二维过渡金属硫族化合物由于具有大的比表面积、高的载流子迁移率以及快速响应等特性, 在高性能气体传感器应用方面具有显著优势. 本文通过密度泛函理论计算, 研究了CO, CO2, NH3, NO, NO2气体分子在单层WTe2表面的吸附构型、吸附能、电荷转移、电学及磁学特性. 结果表明, N基气体分子的吸附能小于C基气体分子的吸附能, 说明WTe2对N基气体分子的吸附更敏感. 电荷分析结果表明, NH3气体分子吸附在WTe2表面时表现为给电子体, 而其他四种气体分子都表现为得电子体. 能带结构方面, 与CO, CO2, NH3气体分子相比, 磁性气体分子NO和NO2的吸附在费米能级附近引入了杂质能带, 杂质能带主要来源于O原子和N原子的p轨道. 此外, NO和NO2气体分子分别诱导了0.99 μB和0.80 μB的磁矩. 本文的研究结果为实验上制备基于WTe2的超灵敏气体传感器提供理论指导.Since the discovery of graphene, graphene-based gas sensors have been widely studied, but the inherent zero band gap of graphene limits the response sensitivity of gas sensors. Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are ideal materials for designing nanoscaled highly-sensitive gas sensors due to their moderate band gaps, large surface-to-volume ratios and high carrier mobilities. Tungsten ditelluride (WTe2), as an important member of TMDs family, has outstanding advantages such as high specific surface area, excellent selectivity, and fast response. The WTe2 has quite a high carrier mobility and thus can provide a great response speed for gas sensor compared with graphene, which motivates us to further explore WTe2 as a promising sensing material. Recent studies have reported that monolayered and multilayered WTe2 films have been successfully synthesized, and the precise control of the number of atomic layers of monolayered WTe2 has been achieved. In this work, by density functional theory calculation, we examine the most stable adsorption configuration, adsorption energy, charge transfer, electrical and magnetic properties for each of the gas molecules (CO, CO2, NH3, NO and NO2) adsorbed on WTe2 monolayer. The results show that all the adsorptions of these gas molecules are physical adsorptions, and the adsorption energy of nitrogen-based gas is smaller than that of carbon-based gas, indicating that WTe2 is more sensitive to the adsorption of N-based gas molecules. The adsorption of NH3 behaves as a charge donor with electron obtained from WTe2 monolayer. The adsorption of CO, CO2, NO, and NO2 are charge acceptors, which accept charges from the WTe2 monolayer. Moreover, compared with the adsorption of CO, CO2 and NH3 gas molecules, the adsorption of NO and NO2 gas molecules introduce impurity states near the Fermi level, which are mainly contributed by the N p orbital and O p orbital. In addition, the adsorption of NO and NO2 induce magnetic moments of 0.99 μB and 0.80 μB, respectively. The results obtained in this work not only conduce to further understanding the charge transfer mechanism of gas molecules adsorbed on WTe2 monolayer, but also indicate the promising prospects of developing WTe2-based ultra-sensitivity gas sensing nanodevices.
