CH₂O is a common toxic gas molecule that can cause asthma and dermatitis in humans. In this study the adsorption behaviors of the CH₂O adsorbed on the boron nitride (BN), aluminum nitride (AlN), gallium nitride (GaN), indium nitride (InN), boron phosphide (BP), and phosphorus (P) monolayers were investigated using the first-principles method, and potential materials that could be used for detecting CH₂O were identified. The gas adsorption energies, charge transfers and electronic properties of the gas adsorption systems have been calculated to study the gas adsorption behaviors of CH₂O on these single-layer materials. The electronic characteristics of these materials, except for the BP monolayer, were observed to change after CH₂O adsorption. For CH₂O on the BN, GaN, BP, and P surfaces, the gas adsorption behaviors were considered to follow a physical trend, whereas CH₂O was chemically adsorbed on the AlN and InN monolayers. Given their large gas adsorption energies and high charge transfers, the AlN, GaN, and InN monolayers are potential materials for CH₂O detection using the charge transfer mechanism.
甲醛(CH₂O)是一种常见的有毒气体分子,可导致人类患哮喘和皮炎。在本研究中,采用第一性原理方法研究了甲醛在氮化硼(BN)、氮化铝(AlN)、氮化镓(GaN)、氮化铟(InN)、磷化硼(BP)和磷(P)单层上的吸附行为,并确定了可用于检测甲醛的潜在材料。计算了气体吸附系统的气体吸附能、电荷转移和电子性质,以研究甲醛在这些单层材料上的气体吸附行为。观察到除BP单分子层外,这些材料在吸附甲醛后的电子特性发生了变化。对于甲醛在BN、GaN、BP和P表面的吸附,认为气体吸附行为遵循物理趋势,而甲醛化学吸附在AlN和InN单分子层上。鉴于AlN、GaN和InN单分子层具有较大的气体吸附能和较高的电荷转移,它们是利用电荷转移机制检测甲醛的潜在材料。
