Hydrogen adsorption on two-dimensional germanene and its structural defects: an ab initio investigation
Literature Information
Tran Thi Thu Hanh, Nguyen Minh Phi, Nguyen Van Hoa
Herein, the adsorption of hydrogen on pristine germanene was studied using ab initio calculations. By performing a converged density functional theory calculation, we have found the nearly degenerate nature of hydrogen at the top sites HT1 and HT2, among which HT1 is the most stable site. The adsorption of a hydrogen atom on germanene led to local structural changes in germanene. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study on the investigation of the localized surface curvature and zero-point energy of hydrogen for 2D germanene. Moreover, we demonstrated the properties of germanene defects via the four obtained defects: the Stone–Wales (55-77), divacancy (77-555-6), divacancy (555-7), and pentagon–heptagon linear (5-7) defect. The lowest formation energy of the pentagon–heptagon linear defect is shown for the first time in this study.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
