Formation Mechanism of BN Flakes on MWCNTs

open access: yesSmall, Volume 22, Issue 15, 12 March 2026.
This work presents a novel heterostructured h‐BN flake‐coating on multi‐wall carbon nanotubes synthesized via CVD. It details structural characterization supported by molecular dynamics simulations. The mechanism of BN flake formation, stress‐induced buckling, and van der Waals heterostructure design is discussed, highlighting applications in thermal ...

Single‐Atom Engineering for Next Generation Rechargeable Batteries

open access: yesSmall Structures, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2026.
Single‐atom engineering is an effective strategy for advancing rechargeable batteries by employing isolated single atoms (SAs) as active sites. This article examines how defects, spatial confinement, and coordination engineering influence the activity, stability, and charge–transfer behavior of SAs.

Curvature‐Programming Bending Rigidity in 2D Materials through Nano‐Architected Meta‐Atoms

open access: yesSmall Structures, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2026.
2D materials, such as graphene and hBN, exhibit ultra‐low bending stiffness due to their monoplanar nanostructural configuration, which limits the mechanical robustness for a range of engineering applications. We propose to enhance the bending stiffness by introducing programmed curvature in the geometry of 2D materials without any additional mass ...
