Abstract
Perfluorohexanone (C6F12O) has been widely used in fire suppression systems for energy storage battery. However, toxic gases such as CO, CO2, HF, and COF2 produced during extinguishing process pose significant risks to human health and equipment safety, making it essential to monitor them. Recent studies show that metal-doped Transition Metal Dichalcogenides (TMDs) exhibit excellent gas adsorption properties, demonstrating great potential in gas sensing applications. To further explore this potential, Pd doped MoTe2 is selected in this paper, for which the doping process is simulated and the adsorption properties are systematically investigated. These configurations are analyzed using the Electron Localization Function (ELF), the Independent Gradient Model based on Hirshfeld partition (IGMH), and the Density of States (DOS). Finally, the gas sensing capabilities of Pd-MoTe2 are comprehensively evaluated to investigate its viability as a sensing material. The results reveal that Pd-MoTe2 exhibits strong adsorption for CO and COF2, with adsorption energies of -1.866 eV and -0.935 eV, respectively. Furthermore, the IGMH and ELF analyses confirm the existence of chemical bonding between the CO, COF2, and the Pd atoms. The DOS study further verifies the phenomenon of orbital hybridization. Additionally, the recovery time of Pd-MoTe2 requires high temperatures to release CO, but it is ideal for COF2, making it suitable for the adsorption of CO and the detection of COF₂. The results of this research can provide a theoretical foundation and data support for the application of Pd-MoTe2.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Fluorine Chemistry contains reviews, original papers and short communications. The journal covers all aspects of pure and applied research on the chemistry as well as on the applications of fluorine, and of compounds or materials where fluorine exercises significant effects. This can include all chemistry research areas (inorganic, organic, organometallic, macromolecular and physical chemistry) but also includes papers on biological/biochemical related aspects of Fluorine chemistry as well as medicinal, agrochemical and pharmacological research. The Journal of Fluorine Chemistry also publishes environmental and industrial papers dealing with aspects of Fluorine chemistry on energy and material sciences. Preparative and physico-chemical investigations as well as theoretical, structural and mechanistic aspects are covered. The Journal, however, does not accept work of purely routine nature.
For reviews and special issues on particular topics of fluorine chemistry or from selected symposia, please contact the Regional Editors for further details.
