Abstract

Adsorption of the toxic gas molecules carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2) and ammonia (NH3) on the edge of N-doped sawtooth penta-graphene nanoribbons (N:SSPGNRs) was studied using first-principles methods. Basing our study on density functional theory (DFT), we investigated adsorption configurations, adsorption energy, charge transfer, and the electronic properties of CO-, CO2and NH3adsorbed onto N:SSPGNRs. We found that CO and CO2 are chemisorbed on the edge of N:SSPGNR, while NH3 is physisorbed. Current-voltage (I–V) characteristics were also investigated using the non-equilibrium Green’s function (NEGF) approach. Gas molecules can modify the current of a device based on N:SSPGNRs. The results indicate the potential of using N:SSPGNRs for detection of these toxic gas molecules.

N掺杂锯齿状五石墨烯纳米带边缘小分子吸附的从头算研究

采用第一性原理方法研究了有毒气体分子一氧化碳（CO）、二氧化碳（CO2）和氨（NH3）在N掺杂锯齿状五石墨烯纳米带（N:SPNNR）边缘的吸附。在密度泛函理论（DFT）的基础上，我们研究了吸附在N：SSPGNRs上的CO、CO2和NH3的吸附构型、吸附能、电荷转移和电子性质。我们发现CO和CO2在N:SPNNR的边缘被化学吸附，而NH3被物理吸附。还使用非平衡格林函数（NEGF）方法研究了电流-电压（I–V）特性。气体分子可以改变基于N:SSPGNRs的设备的电流。结果表明，使用N：SSPGNRs检测这些有毒气体分子的潜力。

期刊介绍： Papers in Physics publishes original research in all areas of physics and its interface with other subjects. The scope includes, but is not limited to, physics of particles and fields, condensed matter, relativity and gravitation, nuclear physics, physics of fluids, biophysics, econophysics, chemical physics, statistical mechanics, soft condensed matter, materials science, mathematical physics and general physics. Contributions in the areas of foundations of physics, history of physics and physics education are not considered for publication. Articles published in Papers in Physics contain substantial new results and ideas that advance the state of physics in a non-trivial way. Articles are strictly reviewed by specialists prior to publication. Papers in Physics highlights outstanding articles published in the journal through the Editors'' choice section. Papers in Physics offers two distinct editorial treatments to articles from which authors can choose. In Traditional Review, manuscripts are submitted to anonymous reviewers seeking constructive criticism and editors make a decision on whether publication is appropriate. In Open Review, manuscripts are sent to reviewers. If the paper is considered original and technically sound, the article, the reviewer''s comments and the author''s reply are published alongside the names of all involved. This way, Papers in Physics promotes the open discussion of controversies among specialists that are of help to the reader and to the transparency of the editorial process. Moreover, our reviewers receive their due recognition by publishing a recorded citable report. Papers in Physics publishes Commentaries from the reviewer(s) if major disagreements remain after exchange with the authors or if a different insight proposed is considered valuable for the readers.
