Over the past few decades, two-dimensional graphene based materials (2DGMs) have
piqued the interest of scientists worldwide, and the exploration of their potential applications …

Graphene, a single atomic layer of graphite, has been the focus of recent intensive studies
due to its novel electronic and structural properties. Metals grown on graphene also have …

Using the dispersion-corrected density functional theory (DFT-D3) method, we
systematically studied the adsorption of 15 kinds of transition-metal (TM) clusters on pristine …

Graphene–metal interface as one of the interesting graphene-based objects attracts much
attention from both application and fundamental science points of view. This paper gives a …

Metal intercalation under graphene has attracted extensive experimental and theoretical
research because of its capability to manipulate the electronic structure and properties of …

Frustrated interactions can lead to short-range ordering arising from incompatible
interactions of fundamental physical quantities with the underlying lattice. The simplest …

We report the self-assembly of a monolayer metal–organic framework of Cu-benzenehexol
(BHO) on a graphene/SiC substrate assisted by in situ Cu-catalyzed deprotonation …

Upon adsorption onto epitaxial graphene on Ir (111) at room temperature, Cs adatoms
donate part of their charge to the substrate, which effectively creates mutually repelling …

Hydrogen production from electrocatalytic water splitting in electrolyzers is a key process to
store excess electric energy produced from intermittent renewable energy sources. For …

Exploiting the versatility of the graphene/Ir (111) template, we performed a comparative
study on arrays of various metallic nanoclusters. Using scanning tunneling microscopy and …
