Abstract
The sensing of formaldehyde, one of the volatile organic compounds used in chemical processes, is very important. In this study, the adsorption and sensing of formaldehyde molecule on Pd4 nanocluster decorated carbon nanotube (Pd4-CNT) was investigated by using DFT method. The WB97XD hybrid method was used in DFT calculations. The adsorption energy value was calculated as −8.1 kJ/mol. This low adsorption energy confirms the very short recovery time and the predominance of weak interactions. There was a decrease of approximately 20% in the HOMO-LUMO gap after the interaction. This result shows that the Pd4-CNT can be used as a sensor at room temperature.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
