    Mechanical, optical and thermoelectric properties of Janus BiTeCl monolayer
    (Elsevier Ltd, 2022-04-29T00:00:00) Chauhan, Poonam; Singh, Jaspreet; Kumar, Ashok
    We report mechanical, optical and thermoelectric properties of recently fabricated Janus BiTeCl monolayer using density functional and semi-classical Boltzmann transport theory. Janus BiTeCl monolayer exhibits a direct bandgap, high carrier mobility (?103 cm2V?1s?1) and high optical absorption in the UV�visible region. The mechanical behavior of the Janus BiTeCl monolayer is nearly isotropic having an ideal tensile strength ?15 GPa. The higher value of the Gruneisen parameter (?), a low value of phonon group velocity (vg), and very little phonon scattering time (?p) lead to low lattice thermal conductivity (1.46 W/mK) of Janus BiTeCl monolayer. The combined effect of thermal conductivity and electronic transport coefficients of Janus BiTeCl monolayer results in the figure of merit (ZT) in the range of 0.43�0.75 at 300�500 K. Our results suggest Janus BiTeCl monolayer be a potential candidate for optoelectronic and moderate temperature thermoelectric applications. � 2022

    Facile synthesis of alkyl- and arylboronate esters enabled by a carbon nanotube supported copper catalyst
    (Royal Society of Chemistry, 2022-11-15T00:00:00) Saini, Suresh; Gavali, Deepak S.; Bhawar, Ramesh; Thapa, Ranjit; Dhayal, Rajendra S.; Bose, Shubhankar Kumar
    An efficient synthesis of alkylboronate esters via alkyl halide borylation catalysed by copper nanoparticles stabilised on nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes (N-CNT) is reported. This nanocatalyst provides practical access to alkylboronate esters at room temperature in 1 h, with good functional group tolerance. The procedure is also applicable to the borylation of benzyl chlorides and bromides. Radical clock experiments suggest that the reaction involves a radical pathway. The catalyst can be recycled up to ten runs without appreciable loss in the activity. In addition, we demonstrated the use of this supported copper catalyst for the anti-Markovnikov-selective hydroboration of vinylarenes and borylation of aryl halides with B2pin2, providing alkyl- and arylboronate esters, respectively, in good to excellent yields. � 2023 The Royal Society of Chemistry.
