The interlayer coupling of twisted bilayer graphene could markedly affect its electronic band structure. A current challenge required to overcome in experiment is how to precisely control the coupling and therefore tune the electronic properties of the bilayer graphene. Here, we describe a facile method to modulate th…

Abstract It is believed that the dehydrogenation of LiNH 2 BH 3 (LAB) proceeds through a combination of the decomposition of the LiBH 2 NH 3 (LBA) and LAB isomers. The dehydrogenation of LBA, an isomer of LAB, is discussed in this article. It is demonstrated that the loss of H 2 from LBA takes place in a two‐step reac…
