Adsorption energy of oxygen molecules on graphene and two-dimensional tungsten disulfide
Abstract Adsorption of gas molecules on the surface of atomically layered two-dimensional (2D) materials, including graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides, can significantly affect their electrical and optical properties. Therefore, a microscopic and quantitative understanding of the mechanis...
