“…Therefore, designing a TE material with high performance has always been a challenge. In recent years, low-dimensional materials have attracted wide attention due to their special physical, − chemical, − and interfacial properties. − It has been found that, compared to buck material, two-dimensional (2D) material usually has lower phonon thermal conductivity and larger Seebeck coefficients due to the quantum limiting effect . Some researches on the TE transport characteristics of many famous 2D systems have been done, such as 2D transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD), − graphene, black phosphorus, and MXenes .…”

Thermoelectric (TE) performance of the Janus ZrSSe monolayer under biaxial strain is systematically explored by the first-principles approach and Boltzmann transport theory. Our results show that the Janus ZrSSe monolayer has excellent chemical, dynamical, thermal, and mechanical stabilities, which provide a reliable platform for strain tuning. The electronic structure and TE transport parameters of the Janus ZrSSe monolayer can be obviously tuned by biaxial strain. Under 2% tensile strain, the optimal power factor PF of the n-type-doped Janus ZrSSe monolayer reaches 46.36 m W m–1 K–2 at 300 K. This value is higher than that of the most classical TE materials. Under 6% tensile strain, the maximum ZT values for the p-type- and n-type-doped Janus ZrSSe monolayers are 4.41 and 4.88, respectively, which are about 3.83 and 1.49 times the results of no strain, respectively. Such high TE performance can be attributed to high band degeneracy and short phonon relaxation time under strain, causing simultaneous increase of the Seebeck coefficient and suppression of the phonon thermal transport. Present work demonstrates that the Janus ZrSSe monolayer is a promising candidate as a strain-tunable TE material and stimulates further experimental synthesis.

“…Multiple strategies have been successfully used for the assembly of peptides, such as solvent-induced, sonication-assisted, ionic, vaporization-induced, coordination-assisted, and surfactant-assisted assembly, as well as organic or water gelation, etc. [ 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 ]. Surfactants change the solvent environment and modulate interactions with peptides due to their hydrophilic head group and hydrophobic tail groups.…”

Understanding the influence of surfactants on the assembly of peptides has a considerable practical motivation. In this paper, we systematically study the anionic surfactant-assisted assembly of diphenylalanine (FF). FF forms broom-like structures in a concentration of sodium cholate (NaC) around the CMC, and assembles into linear and unidirectional rods in the presence of low and high surfactant concentrations. FF’s improved hydrogen bonding and controlled assembly rates are appropriate for other anionic surfactants. At this stage, the use of FF as the simplest protein consequence can be helpful in the investigation of further protein–surfactant interactions.
