The adsorption of H2S molecule on Si-doped and Ag supported Si-doped graphene is studied by first-principles calculations. We find that the H2S floats on the Si-doped graphene sheet, indicating a weak physisorption. The calculated net charge transfer, charge density difference and density of states give evidence that the adsorption of H2S on Ag supported Si-doped graphene is by chemisorption. Moreover, the desorption and dissociation of H2S adsorbed on Ag supported Si-doped graphene occur at the external electric field of 1.4 and -0.8 V/Å, respectively. Therefore, the Ag supported Si-doped graphene can be expected to be a novel sensor for the detection of H2S gas.

The adsorption of methane (CH4) molecule on the pristine and Al-doped (4, 8) graphene was investigated via the first-principles calculations. The results demonstrated that, in comparison to the adsorption of a CH4molecule on the pristine graphene sheet, a relatively stronger adsorption was observed between the CH4molecule and Al-doped graphene with a shorter adsorption distance, larger binding energy and more charge-transfer from the graphene surface to the CH4molecule. Therefore, the Al-doped graphene can be expected to be a novel sensor for the detection of CH4molecules in future applications.

The lattice structure, interface binding energy, density of states, charge density difference and Bader charges of Au (100)/CH3NH3PbI3 (MAPbI3) (100) interface were studied with the first-principles calculations. The lattice mismatch of the Au (100)/MAPbI3 (100) interface is 3.48%. The interface binding energy is −0.124 J/m2. There is a small amount of electronic states nearby the interface through analyzing the density of states of the interface. In addition, the atom orbital has hybridizations nearby the interface. Through analyzing charge density difference and Bader charges, it is found that there is obvious charge transfer at the interface.

The essential properties of monolayer silicene greatly enriched by boron substitutions are thoroughly explored through first-principles calculations. Delicate analyses are conducted on the highly non-uniform Moire superlattices, atom-dominated band structures, charge density distributions and atom- and orbital-decomposed van Hove singularities. The hybridized 2 p z –3 p z and [2s, 2 p x , 2 p y ]–[3s, 3 p x , 3 p y ] bondings, with orthogonal relations, are obtained from the developed theoretical framework. The red-shifted Fermi level and the modified Dirac cones/ π bands/ σ bands are clearly identified under various concentrations and configurations of boron-guest atoms. Our results demonstrate that the charge transfer leads to the non-uniform chemical environment that creates diverse electronic properties.

The selective adsorption and capture of CO2 from post-combustion gases carries huge significance for the reduction of greenhouse effect. In this research, the computations of density functional are performed to investigate the CO2 selective adsorption of S-doped graphene in thrall to applied electric field (E-F). Introducing the applied E-F, the adsorption between S-doped graphene and CO2 is strong chemisorption, and CO2 can be effectively captured. Removing the applied E-F, the adsorption restores to physisorption and CO2 is easily desorbed. Therefore, the CO2 seize and clearing can be realized merely by controlling the E-F. Besides, the adsorption energy of N2 (H2O) on S-decorated graphene is positive when introduce the applied E-F. The results demonstrated that S-doped graphene can selectively adsorb CO2 from the post-combustion gases by controlling the E-F.
