Abstract
The increasing concentration of CO gas in the atmosphere causes great pressure to the environment, so it is urgent to find efficient CO capture materials. In this study, the adsorption behavior of CO on 3 transition metal (TM) modified -graphene (TM-) was studied by first-principles calculation, and the synergistic effect of electric field was considered. The adsorption performance of TM- towards CO is significantly enhanced. Ti- (−1.63 eV) and V- (−1.76 eV) are the most outstanding, and the adsorption energy is increased to about 10 times of the original -graphene (−0.17 eV). In addition, the reversible adsorption of CO on Ti- is expected to be achieved by controlling the electric field. More importantly, Ti- exhibits high selectivity in separating CO from the gas mixtures (CO/H/CH) under the applied electric field. Ti- has potential applications in recyclable CO capture materials, and external electric field can facilitate the development of CO capture, storage and separation technologies.
期刊介绍:
The aim of the journal is to provide a respectful outlet for ''sound science'' papers in all research areas on surfaces and interfaces. We define sound science papers as papers that describe new and well-executed research, but that do not necessarily provide brand new insights or are merely a description of research results.
Surfaces and Interfaces publishes research papers in all fields of surface science which may not always find the right home on first submission to our Elsevier sister journals (Applied Surface, Surface and Coatings Technology, Thin Solid Films)
