TL;DR
This study uses computational methods to show that a 1T-MnO2 monolayer can effectively adsorb toxic metals cadmium and lead.
Contribution
The paper identifies the most favorable adsorption site and energy for Cd and Pb on 1T-MnO2 using first-principles calculations.
Findings
The PMn site is the most energetically favorable for Cd and Pb adsorption on 1T-MnO2.
Pb has a significantly higher adsorption energy (−5.918 eV) compared to Cd (−0.883 eV) on the monolayer.
The 1T-MnO2 monolayer is thermodynamically, mechanically, and dynamically stable.
Abstract
Manganese dioxide is a material with varied and interesting applications, especially including energy storage, the elimination of organic contaminants, and the removal of toxic atoms and molecules that pollute the environment. In this paper, the adsorption of toxic atoms of cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) on the surface of a 1T-MnO2 monolayer is investigated using first-principles calculations. The calculated values of the adsorption energy show that the most energetically favorable site for the Cd and Pb atoms is PMn. This occurs when a Cd or Pb atom is located just above a Mn atom, with adsorption energies of −0.883 eV and −5.918 eV, respectively. The charge transfer in the 1T-MnO2 adsorbate/monolayer interaction is determined via the Bader charge. Additionally, the thermodynamic, mechanical, and dynamic stability of a pristine 1T-MnO2 monolayer is determined through calculations of the…
