Abstract
Based on theoretical calculation and experimental detection, SnO2-modified graphene (SnO2-graphene) was proposed as a gas-sensing material for the SF6 characteristic decomposition products (SO2, H2S, SOF2, SO2F2) in SF6-insulated equipment. Based on density functional theory calculations, the most stable modifying structure of single and double SnO2 on the surface of graphene is optimized. The adsorption structure, adsorption energy, and charge transfer of four gas molecules on the surface of SnO2-graphene are calculated and analyzed. Then the total density of states (DOS) and partial density of states (PDOS) of the system before and after gas adsorption were compared and analyzed to explore the interaction mechanism between different gases and SnO2-graphene. In experimental study, graphene was prepared by the modified Hummers oxidation–reduction method in the laboratory. four concentration gradients of SnO2 modified on the surface of graphene, and then specific gas sensing experiments were carried out with 10, 25, 50, 100 ppm of the SF6 characteristic decomposition products. The gap between simulation and experiment is compared and analyzed, which lays a theoretical and experimental foundation for the development of new specific sensors.
期刊介绍:
Surface Science is devoted to elucidating the fundamental aspects of chemistry and physics occurring at a wide range of surfaces and interfaces and to disseminating this knowledge fast. The journal welcomes a broad spectrum of topics, including but not limited to:
• model systems (e.g. in Ultra High Vacuum) under well-controlled reactive conditions
• nanoscale science and engineering, including manipulation of matter at the atomic/molecular scale and assembly phenomena
• reactivity of surfaces as related to various applied areas including heterogeneous catalysis, chemistry at electrified interfaces, and semiconductors functionalization
• phenomena at interfaces relevant to energy storage and conversion, and fuels production and utilization
• surface reactivity for environmental protection and pollution remediation
• interactions at surfaces of soft matter, including polymers and biomaterials.
Both experimental and theoretical work, including modeling, is within the scope of the journal. Work published in Surface Science reaches a wide readership, from chemistry and physics to biology and materials science and engineering, providing an excellent forum for cross-fertilization of ideas and broad dissemination of scientific discoveries.
