The demand for high-performance, affordable, and safe energy storage solutions is growing, driven in part by the incorporation of fluctuating electricity sources like wind turbines and solar cells in the electric grid. Batteries offer such a storage solution in both distributed systems such as...

Nanocomposites of a-Fe2O3 (hematite) and (N-doped) graphene oxide (GO) were investigated using first- principles calculations with focus on structure, chemical bonding, electronic structure and H₂O adsorption. The nanocomposites were modeled as the interface between the a-Fe2O3 (0 0 0 1) surface and...
