Context: The reaction of NO with pristine and Pt-doped SnS surfaces is investigated theoretically and compared with the experiment. Transition state theory formalism for gas sensors is adopted to present NO gas sensing. The dissociation temperature at approximately 150 °C is found to be of great importance in NO reactions. The adsorption and transition states of NO with pristine and Pt-doped SnS are calculated. Pt doping includes 0.5, 1, and 1.5% in accordance with available experimental results. The variation of thermodynamic quantities such as Gibbs free energy with Pt concentration and temperature is calculated. Transition state theory parameters that are suitable for the present sensor are determined. The results include the variation in response time with temperature, Pt concentration, and NO concentration. Response and response time as a function of temperature are rarely investigated in theoretical calculations, which is one of the advantages of the present study. Optimum response temperature and Pt concentration are found. The results agree with available experimental results.
Methods: Density functional theory at the B3LYP level optimize molecular structures. 6-311G** basis set is used for all elements except Sn and Pt treated using SDD basis set. Gaussian 09 program and its facilities are used to perform present optimizations.

The main challenge has been focused on ibuprofen drug detection and adsorption of boron nitride nanotube (BNNT) doping with transition metal (TM = Fe, Ni, and Pt) atoms using the density functional theory calculation in gas and water phases. The geometrical structures, adsorption energies, solvation energies, and electronic properties were examined. The optimized geometries show that the ibuprofen molecule oriented itself at different bond distances and angles with respect to BNNT surface.

The design of bifunctional oxygen electrocatalysts showing high catalytic performance for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is of great significance for developing new renewable energy storage and conversion technologies. Herein, based on the first principles calculations, we systematically explored the electrocatalytic activity of a series of transition metal atom (Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Pd and Pt)-doped ZnS and ZnSe nanostructures for OER and ORR. The calculated results revealed that Ni- and Pt-doped ZnS and ZnSe nanostructures exhibit promising electrocatalytic performance for both OER and ORR in comparison to the pristine ZnS and ZnSe nanostructures.

Herein, Ni-decorated SnO (Ni@SnO) nanostructures have been synthesized using SnO as a matrix a simple electroless deposition method for the generation of hydrogen, a potent near-future fuel. XRD analysis confirmed the generation of rutile SnO in Ni@SnO. FESEM and FETEM imaging exhibited the formation of SnO nanoparticles with a size of 10-50 nm, which are deposited with Ni nanoparticles (5-7 nm) and intermittent films (thickness 1-2 nm).

Article Synopsis
- Significant research has focused on two-dimensional hexagonal boron carbon nitride (BCN) due to its attractive physical and chemical properties, enhanced by carbon atoms that reduce its energy gap compared to boron nitride (BN).
- The study employs density functional theory to analyze the structural, electronic, and magnetic properties of platinum-doped BCN (Pt-BCN) and its interaction with small gas molecules, revealing changes in stability and semiconductor properties based on the doping site.
- Results indicate that Pt doping significantly increases gas adsorption strength, suggesting potential applications in gas purification, spintronics, and gas sensing technologies.
