This study conducted a density functional theory investigation on the adsorption of CO, C2H2, and CH4 gases on transition metal oxides (NiO, SnO2, In2O3) modified graphene monolayer. The potential applications of the NiO/SnO2/In2O(3) modified graphene monolayer in adsorbents and gas-sensitive materials are discussed, considering the modified model, band structure, synergistic effect, adsorption energy, adsorption distance, adsorption structure, electron transfer, and density of state.
This work conducted a density functional theory study on CO, C2H2, and CH4 gases adsorption on transition metal oxides (NiO, SnO2, In2O3) modified graphene monolayer. The application prospects of NiO/SnO2/In2O(3) modified graphene monolayer in adsorbents and gas-sensitive materials are discussed from the aspects of modified model, band structure, synergistic effect, adsorption energy, adsorption distance, adsorption structure, electron transfer, and density of state. The three transition metal oxides are modified at three optimal positions on the graphene monolayer, which improves the conductivity of the intrinsic graphene monolayer. NiO-graphene monolayer has the largest adsorption energy for CO gas by obvious chemical interaction. The introduction of transition metal oxides on the intrinsic graphene monolayer significantly enhances the chemical interaction between the graphene monolayer and C2H2 gas. Still, it cannot increase the adsorption energy of CH4 gas. In addition, the electronic properties, desorption performance, and comparative process analysis of all adsorption structures were also studied to evaluate their potential applications for specific gas detection and removal in oil immersed power transformers.
