Article Description

Based on the first-principles method, we theoretically analyze the Rh-embedded PtSe 2 (Rh-PtSe 2 ) monolayer as a potential gas sensor in this paper, for detection of CO and HCHO in the dry-type reactor to evaluate its operation status. The Rh-embedding behavior is performed by substituting a Se atom at the topmost Se layer of the pristine PtSe 2 monolayer, and we find that the Rh atom can be stably and energy-favorably embedded in the PtSe 2 monolayer with the formation energy ( E form ) of −0.53 eV. Chemisorption is identified for the CO and HCHO system, with the adsorption energy ( E ad ) as −1.89 and −1.05 eV, respectively. The electronic property analysis reveals that the Rh-PtSe 2 monolayer can be a promising resistance-type sensor or a field-effect transistor sensor for detection of two gas species, with good sensing response or selectivity. This theoretical work can pave the way to further investigate the sensing application of Rh-PtSe 2 monolayer upon toxic gases in the dry-type reactors, and related experimental research can verify our findings and to confirm that Rh-PtSe 2 monolayer is a promising sensing candidate to evaluate the operation status of the dry-type reactors in the power system.
