    Abstract

    Understanding the interaction mechanisms of hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) with graphene is important in developing graphene-based sensors for gas detection and removal. In this study, the effects of doped Fe atom on interaction of H 2 S with graphene were investigated by density functional theory calculations. Analyses of adsorption energy, electron density difference, and density of states indicated that the doped Fe atom can significantly improve the interaction of H 2 S gas molecules with graphene, as well as Pt-doped graphene. The location of the sulfur atom is important in the interactions between H 2 S and Fe-doped graphene. The influence of the FeS distance can be very weak within a certain distance, as simulated in this study.
