Abstract
Quantum chemical density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed to investigate the adsorption of arsine (AsH3) gaseous substance at the surface of representative models of boron nitride (B16N16), aluminum nitride (Al16N16), and silicon carbide (Si16C16) fullerene-like nanocages. The results indicated that the adsorption processes of AsH3 could be taken place by each of B16N16, Al16N16, and Si16C16 nanocages. Moreover, the electronic molecular orbital properties indicated that the electrical conductivity of nanocages were changed after the adsorption processes enabling them to be used for sensor applications. To analyze the strength of interacting models, the quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM) was employed. As a typical achievement of this work, it could be mentioned that the investigated Si16C16 fullerene-like nanocage could work as a suitable adsorbent for the AsH3 gaseous substance proposing gas-sensor role for the Si16C16 fullerene-like nanocage.

Abstract
The hydrogen storage performances of novel graphene nanoflakes doped with Cr atoms were systematically investigated using first-principles density functional theory. The calculated results showed that one Cr atom could be successfully doped into the graphene nanoflake with a binding energy of −4.402 eV. Different from the H2 molecule moving away from the pristine graphene nanoflake surface, the built Cr-doped graphene nanoflake exhibited a high affinity to the H2 molecule with a chemical adsorption energy of −0.574 eV. Moreover, the adsorptions of two to five H2 molecules on the Cr-doped graphene nanoflake were studied as well. It was found that there were a maximum of three H2 molecules stored on the graphene nanoflake doped with one Cr atom. Also, the further calculations showed that the numbers of the stored H2 molecules were effectively improved to be six (or nine) when the graphene nanoflakes were doped with two (or three) Cr atoms. This research reveals that the graphene nanoflake doped with Cr atom could be a promising material to store H2 molecules and its H2 storage performance could be effectively enhanced through modifying the number of doped Cr atoms. Our study reveals that the H2 storage performance of a graphene nanoflake based material could be significantly enhanced through doping with Cr atoms.![]()
