Abstract
Dissolved gas analysis (DGA) in transformer oil is an effective method to monitor the operating status of transformers. Based on fundamental principles, the adsorption behavior of decomposed gases from transformer oil (CO, CH4, C2H2, C2H4, and C2H6) on intrinsic and Rh-doped VSe2 monolayers is examined. The adsorption structure, adsorption energy, charge transfer, density of state, electron density difference, work function, and desorption properties are discussed to evaluate the potential applications of VSe2 monolayers as scavengers and gas-sensing materials for transformer oil decomposed gases. The results show that Rh dopant can be stably adsorbed on the surface of VSe2 monolayer, and the minimum binding energy is −4.957 eV. The adsorption behavior of oil-dissolved gases on the intrinsic VSe2 monolayer is weak. The sensing performance of VSe2 monolayer for oil-dissolved gas molecules is significantly enhanced after the introduction of Rh dopant. The sensing performance of Rh-VSe2 monolayer for CO, C2H2, C2H4 and C2H6 gases is stronger than that of CH4. Furthermore, in order to improve the applicability of the Rh doped VSe2 monolayer for the detection of oil-dissolved gases molecules. The effect of electric field on the sensing properties of gas molecules on Rh doped VSe2 monolayers is also investigated. Finally, the desorption performance of the system is evaluated based on the transition state theory and Van’t-Hoff-Arrhenius expression. The findings of the study not only disclose the method by which the Rh doped VSe2 monolayer detects the breakdown gasses in transformer oil, but they also offer theoretical recommendations for the advancement of VSe2-based sensors and scavengers.
