Abstract
Context
The reaction of NO2 with pristine and Pt-doped SnS2 surfaces is investigated theoretically and compared with the experiment. Transition state theory formalism for gas sensors is adopted to present NO2 gas sensing. The dissociation temperature at approximately 150 °C is found to be of great importance in NO2 reactions. The adsorption and transition states of NO2 with pristine and Pt-doped SnS2 are calculated. Pt doping includes 0.5, 1, and 1.5% in accordance with available experimental results. The variation of thermodynamic quantities such as Gibbs free energy with Pt concentration and temperature is calculated. Transition state theory parameters that are suitable for the present sensor are determined. The results include the variation in response time with temperature, Pt concentration, and NO2 concentration. Response and response time as a function of temperature are rarely investigated in theoretical calculations, which is one of the advantages of the present study. Optimum response temperature and Pt concentration are found. The results agree with available experimental results.
Methods
Density functional theory at the B3LYP level optimize molecular structures. 6-311G** basis set is used for all elements except Sn and Pt treated using SDD basis set. Gaussian 09 program and its facilities are used to perform present optimizations.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Molecular Modeling focuses on "hardcore" modeling, publishing high-quality research and reports. Founded in 1995 as a purely electronic journal, it has adapted its format to include a full-color print edition, and adjusted its aims and scope fit the fast-changing field of molecular modeling, with a particular focus on three-dimensional modeling.
Today, the journal covers all aspects of molecular modeling including life science modeling; materials modeling; new methods; and computational chemistry.
Topics include computer-aided molecular design; rational drug design, de novo ligand design, receptor modeling and docking; cheminformatics, data analysis, visualization and mining; computational medicinal chemistry; homology modeling; simulation of peptides, DNA and other biopolymers; quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSAR) and ADME-modeling; modeling of biological reaction mechanisms; and combined experimental and computational studies in which calculations play a major role.
