Interaction of NH₃ gas on α-MoO₃ nanostructures — a DFT investigation

The structural stability, electronic properties and NH₃ adsorption properties of pristine, Ti, Zr and F substituted α-MoO₃ nanostructures are successfully studied using density functional theory with B3LYP/LanL2DZ basis set. The structural stability of α-MoO₃ nanostructures is discussed in terms o...

Резюме:The structural stability, electronic properties and NH₃ adsorption properties of pristine, Ti, Zr and F substituted α-MoO₃ nanostructures are successfully studied using density functional theory with B3LYP/LanL2DZ basis set. The structural stability of α-MoO₃ nanostructures is discussed in terms of formation energy. The electronic properties of pristine, Ti, Zr and F incorporated α-MoO₃ nanostructures are discussed in terms of HOMO-LUMO gap, ionization potential and electron affinity. α-MoO₃ nanostructures can be fine-tuned with suitable substitution impurity to improve the adsorption characteristics of ammonia, which can be used to detect NH3 in a mixed environment. The present work gives an insight into tailoring α-MoO₃ nanostructures for NH₃ detection.
