abstract

the b3lyp/6-31++g** density functional calculations were used to obtain minimum geometries and interaction energies between the molecular hydrogen and nanostructures of fullerenes, c20 (cage), c20 (bowl), c19si (bowl, penta), c19si (bowl, hexa). the h2 molecule is set as adsorbed in the distance of 3å at vertical position from surface above the pentagonal and hexagonal sites of nanostructures. by comparing of gap energies, electronic chemical potential, hardness and results of qtaim (quantum  theory of atom in molecules) analysis, the si atom substitution in hexa two- fold position of c20 (bowl)may be suitable for the adsorption of hydrogen molecule.

Adsorption Behaviors of Curcumin on N-doped TiO2 Anatase Nanoparticles: Density Functional Theory Calculations

The density functional theory (DFT) calculations were used to get information concerning the interaction of curcumin with pristine and N-doped TiO2 anatase nanoparticles. Three adsorption geometries of curcumin over the TiO2 anatase nanoparticles were studied in order to fully exploit the sensing properties of TiO2 nanoparticles. Curcumin molecule adsorbs on the fivefold coordinated titanium si...

Investigating the Effect of Fullerene (C20) Substitution on the Structural and Energetic Properties of Tetryl by Density Functional Theory

The substitution reaction of pure, silicon doped and germanium doped fullerenes and tetryl were evaluated computationally at two configurations, in this study. For this purpose, all of the studied structures were optimized geometrically and then IR and NBO calculations were performed on them in the temperature range of 300-400 K at 10˚ intervals. The obtained negative values of Gibbs free energ...

Exploration of the adsorption of caffeine molecule on the TiO2 nanostructures: A density functional theory study

The first principles were calculated to study the adsorption behaviors of caffeine molecules on the pristineand N-doped TiO2 anatase nanoparticles. Both oxygen and nitrogen in the caffeine molecule can reactstrongly with TiO2 nanoparticle. Thus, the binding sites were located on the oxygen or nitrogen atom ofthe caffeine, while the binding site of the TiO2 nanoparticle occurs ...

Electronic properties of hydrogenated porous Graphene based nanoribbons: A density functional theory study

The structural and electronic properties of the hydrogenated porous graphene nanoribbons were studied by using density functional theory calculations. The results show that the hydrogenated porous graphene nanoribbons are energetically stable. The effects of ribbon type and ribbon width on the electronic properties of these nanoribbons were investigated. It was found that both armchair and zigz...
