Using structural relaxation calculations and first-principles molecular dynamics (FPMD), we performed numerical simulations to explore the interaction of a 2D MoS surface and a platinum atom, calculating the optical properties of the resulting material. We explored three initial positions for the interaction of the Pt atom and the pristine MoS surface, plus another position between Pt and the MoS surface with a sulfur vacancy V. The surface absorbed the Pt atom in all cases considered, with absorption energies ranging from -2.

Using DFT simulations, we studied the interaction of a semifullerene C and a defected graphene layer. We obtained the C chemisorbs on the surface. We also found the adsorbed C chemisorbs, Li, Ti, or Pt, on its concave part.

We performed ab initio numerical simulations with the density functional theory to investigate the variations in the band structure, optical absorption, and the reflectivity of vacancy-graphene doped with nitrogen, oxygen, and fluorine for different densities. We considered the density values 0.78%, 1.

Article Synopsis
  • The study explored how H2 and O2 react on nitrogen-doped graphene with palladium or gold, using computational methods.
  • It was discovered that palladium can adsorb two hydrogen molecules, which then react with two oxygen molecules to form hydrogen peroxide through two distinct mechanisms.
  • In contrast, gold only adsorbs and dissociates one hydrogen molecule, which reacts with one oxygen molecule to create water, while showing a preference for oxygen adsorption over hydrogen.
