In spite of a potential hydrogen storage material, ammonia borane (AB) was recently found to be a good hydrogenation reagent. It can reduce certain ketones to alcohols or borate esters, and imines to amines. The mechanisms of these reactions are not fully understood yet, and have been systematically studied using high…

By applying non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulation, it is demonstrated that the thermal conductivity of the reported Si/Ge core-shell nanowires (NWs) can be further reduced by shell doping. The thermal conductivity of Si/Ge0.6Si0.4 core-shell NWs is only about 66% of that of Si/Ge core-shell NWs. By analyzing t…
