First-principles prediction of two-dimensional metal-hexahydroxybenzene frameworks as promising CO gas sensors
Two-dimensional (2D) metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been adopted in gas sensing due to their large surface area and abundant active sites. In this study, we performed density functional theory calculations to systematically investigate the gas sensing properties of 2D metal-hexahydroxybenzene frameworks (M3(HHB)2, where M represents V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, and Zn). Our results reveal that the eight M3(HHB)2 monolayers exhibit distinct responses to CO molecules. Specifically, the adsorption of CO on one surface of the films significantly increases the conductance of V3(HHB)2, Fe3(HHB)2, and Co3(HHB)2, with a conductance response exceeding 68 %. This is attributed to the reduction of the band gap in V3(HHB)2 and the transition of Fe3(HHB)2 and Co3(HHB)2 from half-metallic to metallic properties upon CO adsorption. In contrast, CO adsorption leads to a noticeable reduction in the conductance of Cr3(HHB)2, Mn3(HHB)2, Ni3(HHB)2, and Zn3(HHB)2 with a conductance response of more than −88 %. Cr3(HHB)2 and Ni3(HHB)2 monolayers change from metallic to half-metallic properties, while Mn3(HHB)2 and Zn3(HHB)2 transition from half-metallic to semiconducting properties upon CO adsorption. The current-voltage curves further confirm the high sensitivity of M3(HHB)2 to CO gas. Additionally, the desorption time of CO on Mn3(HHB)2, Ni3(HHB)2, and Zn3(HHB)2 is less than 1 × 10−5 s at room temperature, indicating their potential as reusable CO sensors. Our findings suggest that M3(HHB)2 films exhibit higher sensitivity when one surface of the nanosheet is exposed to CO gas, making them promising candidates for resistive CO gas sensors.
