Ag Supported Si-Doped Graphene for Hydrogen Sulphide Detection: A First-Principles Investigation

Article Preview

Abstract:

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.
