By using density functional theory (DFT), the adsorption behavior of gas molecules on defective graphene doped with manganese and nitrogen were investigated. The geometric structure, electronic structure, and magnetic properties of two substrates were calculated and the sensing mechanism was also analyzed. The results indicate that the MnSV-GP and MnN-GP have stronger structural stability, in which Mn atoms and their coordination atoms will become the adsorption point for five gas molecules (CHO, CO, NO, SO, and NH), respectively.

The adsorption structural, electronic structures, magnetic properties and adsorption energies of the adsorption system have been completely analyzed. It is found that the adsorption activity of a single vacancy graphene-embedded Mn atom (MnSV-GN) is the largest in the three graphene supports.

We have investigated the geometric stability, electric properties, and magnetic properties comprehensively upon the interaction between Co/N-gra and gas molecules. The binding energy of Co is -5.

The results show that the adsorption of HCO on the original monolayer MoS is very weak, and the electronic structure of the substrate changes little after adsorption. A new kind of surface single cluster catalyst was formed after Zn doped monolayer MoS, where the ZnMo small clusters made the surface have high selectivity.
