The catalytic effect of graphene on the corannulene bowl-to-bowl inversion is confirmed using a pair-wise dispersion interaction model. The interaction energy between corannulene and graphene is determined using a continuum approach and the Lennard-Jones potential. These results demonstrate that the catalytic activity of graphene can be reproduced using pair-wise dispersion interactions alone, highlighting their major role in graphene's catalytic activity.
The catalytic effect of graphene on the corannulene bowl-to-bowl inversion is confirmed in this paper using a pair-wise dispersion interaction model. In particular, a continuum approach together with the Lennard-Jones potential are adopted to determine the interaction energy between corannulene and graphene. These results are consistent with previous quantum chemical studies, which showed that a graphene sheet reduces the barrier height for the bowl-to-bowl inversion in corannulene. However, the results presented here demonstrate, for the first time, that the catalytic activity of graphene can be reproduced using pair-wise dispersion interactions alone. This demonstrates the major role that pair-wise dispersion interactions play in the catalytic activity of graphene.
