“…The basis sets applied in the studied systems were double-zeta-polarized (DZP). DZP basis set provides accurate results and a relatively fast computational approach; 56 therefore, the smallest basis set 7 is of DZP quality, 58 and the optimized mesh cutoff energy for all nanoribbons is set at 280 Ry (see Fig. S14 in the ESI†).…”

“…55 For each type of functional, a specific set of pseudopotentials was generated and tested by starting from the parameters for the GGA-PBE functional. 56 We also introduced van der Waals type corrections using a functional that includes van der Waals interactions (VDW-DF). Armchair nanoribbons under our investigation have 48 atoms and their width is 6 atoms, and zigzag nanoribbons have 50 atoms and their width is 8 atoms, with a vacuum space of 30 Å along the conventional (100) and (010) directions to avoid the unwanted interaction between the periodically repeating units.…”
Nanomaterials-based gas sensors are widely applied for monitoring and fast detection of hazardous gases due to their sensitivity and selectivity. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S), hydrogen fluoride (HF), ammonia (NH3) and carbon...

“…The combination of DFT and ReaxFF provides insights into reactivity and adsorption mechanisms. [45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53] We analyze total interaction energies, partial radial distribution functions (RDF), statistical investigations, charge transfer, charge density differences, and changes in work function to elucidate the adsorption mechanisms on the studied surfaces.…”

“…We employ density functional theory (DFT) with dispersion corrections and ReaxFF molecular dynamics (MD) to study the individual and mixed adsorption of pyridine and thiophene on Cu (100), considering the inhibiting effect of water and the Cu (100) doping with Pt and Ru for desulfurization and denitrogenation. The combination of DFT and ReaxFF provides insights into reactivity and adsorption mechanisms [45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53] . We analyze total interaction energies, partial radial distribution functions (RDF), statistical investigations, charge transfer, charge density differences, and changes in work function to elucidate the adsorption mechanisms on the studied surfaces.…”
We conducted an extensive investigation using density functional theory (DFT) calculations and ReaxFF molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to elucidate the mechanisms of desulfurization and denitrogenation on Cu(100) surfaces.
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.
