DOI: 10.1016/j.apsusc.2019.02.021
Abstract: Abstract Ion bombardment on graphene sheets can produce atomic vacancies that can trap metal atoms. In this paper, we demonstrated that these trapped metal atoms can effectively bind other molecules with heteroatoms, making them chemisorbed… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jtice.2020.11.022
Abstract: Abstract β-cyclodextrins (β-CDs) are able to trap and hydrolyze certain nerve agents such as sarin. Herein, we studied the host-guest interactions of sarin with β-CD by performing quantum mechanical (QM) calculations and molecular dynamics (MD)… read more here.
