Abstract
Abstract We examined the structural characteristics and electronic properties of various transition metals (Pd, Pt, Ag, and Au) adsorption on the SnS2 monolayers and elucidated their possibility for utilization in next generation electronic devices. Our obtained results confirmed the strong interactions between the different noble metal adatoms and the hollow site of SnS2 monolayers. Our calculated binding energies suggested that the noble metal adsorbed SnS2 monolayers are energetically stable. The electronic properties analysis demonstrated that the electronic charges were drastically distributed over the adsorbed noble metal adatoms. Moreover, among all noble metal adatoms, embedded Pd atom has the strongest interaction with SnS2 monolayers because of its higher binding energy. In contrast, the weakest interaction corresponds to the embedding of Au adatom on the surface. Our calculated results propose new routes for the design and the development of highly talented noble metal embedded SnS2 based 2D materials.
