First-principles investigation of adsorption behaviors of small molecules on penta-graphene.

ABSTRACT: The gas-adsorption behaviors of small molecules CO, H2O, H2S, NH3, SO2, and NO on pristine penta-graphene (PG) were investigated using first-principles calculations to explore their potential for use as advanced gas-sensing materials. Results show that, except for CO, H2O, H2S, NH3, and SO2 are physically adsorbed on the surface of penta-graphene with considerable adsorption energy and moderate charge transfer, while NO is prone to be chemically adsorbed on the surface of penta-graphene. Moreover, the electronic properties of PG can be effectively modified after H2O, H2S, NH3, SO2, and NO are adsorbed, and penta-graphene has potential for using in gas sensors via the charge-transfer mechanism.

First-Principles Investigation of Adsorption and Diffusion of Ions on Pristine, Defective and B-doped Graphene.

Project description:We performed first-principles calculations to reveal the possibility of applying pristine, defective, and B-doped graphene in feasible negative electrode materials of ion batteries. It is found that the barriers for ions are too high to diffuse through the original graphene, however the reduced barriers are obtained by introducing defects (single vacancy, double vacancy, Stone-Wales defect) in the graphene. Among the three types of defects, the systems with a double vacancy could provide the lowest barriers of 1.49 and 6.08 eV for Li and Na, respectively. Furthermore, for all kinds of B-doped graphene with the vacancy, the systems with a double vacancy could also provide the lowest adsorption energies and diffusion barriers. Therefore, undoped and B-doped graphene with a double vacancy turn out to be the most promising candidates that can replace pristine graphene for anode materials in ion batteries.

First-Principles Investigation of the Adsorption Behaviors of CH?O on BN, AlN, GaN, InN, BP, and P Monolayers.

Project description:CH?O is a common toxic gas molecule that can cause asthma and dermatitis in humans. In this study the adsorption behaviors of the CH?O adsorbed on the boron nitride (BN), aluminum nitride (AlN), gallium nitride (GaN), indium nitride (InN), boron phosphide (BP), and phosphorus (P) monolayers were investigated using the first-principles method, and potential materials that could be used for detecting CH?O were identified. The gas adsorption energies, charge transfers and electronic properties of the gas adsorption systems have been calculated to study the gas adsorption behaviors of CH?O on these single-layer materials. The electronic characteristics of these materials, except for the BP monolayer, were observed to change after CH?O adsorption. For CH?O on the BN, GaN, BP, and P surfaces, the gas adsorption behaviors were considered to follow a physical trend, whereas CH?O was chemically adsorbed on the AlN and InN monolayers. Given their large gas adsorption energies and high charge transfers, the AlN, GaN, and InN monolayers are potential materials for CH?O detection using the charge transfer mechanism.

First-principles study of sodium adsorption on defective graphene under propylene carbonate electrolyte conditions.

Project description:Hard carbon (HC) has been predominantly used as a typical anode material of sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) but its sodiation mechanism has been debated. In this work, we investigate the adsorption of Na atoms on defective graphene under propylene carbonate (PC) and water solvent as well as vacuum conditions to clarify the sodiation mechanism of HC. Within the joint density functional theory framework, we use the nonlinear polarizable continuum model for PC and the charge-asymmetric nonlocally-determined local electric solvation model for water. Our calculations reveal that the centre of each point defect such as mono-vacancy (MV), di-vacancy (DV) and Stone-Wales is a preferable adsorption site and the electrolyte enhances the Na adsorption through implicit interaction. Furthermore, we calculate the formation energies of multiple Na atom arrangements on the defective graphene and estimate the electrode potential versus Na/Na+, verifying that the multiple Na adsorption on the MV and DV defective graphene under the PC electrolyte conditions is related to the slope region of the discharge curve in HC. This reveals new prospects for optimizing anodes and electrolytes for high performance SIBs.

First-Principles Investigation of Adsorption Behaviors and Electronic, Optical, and Gas-Sensing Properties of Pure and Pd-Decorated GeS2 Monolayers.

Project description:The extensive applications of two-dimensional (2D) transition metal disulfides in gas sensing prompt us to explore the adsorption, electronic, optical, and gas-sensing properties of the pure and Pd-decorated GeS2 monolayers interacting with NO2, NO, CO2, CO, SO2, NH3, H2S, HCN, HF, CH4, N2, and H2 gases by using first-principles methods. Our results showed that the pure GeS2 monolayer is not appropriate to develop gas sensors. The stability of the Pd-decorated GeS2 (Pd-GeS2) monolayer was determined by binding energy, transition state theory, and molecular dynamics simulations, and the Pd decoration has a significant effect on adsorption strength and the change in electronic properties (especially electrical conductivity). The Pd-GeS2 monolayer-based sensor has relatively high sensitivity toward NO and NO2 gases with moderate recovery time. In addition, the adsorption of NO and NO2 can conspicuously change the optical properties of the Pd-GeS2 monolayer. Therefore, the Pd-GeS2 monolayer is predicted to be reusable and a highly sensitive (optical) gas sensing material for the detection of NO and NO2.

Investigation on Adsorption of Polar Molecules in Vegetable Insulating Oil by Functional Fossil Graphene.

Project description:As a new engineering dielectric, vegetable insulating oil is widely used in electrical equipment. Small polar molecules such as alcohol and acid will be produced during the oil-immersed electrical equipment operation, which seriously affects the safety of equipment. The polar molecule can be removed by using functional fossil graphene materials. However, the structural design and group modification of graphene materials lack a theoretical basis. Therefore, in this paper, molecular dynamics (MD) and quantum mechanics theory (Dmol3) were utilized to study the adsorption kinetics and mechanism of graphene (GE), porous graphene (PGE), porous hydroxy graphene (HPGE), and porous graphene modified by hydroxyl and carboxyl groups (COOH-HPGE) on polar small molecules in vegetable oil. The results show that graphene-based materials can effectively adsorb polar small molecules in vegetable oil, and that the modification of graphene materials with carboxyl and hydroxyl groups improves their adsorption ability for polar small molecules, which is attributed to the conversion of physical adsorption to chemical adsorption by the modification of oxygen-containing groups. This study provides a theoretical basis for the design and preparation of graphene materials with high adsorption properties.

Formaldehyde Molecules Adsorption on Zn Doped Monolayer MoS2: A First-Principles Calculation.

Project description:Based on the first principles of density functional theory, the adsorption behavior of H2CO on original monolayer MoS2 and Zn doped monolayer MoS2 was studied. The results show that the adsorption of H2CO on the original monolayer MoS2 is very weak, and the electronic structure of the substrate changes little after adsorption. A new kind of surface single cluster catalyst was formed after Zn doped monolayer MoS2, where the ZnMo3 small clusters made the surface have high selectivity. The adsorption behavior of H2CO on Zn doped monolayer MoS2 can be divided into two situations. When the H-end of H2CO molecule in the adsorption structure is downward, the adsorption energy is only 0.11 and 0.15 eV and the electronic structure of adsorbed substrate changes smaller. When the O-end of H2CO molecule is downward, the interaction between H2CO and the doped MoS2 is strong leading to the chemical adsorption with the adsorption energy of 0.80 and 0.98 eV. For the O-end-down structure, the adsorption obviously introduces new impurity states into the band gap or results in the redistribution of the original impurity states. All of these may lead to the change of the chemical properties of the doped MoS2 monolayer, which can be used to detect the adsorbed H2CO molecules. The results show that the introduction of appropriate dopant may be a feasible method to improve the performance of MoS2 gas sensor.

Adsorption Characteristics of Gas Molecules Adsorbed on Graphene Doped with Mn: A First Principle Study.

Project description:Herein, the adsorption characteristics of graphene substrates modified through a combined single manganese atom with a vacancy or four nitrogen to CH2O, H2S and HCN, are thoroughly investigated via the density functional theory (DFT) method. The adsorption structural, electronic structures, magnetic properties and adsorption energies of the adsorption system have been completely analyzed. It is found that the adsorption activity of a single vacancy graphene-embedded Mn atom (MnSV-GN) is the largest in the three graphene supports. The adsorption energies have a good correlation with the integrated projected crystal overlap Hamilton population (-IpCOHP) and Fermi softness. The rising height of the Mn atom and Fermi softness could well describe the adsorption activity of the Mn-modified graphene catalyst. Moreover, the projected crystal overlap Hamilton population (-pCOHP) curves were studied and they can be used as the descriptors of the magnetic field. These results can provide guidance for the development and design of graphene-based single-atom catalysts, especially for the support effect.

First-Principles Study of 3d Transition-Metal-Atom Adsorption onto Graphene Embedded with the Extended Line Defect.

Project description:A type of line defect (LD) composed of alternate squares and octagons (4-8) as the basic unit is currently an experimentally available topological defect in the graphene lattice, which brings some interesting modifications to the magnetic and electronic properties of graphene. The transitional-metal (TM) atoms adsorb on graphene with a line defect (4-8), and they show interesting and attractive structural, magnetic, and electronic properties. For different TMs such as Fe, Co, Mn, Ni, and V, the complex systems show different magnetic and electronic properties. The TM atoms can spontaneously adsorb at quadrangular sites, forming a metallic atomic chain along LD on graphene. The most stable configuration is the hollow site of a regular tangle. The TMs (TM = Co, Fe, Mn, Ni, V) tend to form extended metal lines, showing a ferromagnetic (FM) ground state. For the Co, Fe, and V atoms, the system is half-metal. The spin-α electron is insulating, while the spin-β electron is conductive. For the Mn and Ni atoms, Mn-LD and Ni-LD present a spin-polarized metal; for the Fe atom, Fe-LD shows a semimetal with Dirac cones. For Fe and V atoms, both Fe-LD and V-LD show spin-polarized half-metallic properties. And its spin-α electron is conducting, while the spin-β electron is insulating. Different TMs adsorbing on a graphene nanoribbon forming the same stable configurations of metal lines show different electronic properties. The adsorption of TMs induces magnetism and spin polarization. These metal lines have potential applications in spintronic devices and work as a quasi-one-dimensional metallic wire, which may form building blocks for atomic-scale electrons with well-controlled contacts at the atomic level.

Adsorption Affinities of Small Volatile Organic Molecules on Graphene Surfaces for Novel Nanofiller Design: A DFT Study.

Project description:The adsorption of organic molecules on graphene surfaces is a crucial process in many different research areas. Nano-sized carbon allotropes, such as graphene and carbon nanotubes, have shown promise as fillers due to their exceptional properties, including their large surface area, thermal and electrical conductivity, and potential for weight reduction. Surface modification methods, such as the "pyrrole methodology", have been explored to tailor the properties of carbon allotropes. In this theoretical work, an ab initio study based on Density Functional Theory is performed to investigate the adsorption process of small volatile organic molecules (such as pyrrole derivatives) on graphene surface. The effects of substituents, and different molecular species are examined to determine the influence of the aromatic ring or the substituent of pyrrole's aromatic ring on the adsorption energy. The number of atoms and presence of π electrons significantly influence the corresponding adsorption energy. Interestingly, pyrroles and cyclopentadienes are 10 kJ mol-1 more stable than the corresponding unsaturated ones. Pyrrole oxidized derivatives display more favorable supramolecular interactions with graphene surface. Intermolecular interactions affect the first step of the adsorption process and are important to better understand possible surface modifications for carbon allotropes and to design novel nanofillers in polymer composites.

A First Principles Study of H₂ Adsorption on LaNiO₃(001) Surfaces.

Project description:The adsorption of H₂ on LaNiO₃ was investigated using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The adsorption sites, adsorption energy, and electronic structure of LaNiO₃(001)/H₂ systems were calculated and indicated through the calculated surface energy that the (001) surface was the most stable surface. By looking at optimized structure, adsorption energy and dissociation energy, we found that there were three types of adsorption on the surface. First, H₂ molecules completely dissociate and then tend to bind with the O atoms, forming two -OH bonds. Second, H₂ molecules partially dissociate with the H atoms bonding to the same O atom to form one H₂O molecule. These two types are chemical adsorption modes; however, the physical adsorption of H₂ molecules can also occur. When analyzing the electron structure of the H₂O molecule formed by the partial dissociation of the H₂ molecule and the surface O atom, we found that the interaction between H₂O and the (001) surface was weaker, thus, H₂O was easier to separate from the surface to create an O vacancy. On the (001) surface, a supercell was constructed to accurately study the most stable adsorption site. The results from analyses of the charge population; electron localization function; and density of the states indicated that the dissociated H and O atoms form a typical covalent bond and that the interaction between the H₂ molecule and surface is mainly due to the overlap-hybridization among the H 1s, O 2s, and O 2p states. Therefore, the conductivity of LaNiO₃(001)/H₂ is stronger after adsorption and furthermore, the conductivity of the LaNiO₃ surface is better than that of the LaFeO₃ surface.
