| Abstract | Understanding the adsorption behavior of chemical pollutant molecules on graphene surfaces is of both fundamental and practical importance for the application of graphene in environmental analysis. In this work, the mechanism and thermodynamics of adsorption of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) on graphene surfaces were studied by density functional theory and molecular dynamics methods. Nine types of PBDE molecules with different degrees of bromination and diphenyl ether (DE) molecules were selected as the adsorbates. It was found that the interaction strengths between the PBDE congeners (without 6 and 6′-substitution) and graphene increased with the degree of bromination. The adsorption energies of these systems also exhibited a positive linear correlation with the hydrophobicity of PBDE molecules, while for the other three PBDEs with 6 or 6′-substitution, the steric-hindrance effect leads to the molecules forming single π–π stacking interactions with the graphene surface and exhibiting a different adsorption behavior. The electronic density of states, charge transfer analysis and thermodynamic analysis indicated that the adsorption process of PBDEs on graphene is physisorption. The MD simulation indicates that graphene is sensitive to PBDE molecules and the adsorption process of PBDE on graphene is very fast. These findings will contribute to the understanding of the adsorption chemistry of aromatic pollutants on graphene-like nanomaterials. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
