Abstract
The adsorption behaviors of β-lapachone drug molecules on the noble metal (Pd, Pt, Ag and Au) modified BSe nanosheets were investigated using the first principles method. The Pd, Pt, Ag and Au doped BSe substrates exhibit good geometric stability following their large formation energies. The conductivity has been substantially enhanced for BSe monolayers after the modification of surface by Pt and Au atoms, which are subsequently utilized for adsorption and delivery of drug molecules. The O atoms of the β-lapachone drug are the most favorable adsorption sites for reaction with Pt and Au modified BSe nanosheets. The negative adsorption energies verify the stability of adsorption configurations with optimized structures. The charge density difference, work functions and band structures are analyzed to gain insights into the drug delivery systems. Our theoretical results would provide effective basis for experimental design of β-lapachone drug delivery systems using the noble metal modified BSe nanosheets.
