Master’s thesis Nanotechnology: Quantum simulation of the adsorption of toxic gases on the surface of borophene

In this study, the adsorption configuration, adsorption energy of toxic gas molecules (CO, NO, CO2, NH3, and NO2) on B12 – borophene was investigated by first – principle calculations using three van der Waals correlation functionals: RevPBE-vdW, optPBE-vdW, and vdW-DF2.
