Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Physical Chemistry
  • Computational Chemistry

Background:

  • Graphene oxide (GO) is a promising material for various applications due to its unique properties.
  • Understanding the adsorption behavior of organic molecules on GO is crucial for optimizing its use.
  • The influence of GO's oxidation state and surrounding ions on adsorption is not fully understood.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the adsorption of aniline molecules onto graphene oxide (GO) using molecular simulations.
  • To examine the impact of GO oxidation level and the presence of sodium chloride (NaCl) and sodium iodide (NaI) on aniline adsorption.
  • To analyze the effect of oxidation and salt on the interfacial water layer.

Main Methods:

  • Molecular dynamics simulations were employed to model the adsorption process.
  • The study considered varying degrees of graphene oxide reduction (oxidation level).
  • The influence of sodium chloride and sodium iodide on the adsorption dynamics was simulated.

Main Results:

  • Aniline exhibited a slightly higher affinity for the reduced graphene oxide-water interface compared to the oxidized form, without added salt.
  • The presence of iodide ions enhanced aniline molecule affinity on reduced GO but decreased it on more-oxidized GO.
  • Both GO oxidation and salt presence significantly affected the structure of the interfacial water layer.

Conclusions:

  • The adsorption of aniline on graphene oxide is sensitive to both the material's oxidation state and the type of halide ions present.
  • Iodide ions play a differential role in modulating aniline adsorption based on graphene oxide's reduction level.
  • These findings provide insights into the interfacial interactions governing organic molecule adsorption on graphene oxide, relevant for material design and application.
