▎ 摘  要

The electronic structure and optical properties of adsorbing O atoms on graphene with different O coverage are researched using the density functional theory based upon the first-principle study to obtain further insight into properties of graphene. The adsorption energies, band structures, the density of states, light absorption coefficient and reflectivity of each system are calculated theoretically after optimizing structures of each system with different O coverage. Our calculations show that adsorption of O atoms on graphene increases the bond length of C-C which adjacent to the O atoms. When the O coverage is 9.4%, the adsorption energy (3.91 eV) is the maximum, which only increases about 1.6% higher than that of 3.1% O coverage. We find that adsorbed O atoms on pristine graphene opens up indirect gap of about 0.493-0.952 eV. Adsorbing O atoms make pristine graphene from metal into a semiconductor. When the O coverage is 9.4%, the band gap (0.952 eV) is the maximum. Comparing with pristine graphene, we find the density of states at Fermi level of O atoms adsorbing on graphene with different coverage are significantly increased. We also find that light absorption coefficient and reflectivity peaks are significantly reduced, and the larger the coverage, the smaller the absorption coefficient and reflectivity peaks are. And the blue shift phenomenon appears.
