Abstract
This study explores the adsorption properties of Li- and Na-decorated C24N24 nanocages and their interactions with SO2, SCO, H2S, CS2, HCHO, and CH4 gas molecules. The introduction of Li and Na atoms significantly enhances gas adsorption due to increased binding energies and modified electronic properties. The adsorption of SO2, SCO, H2S, CS2, HCHO, and CH4 on Li-and Na-decorated C24N24 demonstrates varying interaction strengths compared to pristine C24N24. The decorated nanocages exhibit altered electronic structures, with changes in energy gaps and charge transfer upon gas adsorption. Frontier molecular orbital analysis indicates improved reactivity, suggesting potential suitability for gas sensing applications. However, recovery times reveal limitations in sensing abilities for certain gases. The ΔG for all gases adsorbed on C24N24, Li- and Na-decorated C24N24 at 298.15 K and 1 atm are nonspontaneous, except for SO2 and HCHO on Li- and Na-decorated C24N24. The results demonstrate that Li- and Na-decorated C24N24 nanocages exhibit high sensitivity and fast desorption for SO2, highlighting their potential for practical gas sensing applications.
期刊介绍:
Since its first formulation quantum chemistry has provided the conceptual and terminological framework necessary to understand atoms, molecules and the condensed matter. Over the past decades synergistic advances in the methodological developments, software and hardware have transformed quantum chemistry in a truly interdisciplinary science that has expanded beyond its traditional core of molecular sciences to fields as diverse as chemistry and catalysis, biophysics, nanotechnology and material science.
