Abstract
The capture, detection, and storage of nitric oxide (NO) are essential. This study utilizes first-principles calculations to explore how transition metals (M = Fe, Ru, Cr, V, Co, Pd, Pt) embedded in γ-graphyne (GY) influence NO adsorption, desorption, and signaling. Results demonstrate that embedding M atoms in GY forms polarized active sites, significantly enhancing NO adsorption. Charge transfer and d-p orbital hybridization reduce electronic band gaps; NO adsorption decreases magnetic moments in Fe/GY, Cr/GY, and V/GY, fully quenches those in Co/GY and Ru/GY, and induces new moments in Pd/GY via orbital hybridization. Metal modification enhances the optical response, improving dielectric function and absorption/reflectivity in the infrared-visible-near-ultraviolet region. These findings provide a basis for detecting NO adsorption through electrical, magnetic, and optical signals. Desorption dynamics indicate that Pd/GY and Pt/GY enable rapid NO release at lower temperatures, Co/GY, Fe/GY, and Cr/GY allow controlled NO desorption via thermal activation. In comparison, V/GY and Ru/GY maintain stable NO adsorption at higher temperatures, making them suitable for NO release in dynamic environments, cyclic capture-release, and storage under extreme conditions, respectively.
期刊介绍:
DRM is a leading international journal that publishes new fundamental and applied research on all forms of diamond, the integration of diamond with other advanced materials and development of technologies exploiting diamond. The synthesis, characterization and processing of single crystal diamond, polycrystalline films, nanodiamond powders and heterostructures with other advanced materials are encouraged topics for technical and review articles. In addition to diamond, the journal publishes manuscripts on the synthesis, characterization and application of other related materials including diamond-like carbons, carbon nanotubes, graphene, and boron and carbon nitrides. Articles are sought on the chemical functionalization of diamond and related materials as well as their use in electrochemistry, energy storage and conversion, chemical and biological sensing, imaging, thermal management, photonic and quantum applications, electron emission and electronic devices.
The International Conference on Diamond and Carbon Materials has evolved into the largest and most well attended forum in the field of diamond, providing a forum to showcase the latest results in the science and technology of diamond and other carbon materials such as carbon nanotubes, graphene, and diamond-like carbon. Run annually in association with Diamond and Related Materials the conference provides junior and established researchers the opportunity to exchange the latest results ranging from fundamental physical and chemical concepts to applied research focusing on the next generation carbon-based devices.
