Abstract
In order to explore the applications of boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) in pollutant detection and removal, we perform two modified methods to functionalize BNNTs via Pd doping and Pd adsorption, and further investigate the adsorption interaction of these functionalized BNNTs towards highly toxic 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The results revealed that both Pd doping and Pd adsorption induce new impurity electronic states and improve the conductive performance of the BNNTs. However, the BNNT with Pd doping has notable distinctions in the DOS and spin DOSs compared to the BNNT with Pd adsorption, and particularly the former occurs spontaneous magnetization. These two functionalized BNNTs present the larger adsorption energy, clear electron density overlap and significant changes of DOSs towards TCDD with the respective electronic response signals compared with the pristine BNNT. These findings offer new possibilities to functionalize BNNTs via Pd doping or Pd adsorption to detect or remove dioxin.
