Unveiling the potential of C4N3 as a novel sensing surface for persistent organic pollutants: A DFT study
Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) pose severe environmental and public health risks due to their accumulation in biological systems. This study investigates the feasibility of carbon nitride (C4N3) as a sensing material for the detection of POPs using DFT studies. The adsorption characteristics of three model POPs dibenzofuran (DB), benzopyrene (BP), and benzodioxine (BX) were calculated. The adsorption-energies (Ead) illustrate Van-der Waals interactions, further evidenced by the non-covalent interaction analysis and quantum-theory of atoms in molecules analysis. The electronic properties of the systems (DB@C4N3, BP@C4N3, and BX@C4N3) were evaluated using the molecular electrostatic potential, natural bond orbital analysis, density of state calculations, and electron-localization function. NBO analysis indicated charge transfer from the C4N3 surface to the analytes. The recovery time was determined using transition-state theory to assess the reusability. These results offer a theoretical basis for potentially utilizing the C4N3 surface in sensors that target major POPS in the environment.
