摘要

Plumbene, the lead (Pb) counterpart of graphene, has recently had a major impact by broadening the exclusive roster of two-dimensional (2D) materials. Here, we report the CO2 gas sensing performances of pristine, vacancy (Pb-vac), lithium (Li)-doped (Pb− Li), Li-decorated pristine (Pb+ Li), and Li-decorated vacancy (Pb+ vac+Li) plumbene sheets, as calculated using density functional theory (DFT). Our study reveals that the CO2 interaction with pristine and Pb− vac sheets falls in the category of weak physisorption with an interaction energy (Eint) of -16.4 and − 15.4 kJ/mol, respectively. While the Eint of CO2 at Pb− Li, Pb+ Li and Pb− vac+Li sheets are − 27.8, -34.5 and − 32.5 kJ/mol, respectively. The sensing performance is studied through work function, recovery time, electrical conductivity, and sensitivity parameters. All these parameters suggest that Pb− Li is the most favorable plumbene sheet for CO2 gas sensing application due to a suitable work function shift (0.062 eV), a conductivity drop (46.1%), and good recovery time (6.90 × 10− 8 sec).
