Abstract

The adsorption properties of C₂H₄ gas molecules on Au_n/Ag_n/Cu_n (n = 1–3)-graphene (Gp) substrates were investigated theoretically based on density functional theory. The results show that the most stable loading sites on graphene for Au_n/Ag_n/Cu_n (n = 1–3, except for the Ag atom) clusters are the top sites, and the most stable loading site on graphene for the Ag atom is the bridge site. The Cu clusters are chemically loaded onto graphene, and the remaining clusters are physically loaded onto graphene. The adsorption of C₂H₄ on Ag-Gp is physical, and C₂H₄ is chemically adsorbed on the remaining systems by generating a new chemical bond. The adsorption abilities for the C₂H₄ molecule are in the following order: Cu-Gp > Au-Gp > Ag-Gp; Au₂-Gp > Cu₂-Gp > Ag₂-Gp; Au₃-Gp > Cu₃-Gp > Ag₃-Gp. Among the clusters studied, the Au₃-Gp system has the strongest adsorption effect, and the Ag-cluster-loaded graphene shows the least adsorptive capacity for the C₂H₄ molecule. The Cu-Gp system has the best sensitivity and the Ag-Gp system has the fastest recovery time for C₂H₄.

C2H4在Au/Ag/ cu -石墨烯上的吸附、电子和传感特性：密度泛函理论研究

基于密度泛函理论，研究了C2H4气体分子在Aun/Agn/Cun (n = 1-3)-石墨烯（Gp）基体上的吸附特性。结果表明，Aun/Agn/Cun （n = 1-3，除Ag原子外）簇在石墨烯上最稳定的加载位点为顶部位点，Ag原子在石墨烯上最稳定的加载位点为桥位。铜团簇被化学加载到石墨烯上，其余的团簇被物理加载到石墨烯上。C2H4在Ag-Gp上的吸附是物理吸附，C2H4通过生成新的化学键在其余体系上进行化学吸附。对C2H4分子的吸附能力依次为：Cu-Gp >； Au-Gp > Ag-Gp；Cu2-Gp > Ag2-Gp；Cu3-Gp > Ag3-Gp；在所研究的簇中，Au3-Gp体系对C2H4分子的吸附效果最强，负载ag簇的石墨烯对C2H4分子的吸附能力最低。Cu-Gp体系对C2H4的灵敏度最好，Ag-Gp体系对C2H4的恢复时间最快。
