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.
