    Abstract In this work, we observe the behavior of the dipole moment, atomic charges, solute-solvent interactions and NMR spectroscopy of aliphatic amino acids in a water solution via the computational simulations of classical molecular dynamics and DFT quantum calculations. Our results indicate that the convergence of the atomic charge of the solute, from an iterative process, together with the dipole moment of the amino acid, alters the lifetime of hydrogen bonds present in the first solvation shell, resulting in the modification of its structure and dynamics. Using GIAO-DFT-NMR calculations, we assessed the impact of these structural solute-solvent modifications on the magnetic shielding constants of the solute carbon atoms. In this sense, we evaluate the importance of an update in parameters that describe atomic charges present in the CHARMM36 force field.

    Abstract In this article, we employed concepts from Density Functional Theory to investigate the interaction energy behavior between the fragments of two-dimensional systems composed of graphene-based materials and lithium ions. Specifically, the proposed system consists of two graphene sheets separated by a controlled distance (face-to-face), with a lithium ion positioned at the center of this separation. Additionally, we examined potential electronic transitions within these systems and assessed the feasibility of quantum entanglement generation and manipulation. Our findings revealed that the interaction energies within the analyzed systems exhibited behavior akin to that described by the Lennard-Jones potential, which characterizes systems with favorable energy for their formation. The results further yielded estimates for the constants

    Abstract Development of efficient electrodes is one of the main ways to increase the performance of an electrochemical energy storage device. It is known that such performance is associated with the electrode specific area, which allows a much larger interfacial interaction with the electrolyte. In this work, molecular dynamics is employed to model C60/graphene composite electrodes that can expand the effective area by approximately 70% relative to a pure graphene electrode. Our simulations indicate that the performance of supercapacitors of C60/graphene electrodes is superior to those made of planar graphene, in some cases up to 150%. The inherent electrolyte asymmetry in the investigated supercapacitors has a negative effect on the total capacitance, indicating that even better results could be obtained after rational design of the fullerene density on the surface of the graphene as well as the choice of the ions in the liquid ionic composition.

    Abstract The development of green and biodegradable electrical components is one of the main fronts of research to overcome the growing ecological problem related to the issue of electronic waste. At the same time, such devices are highly desirable in biomedical applications such as integrated bioelectronics, for which biocompatibility is also required. Supercapacitors for storage of electrochemical energy, designed only with biodegradable organic matter would contemplate both aspects, that is, they would be ecologically harmless after their service lifetime and would be an important component for applications in biomedical engineering. By means of atomistic simulations of molecular dynamics, we propose a supercapacitor whose electrodes are formed exclusively by self-organizing peptides and whose electrolyte is a green amino acid ionic liquid. Our results indicate that this supercapacitor has a high potential for energy storage with superior performance than conventional supercapacitors. In particular its capacity to store energy was estimated to be almost 20 times greater than an analogue one of planar metallic electrodes.

    Abstract Surfactant-like peptide (SLP) based nanostructures are investigated using all-atomistic molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. We report structure properties of nanostructures belonging to the ANK peptide group. In particular, the mathematical models for the two A3K membranes, A6K nanotube, and A9K nanorod were developed. Our MD simulation results are consistent with the experimental data, indicating that A3K membranes are stable in two different configurations: (1) SLPs are tilted relative to the normal membrane plane; (2) SLPs are interdigitated. The former configuration is energetically more stable. The cylindrical nanostructures feature a certain order of the A6K peptides. In turn, the A9K nanorod does not exhibit any long-range ordering. Both nanotube and nanorod structure contain large amounts of water inside. Consequently, these nanostructures behave similar to hydrogels. This property may be important in the context of biotechnology. Binding energy analysis-in terms of Coulomb and van der Waals contributions-unveils an increase as the peptide size increases. The electrostatic interaction constitutes 70-75% of the noncovalent attraction energy between SLPs. The nanotubular structures are notably stable, confirming that A6K peptides preferentially form nanotubes and A9K peptides preferentially form nanorods.

    Abstract Stable all-boron fullerene B80 supplements a family of elemental cage molecules. These molecules may initiate a drastic rise to intriguing new chemistry. The principal stability of B80 was recently demonstrated using photoelectron spectroscopy. We report the systematic investigation of different aspects of B80 interactions with small gas molecules—such as carbon dioxide, molecular hydrogen, hydrogen sulfide, hydrogen fluoride, ammonia and sulfur dioxide—employing density functional theory. We found peculiar interactions between B80 and ammonia resulting in the formation of a weak boron–nitrogen covalent bond in one of their local-minimum configurations. Hydrogen fluoride maintains a weak hydrogen bond with B80. The boron fullerene was found to be strongly polarizable, with its electron density distribution changing significantly even in the presence of low-polar gases. The binding energies of the gas molecules to B80 are generally in direct proportion to their dipole moments. Valence bands are predominantly localized on B80. According to the present findings, one of the prospective applications of B80 in future may be gas capture and separation.
