SO2 sensing performance of silicon substitutional doped (8,0) carbon nanotube: A density functional theory study by Poonam Parkar, Ajay Chaudhari, Mahadev Rangnath Sonawane, Balasaheb Jijaba Nagare

“…Molecular orbital analysis supports these findings, showing that the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) is localized on the Si-CNT, while the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) is predominantly located on the SO₂ molecule. Fukui function calculations further show that silicon atom plays a pivotal role by donating electrons to both, the adjacent carbon atoms and the SO₂ molecule. …”
