpoint is to examine the state of the art of atomic-scale simulative and experimental protocols aimed to the design of novel functional nanostructured materials, and to present new perspectives in the relative fields. This is the result of the debates of Symposium I "Atomic-scale design protocols towards energy, electronic, catalysis…
Cyano-bridged perovskite [(CH3)3NOH]2[KM(CN)6],[M: Fe(III), Co(III)] for high-temperature multi-axial ferroelectric applications with enhanced thermal and nonlinear optical performance
Highly stable ferroelectrics with reversible high-temperature phase transitions and switchable nonlinear optical behaviour are much coveted targets for emerging optoelectronic applications. Here, we demonstrate a cyano-bridged perovskite [(CH3)3NOH]2[KCo(CN)6] (TMAO-Co), a new analogue of the multi-axial ferroelectric [(CH3)3NOH]2[KFe(CN)6] (TMAO-Fe) with improved thermal stability and enhanced second-order nonlinear optical response. Indeed, for TMAO-Co the Curie temperature (Tc) is shifted to a higher value of ca. 416 K (improvement by ca. 10 K versusTMAO-Fe); the separation between Tc and the decomposition threshold is 46 K. TMAO-Co is a biaxial ferroelectric as revealed by P(E) hysteres…
