Abstract
Density functional theory (DFT) and kinetic Monte-Carlo (kMC) simulation code has been combinedly used to study the adsorption and evolution dynamics of hydrogen molecules over a hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) monolayer. Maximum adsorption energy from van der Waals curve is predicted to be around 60 to 70 meV using two different DFT functionals. Repulsive lateral interaction between two hydrogen molecules plays a key role in determining the maximum number of adsorptions inside one unit cell of h-BN. The input energy parameters from the DFT calculation has been used to perform the kMC simulation for describing the adsorption, desorption and the diffusion pattern of hydrogen molecules with a given time of exposure to an empty h-BN substrate along with the overall surface coverage.
期刊介绍:
ACS Applied Bio Materials is an interdisciplinary journal publishing original research covering all aspects of biomaterials and biointerfaces including and beyond the traditional biosensing, biomedical and therapeutic applications.
The journal is devoted to reports of new and original experimental and theoretical research of an applied nature that integrates knowledge in the areas of materials, engineering, physics, bioscience, and chemistry into important bio applications. The journal is specifically interested in work that addresses the relationship between structure and function and assesses the stability and degradation of materials under relevant environmental and biological conditions.
