We study numerically the adsorption of a mixture of CO$_2$ and CH$_4$ on a graphite substrate covered by graphene nanoribbons (NRs). The NRs are flat and parallel to the graphite surface, at a variable distance ranging from 6 r{A} to 14 r{A}. We show that the NRs-graphite substrate acts as an effective filter for CO$_2$. Our study is based on Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations. Methane is considered a spherical molecule, and carbon dioxide is represented as a linear rigid body. Graphite is modeled as a continuous material, while the NRs are approached atomistically. We observe that when the NRs are placed 6 r{A} above the graphite surface, methane is blocked out, while CO$_2$ molecules can diffuse and be collected in between the NRs and the graphite surface. Consequently, the selectivity of CO$_2$ is extremely high. We also observe that the initial rate of adsorption of CO$_2$ is much higher than CH$_4$. Overall we show that the filter can be optimized by controlling the gap between NRs and the NRs-graphite separation.
We determine, by means of density functional theory, the stability and the structure of graphene nanoribbon (GNR) edges in presence of molecules such as oxygen, water, ammonia, and carbon dioxide. As in the case of hydrogen-terminated nanoribbons, we
Nano-materials, such as metal-organic frameworks, have been considered to capture CO$_2$. However, their application has been limited largely because they exhibit poor selectivity for flue gases and low capture capacity under low pressures. We perfor
We investigate the spatial coarse-graining of interactions in host-guest systems within the framework of the recently proposed Interacting Pair Approximation (IPA). Basically, the IPA method derives local effective interactions from the knowledge of
We derive the generalized magneto-absorption spectra for curved graphene nanorib- bons and carbon nanotubes by using the Peierls tight-binding model. The main spectral characteristics and the optical selection rules result from the cooperative or com
Three typical one-dimensional (1D)/quasi-1D nanocarbons, linear carbon chains, carbon nanotubes, and graphene nanoribbons have been proven to grow inside single-wall carbon nanotubes. This gives rise to three types of hybrid materials whose behaviour
