We report first-principles calculations on the structural, mechanical, and electronic properties of O2 molecule adsorption on different graphenes (including pristine graphene (G–O2), N(nitrogen)/B(boron)-doped graphene (G–N/B–O2), and defective graphene (G–D–O2)) under equibiaxial strain. Our calculation results reveal that G–D–O2 possesses the highest binding energy, indicating that it owns the highest stability. Moreover, the stabilities of the four structures are enhanced enormously by the compressive strain larger than 2%. In addition, the band gaps of G–O2 and G–D–O2 exhibit direct and indirect transitions. Our work aims to control the graphene-based structure and electronic properties via strain engineering, which will provide implications for the application of new elastic semiconductor devices.

The adsorption of methane (CH4) molecule on the pristine and Al-doped (4, 8) graphene was investigated via the first-principles calculations. The results demonstrated that, in comparison to the adsorption of a CH4molecule on the pristine graphene sheet, a relatively stronger adsorption was observed between the CH4molecule and Al-doped graphene with a shorter adsorption distance, larger binding energy and more charge-transfer from the graphene surface to the CH4molecule. Therefore, the Al-doped graphene can be expected to be a novel sensor for the detection of CH4molecules in future applications.
