Abstract:We investigated the effect of nitrogen dopant on the charge transfer rate (CTR) and reaction pathways of hydrogen molecule dissociation on graphene and nitrogen-doped graphene based upon first principle calculation. We found that the nitrogen atom form covalent bonds with the carbon atoms with bond length of C-N of 1.41 Å. The geometry optimization results in nitrogen doped pristine graphene revealed that nitrogen pulled downward the nearest neighbor of carbon atom, thus the structure is a bit downward. We fou… Show more
