Detection of hydroxymethanesulfonate (HMS) by transition metal-anchored fullerene nanoclusters

Hitler Louis et al.

Summary: Theoretical study on the adsorption and detection of HMS-CH3O4S gas on transition metal doped fullerene surfaces was conducted using DFT. It was found that C23Cr and C23Ti surfaces exhibited better sensing properties, and the adsorption phenomenon was best described as chemisorption. Weak interactions were mainly attributed to van der Waal's interaction in HMS-C23Cr and strong hydrogen bond interaction in HMS-C23Ti.

Adsorption and gas-sensing investigation of oil dissolved gases onto nitrogen and sulfur doped graphene quantum dots

Bassey E. Inah et al.

Summary: Burning hydrocarbons as fuel, a major contributor to global warming, can introduce hydrocarbons into the environment through their use as fuels and chemicals or through accidents. This study used density functional theory (DFT) to investigate the adsorption behavior of C2H4, CH4, and H2 on nitrogen and sulfur-doped graphene quantum dot surfaces. Theoretical calculations showed stable and favorable gas adsorption on the doped surfaces. The calculated adsorption energies, as well as parameters from quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM) and natural bond orbitals (NBO), confirmed the stability and intermolecular interactions of the surfaces. GQD_N and GQD_S were found to be good adsorbents for C2H4, CH4, and H2 gases, respectively.

Synergistic effect of KI and urea on the corrosion protection of mild steel 0.5 M H2SO4: Experimental and computational insights

Terngu T. Uzah et al.

Summary: Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), gravimetric measurement, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Fourier transfer infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) were used to investigate the corrosion inhibition efficacy of urea on mild steel (MS) in 0.5 M sulphuric acid solution, along with the synergistic effect of adding potassium iodide (KI). The results showed that increasing inhibitor concentrations and the addition of KI improved the mild steel inhibition efficiencies. The adsorption of urea and urea+KI on the metal surface followed the Langmuir isotherm and acted as a physisorption inhibitor. Scanning electron microscopy investigations confirmed the adsorption of the inhibitor and subsequent corrosion protection. Density functional theory (DFT) calculation and Monte Carlo simulation provided insights into the mechanism of the corrosion inhibition process at the atomic and molecular levels.

Summary: Molecular dynamics simulations were performed to investigate the absorption of gases (NH3, N-2, H-2) by different types of ionic liquids (protic IL [Bim][Tf2N] and conventional IL [Bmim][Tf2N]). The results revealed that the interaction between NH3 and the [Bim](+) cation was stronger than that between NH3 and [Bmim](+) cation, resulting in high selective absorption of NH3. The increased number density of cations near the IL-gas interface facilitated the rapid and effective permeation of NH3 molecules.
