研究目的
To detect the presence of phosgene in trace levels using a phosphorene nanosheet device through first-principles computational methods.
研究成果
The phosphorene nanosheet effectively detects phosgene gas through changes in electronic properties, adsorption energy, charge transfer, and current-voltage characteristics. It shows promise as a chemosensor for COCl2 detection, with future potential for experimental implementation and optimization.
研究不足
The study is computational and based on simulations, not experimental validation. It may not account for real-world environmental factors such as temperature variations, humidity, or other interfering gases. The recovery time for desorption is noted to be long for certain adsorption sites, which could limit practical sensor applications.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study employs Non-Equilibrium Green’s function (NEGF) and density functional theory (DFT) methods using the SIESTA package, specifically the TranSIESTA module. The Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof (PBE) exchange-correlation functional and generalized gradient approximation (GGA) are used for electron interaction analysis, with van der Waals dispersion correction included.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The base material is a phosphorene nanosheet, and the target gas is phosgene (COCl2). The system is modeled with vacuum padding of 20 ? along x and y axes to avoid periodic image interactions.

4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The phosphorene nanosheet is divided into left electrode, scattering region, and right electrode. Adsorption of COCl2 in three orientations (C atom, Cl atom, O atom adsorbed) is studied. Formation energy, energy band gap, density of states, device density of states, transmission spectrum, and V-I characteristics are computed. Atomic forces are minimized to
