The catalytic oxidation of CO molecule on a thermodynamically stable Cu4 cluster doped MoS2 monolayer is investigated by density functional theory (DFT) where the reaction proceeds in a new formation order of COOOCO* (O2* + 2CO* → COOOCO*), OCO* (COOOCO* → CO2 + OCO*), and CO2 (OCO* → CO2) desorption with the corresponding reaction barrier values of 0.220 eV, 0.370 eV and 0.119 eV, respectively. Therein, the rate-determining step is the second one. This low barrier indicates high activity of thi ...[more]
