Substrate‐Adatom Interface Engineering of Transition Metal Decorated Boron‐Doped Graphene Sheet for Enhanced Adsorption of Xe and Kr – A Systematic Ab initio Study
Abstract:Efficient adsorption and segregation of Xe and Kr gases are of high importance in commercial and nuclear industries. Systematic ab initio calculations reveal that transition-metal (TM) decorated boron-doped graphene (BDG-TM) sheet can act as an efficient substrate for adsorptive capture of Xe and Kr (adatoms). Substantial enhancement in the adsorption energy (E ads ) is obtained on BDG-TM substrates, and it varies as BDG-Cu > BDG-Ni > BDG-Fe > BDG-Zn. The improvement is approximately four times that of the pri… Show more
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.
