abstract = {Detecting hazardous and toxic gasses is important to avoid harmful effects on human health and two-dimensional nanostructures have emerged as candidate materials for sensing or scavenging gasses. The chemical interactions between NO, O2, and N2 gas molecules and Cu-, Ag-, and Au-decorated germanene were investigated by using density functional theory simulations, and the potential applications as gas sensors or scavengers were addressed. Except for O2, the studied molecules were physisorbed on pristine germanene, where the most favorable adsorption site is located at the middle of the lattice hexagon, with adsorption energy values ranging from 0.09 eV for the N2 to 0.49 eV for NO adsorbed through the N atom. The results also show that the studied molecules have larger adsorption energies in Cu-, Ag-, and Au-decorated germanene, with energy values of 0.4 eV for the N2 molecule and 1.04 eV for the NO molecule. Therefore, molecule-metal-germanene complexes are more energetically favorable than the molecule-germanene ones and are thus predicted to have an enhanced sensing capability. The larger NO adsorption energies on Ag- (0.8 eV) and Au- (0.87 eV) decorated germanene, in comparison with those of N2 (around 0.1 eV) and O2 (around 0.37 eV), indicate their good selectivity towards NO. To estimate their potential application as NO sensors in gas-insulated switchgear, we calculated the work function and desorption time of the studied molecules adsorbed on Cu-, Ag-, and Au-decorated germanene, obtaining considerable changes in the work function (around 0.5 eV) between the different molecules adsorbed on Cu-decorated germanene, and recovery times of the order of seconds at a temperature of 400 K. The results suggest that metal-germanene complexes are stable in ambient conditions and they are good candidates for sensing and scavenging nitrogen monoxide.},

abstract = {In this work, the pristine and transition metal (TM)-functionalized germanene are investigated for sensing applications. Firstly, the detection of CO and CO2 molecules by pristine germanene is considered, and the numerical results show that adsorption energy values are in the physisorption range. Then, the adsorption of CO and CO2 molecules on Cu-, Ag-, and Au-functionalized germanene is studied. Results show that germanene functionalization with TM atoms considerably improves the interaction towards CO molecule when bound through the C atom [CO(C)], in the chemisorption range. On the other hand, numerical results show that the germanene sensing capabilities for the CO(O) and CO2 molecules do not improve with TM, these were adsorbed in the physisorption interval. Results suggest that the TM-functionalized germanene can have potential uses in CO sensing.},

abstract = {In this work, we have performed density functional theory-based calculations to study the adsorption of H2 molecules on germanene decorated with alkali atoms (AM) and transition metal atoms (TM). The cohesive energy indicates that interaction between AM (TM) atoms and germanene is strong. The values of the adsorption energies of H2 molecules on the AM or TM atoms are in the range physisorption. The K-decorated germanene has the largest storage capacity, being able to bind up to six H2 molecules, whereas the Au and Na atoms adsorbed five and four H2 molecules, respectively. Li and Ag atoms can bind a maximum of three H2 molecules, while Cu-decorated germanene only adsorbed one H2 molecule. Formation energies show that all the studied cases of H2 molecules adsorbed on AM and TM atom-decorated germanene are energetically favorable. These results indicate that decorated germanene can serve as a hydrogen storage system.},
