The adsorption energies and orientation of methanol on graphene are determined from first-principles density functional calculations. We employ the well-tested vdW-DF method that seamlessly includes dispersion interactions with all of the more close-ranged interactions that result in bonds like the covalent and hydrogen bonds. The adsorption of a single methanol molecule and small methanol clusters on graphene are studied at various coverages. Adsorption in clusters or at high coverages (less than a monolayer) is found to be preferable, with the methanol C-O axis approximately parallel to the plane of graphene. The adsorption energies calculated with vdW-DF are compared with previous DFT-D and MP2-based calculations for single methanol adsorption on flakes of graphene (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons). For the high coverage adsorption energies we also find reasonably good agreement with previous desorption measurements.

We perform first-principles structure optimization, phonon frequency and finite temperature molecular dynamics calculations based on density functional theory to study the interaction of chlorine atoms with graphene predicting the existence of possib
le chlorinated graphene derivatives. The bonding of a single chlorine atom is ionic through the transfer of charge from graphene to chlorine adatom and induces negligible local distortion in the underlying planar graphene. Different from hydrogen and fluorine adatoms, the migration of a single chlorine adatom on the surface of perfect graphene takes place almost without barrier. However, the decoration of one surface of graphene with Cl adatoms leading to various conformations cannot sustain due to strong Cl-Cl interaction resulting in the desorption through the formation of Cl$_2$ molecules. On the contrary, the fully chlorinated graphene, chlorographene CCl, where single chlorine atoms are bonded alternatingly to each carbon atom from different sides of graphene with $sp^3$-type covalent bonds, is buckled. We found that this structure is stable and is a direct band gap semiconductor, whose band gap can be tuned by applied uniform strain. Calculated phonon dispersion relation and four Raman-active modes of chlorographene are discussed.
In order to realize applications of hydrogen-adsorbed graphene, a main issue is how to control hydrogen adsorption/desorption at room temperature. In this study, we demonstrate the possibility to tune hydrogen adsorption on graphene by applying a gat
e voltage. The influence of the gate voltage on graphene and its hydrogen adsorption properties was investigated by electrical transport measurements, scanning tunneling microscopy, and density functional theory calculations. We show that more hydrogen adsorbs on graphene with negative gate voltage (p-type doping), compared to that without gate voltage or positive gate voltage (n-type doping). Theoretical calculations explain the gate voltage dependence of hydrogen adsorption as modifications of the adsorption energy and diffusion barrier of hydrogen on graphene by charge doping.
In this paper, we investigate the adsorption of water monomer on fluorinated graphene using state-of-the-art first principles methods within the framework of density functional theory (DFT). Four different methods are employed to describe the interac
tions between water and the carbon surface: The traditional DFT calculations within the generalized gradient approximation (GGA), and three types of calculations using respectively the semi-empirical DFT-D2method, the original van der Waals density functional (vdW-DF) method, and one of its variants. Compared with the adsorption on pristine graphene, the adsorption energies of water on fluorinated graphene are significantly increased, and the orientations of water diploe moment are notably changed. The most stable configuration is found to stay right above the top site of the C atom which is bonded with F, and the dipole moment of water molecule aligns spontaneously along the surface normal.
We report our results on the adsorption of noble gases such as argon, krypton and xenon on a graphene sheet, using Grand Canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) simulations. We calculated the two-dimensional gas-liquid critical temperature for each adsorbate, r
esulting in fair agreement with theoretical predictions and experimental values of gases on graphite. We determined the different phases of the monolayers and constructed the phase diagrams. We found two-dimensional incommensurate solid phases for krypton, argon and xenon, and a two-dimensional commensurate solid phase for krypton.
The adsorption and diffusion of F2 molecules on pristine graphene have been studied using first-principles calculations. For the diffusion of F2 from molecular state in gas phase to the dissociative adsorption state on graphene surface, a kinetic bar
rier is identified, which explains the inertness of graphene in molecular F2 at room temperature, and its reactivity with F2 at higher temperatures. Studies on the diffusion of F2 molecules on graphene surface determine the energy barriers along the optimal diffusion pathways, which help to understand the high stability of fluorographene.
