Thermally activated hydrogen desorption from pentagraphane is studied by atomistic computer simulation. Pentagraphane is a recently predicted quasi-two-dimensional hydrocarbon compound that represents a pentagraphene single layer, in which both sides are covered with hydrogen and the C–C bonds form a network of adjacent pentagons, whereas the hexagons characteristic of carbon nanostructures are lacking. The effect of hydrogen desorption on the electronic structure, phonon density of states, and Young’s modulus are studied. The temperature dependence of the characteristic desorption time is determined by the molecular-dynamics method.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
