The adsorption of toxic gas molecules (CO, CO2, NO2) on silicene, germanene and stanene: A first principles study

The adsorption of toxic gas molecules on Xenes (X = Si, Ge, Sn) has been studied by density functional theory (DFT). The optimized adsorption site of the adsorbates (CO, CO2, NO2) on Xenes (X = Si, Ge, Sn), the corresponding adsorption energies, band gap, band structure, and density of states of silicene, germanene, and stanene are discussed.
