We report the density-functional calculations of NO2 adsorption on single-walled carbon nanotube walls. A single molecular adsorption was endothermic with an activation barrier, but a collective adsorption with several molecules became exothermic without an activation barrier. We find that NO2 adsorption is strongly electronic structure- and strain-dependent. The NO2 adsorption on metallic nano...

Universal mechanisms of adsorption and capillary condensation of toluene and nitrogen on ordered MCM-41 and PHTS materials are studied by means of high-resolution experiments and Monte Carlo molecular simulations. A molecular simulation model of toluene adsorption in silica nanopores, which accounts for surface heterogeneity, and a hybrid molecular-macsroscopic method for pore size distribution...

The adsorption properties of CO and H2 on iron-based catalyst with addition of Zr and Ni were investigated using temperature programmed desorption process. It was found that on the carburized iron-based catalysts, molecular state and dissociative state CO existed together. The addition of Zr was preferential for the molecular state adsorption of CO on iron-based catalyst and the presence of Ni ...

In a physiological environment, nanoparticles selectively absorb proteins to form 'nanoparticle-protein coronas', a process governed by molecular interactions between chemical groups on the nanoparticle surfaces and the amino-acid residues of the proteins. Here, we propose a biological surface adsorption index to characterize these interactions by quantifying the competitive adsorption of a set...

conclusions according to the high efficiency of cadmium elimination by tea waste, this approach is applicable as an efficient and affordable trend to remove cadmium from aqueous solution without any chemical or physical pre-treatment. background heavy metals pollution is a serious threat to environment and human health. therefore, it is vital to find an effective method to remove heavy metals f...

the aim of this research is studying the effects of ge-doped on co adsorption on the outer and inner surfaces of (6, 0) zigzag model of boron nitride nanotube (bnnts) by using dft theory. for this purpose, eight models of co adsorption on the surfaces of bnnts are considered. at first step, all structures were optimized at b3lyp and 6-31g (d) standard base set and then the electronic structure,...

The adsorption dynamics of water on Pt(111) was studied using ab initio molecular dynamics simulations based on density functional theory calculations including dispersion corrections. Sticking probabilities were derived as a function of initial kinetic energy and water coverage. In addition, the energy distribution upon adsorption was monitored in order to analyze the energy dissipation proces...

Colloidal adsorption and spontaneous ordering of adsorbed particles on a substrate was simulated using a three-dimensional simulation model for colloidal dispersion system with an adsorptive surface under a specified bulk concentration, where the particle-particle and particle-substrate interactions were modeled on the DLVO theory. The key process for order formation is considered to be the ads...

ab initio calculations at the density functional theory (dft) and the second-order møller−plessetperturbation theory levels with 6-31+g(d), 6-31g(d) basis sets for non-metal atoms and lanl2dzfor metal have been performed for the adsorption of dimethyl methylphosphonate (dmmp) on znoby gaussisn 98 program. the calculated rotational constants by b3lyp/6-31g(d) are in moreagreement with the experi...

An oscillatory molecular adsorption pattern of the protein neutravidin from aqueous solution onto gold, in presence of a pre-deposited self assembled mono-molecular biotin film, is reported. Real time surface Plasmon resonance sensing was utilized for evaluation of the adsorption kinetics. Two different fractions were identified: in the initial phase, protein molecules attach irreversibly onto ...
