Electrochemical N2 reduction reaction (NRR) is a promising approach for NH3 production under mild conditions. Herein, the catalytic performance of 3d transition metal (TM) atoms anchored on s-triazine-based g-C3N4 (TM@g-C3N4) in NRR systematically investigated by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Among these TM@g-C3N4 systems, V@g-C3N4, Cr@g-C3N4, Mn@g-C3N4, Fe@g-C3N4, and Co@g-C3N4 monolayers have lower ΔG(*NNH) values, especially V@g-C3N4 monolayer has lowest limiting potential...

This study explores the metal Co- and nonmetal-atom-codoped graphene (CoNMx-graphene, x = 1–3 NM N, Si, P) as substrates for CO oxidation reactions. By density functional theory calculations, we show formation mechanism of CoNM3-graphene configurations their corresponding electronic structures magnetic properties. On sheets, adsorbed O2 is more stable than that molecule serves reactive species. Besides, coadsorption CO/O2 (or 2CO) has larger adsorption energies those isolated molecules,...

Research into suitable substrate-supported single-atom catalysts has become a major challenge for electrochemical sensors and energy devices. Firstly, we investigate the adsorption properties of metal atoms (MA = Fe, Co, Ni, Cu Al) on pristine defective BC3 sheets through using first-principles calculations. It is found that MA-doped configurations (MA-BC3) are quite stable at high temperature positively charged MAs as surface active sites can effectively regulate stability reactive gases....

Integration of graphene-like carbon nitride materials is essential for nanoelectronic applications. Using density-functional theory (DFT), we systematically investigate the structural, electronic and optical properties a s-triazine-based g-C3N4/C3N heterostructure under different modified conditions. The van der Waals (vdWH) formed has an indirect bandgap with type-II band alignment structures can be tuned from to type-I by applying biaxial strains external electric fields (Efield). Compared...

Metal-free catalysts have attracted more attention due to their highly active in catalytic oxidation reactions. The electronic structure and property of BC3 sheet are investigated by using first-principles calculations. It is found that the as surface can effectively regulate adsorptive stability reactive gases. Besides, possible reaction processes for CO on comparably analysed through different mechanisms, which include Eley–Rideal (ER), Langmuir–Hinshelwood (LH) termolecular (TER). In...

By density functional theory (DFT) calculations, it is found that the single-atom Fe anchored three Si modified defective graphene (3Si-graphene-Fe) exhibits high stability, and this system semiconducting property has non-magnetic moment. Besides most stable configurations, electronic structures magnetic properties of adsorbed species (O2, CO, 2CO CO/O2) on 3Si-graphene-Fe systems are comparably discussed. The adsorption O2 more than CO molecule coadsorption CO/O2 larger energy isolated one....
