▎ 摘　　要

Motivated by the photocatalytic reactions of small molecules on g-C3N4 by these insights, we sought to explore the adsorption of H2O and CO2 molecules on the graphene side and H2O, H-2, O-2, CO, NO, and CO2 molecules on the g-C3N4 side of hybrid g-C3N4/graphene nanocomposite using first-principles calculations. The atomic structure and electronic properties of hybrid g-C3N4/graphene nanocomposite is explored. The adsorption of small molecules on graphene/g-C3N4 nanocomposite is thoroughly investigated. The computational studies revels that all small molecules on graphene/g-C3N4 nanocomposite are the physisorption. The adsorption characteristics of H2O and CO2 molecules on the graphene side are similar to that on graphene. The adsorption of H2O, H-2, O-2, CO, NO, and CO2 molecules on the g-C3N4 side always leads to a buckle structure of graphene/g-C3N4 nanocomposite. Graphene as a substrate can significantly relax the buckle degree of g-C3N4 in g-C3N4/graphene nanocomposite. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
