Gas adsorption capability of some polar and nonpolar analytes on the surface of the two-dimensional, 2D, VCTx MXene is investigated using first-principles density functional calculations. Also, the effects of surface functionalization on the electronic properties and gas adsorption of VC MXene are discussed. Results show that, oxygen and hydroxyl surface groups as the main contributors provide the active sites for gas adsorption. Released adsorption energy suggests that gas sensor capability of the VCT MXenes can be enhanced in the presence of water molecule as well as high (low) contents of oxygen and hydroxyl (fluorine) surface functional groups. Among the studied analytes, the VCT with all three surface termination contents shows the highest response toward the CHNH. Remarkably the VC(OH)0.33F0.05O0.61 plus HO molecule, S3, can interact chemically (physically) with the H (CH) gas molecule. Furthermore, CHOH, CHO and CHOH analytes are adsorbed physically on the MXene with all three surface contents. Remarkably, the S3 exhibits the lowest and highest work function, when the H and HS molecules are absorbed, respectively. The numerical results may be useful to engineer and design gas sensors and nano-devices based on 2D MXenes.
