Abstract

Carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) adsorption on decorated graphene (GR) sheets with transition metals (TMs) including iron, nickel and zinc was investigated for removing this hazardous gas from the environment. TM-doped GR results in higher activity toward gas detecting than pristine graphene nanosheets. TM embedding restrains hydrogen evolution on the C sites, leaving more available sites for a CO 2 decrease. The Langmuir adsorption model with ONIOM using CAM-B3LYP functional and LANL2DZ and 6-31+G (d,p) basis sets due to Gaussian 16 revision C.01 program on the complexes of CO 2 →(Fe, Ni, Zn) embedded on the GR was accomplished. The changes of charge density illustrated a more considerable charge transfer for Zn-embedded GR. The thermodynamic results from IR spectroscopy indicated that Δ G ads , CO 2 → Zn @ C − GR o has the notable gap of Gibbs free energy adsorption with a dipole moment which defines the alterations between the Gibbs free energy of the initial compounds ( Δ G CO 2 o and Δ G Zn @ C − GR o ) and product compound ( Δ G CO 2 → Zn @ C − GR o ) through polarizability. Frontier molecular orbital and band energy gaps accompanying some chemical reactivity parameters represented the behavior of molecular electrical transport of the (Fe, Ni, Zn) embedding of GR for the adsorption of CO 2 gas molecules. Our results have provided a favorable understanding of the interaction between TM-embedded graphene nanosheets and CO 2 .
