摘要

This study explores the structural, electronic, and adsorption properties of silicon carbide nanoribbons with armchair and zigzag edges (SiC-NRAZ) for the removal of isoquinoline (IQ) from water. The optimized nanoribbon structures exhibit stable geometries, with minor variations in bond lengths and angles upon functionalization with CHO and COOH groups. Binding energy calculations confirm the stability of pristine and functionalized SiC-NRAZ, ensuring their feasibility for adsorption applications. Electronic structure analysis reveals a tunable highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO)–lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) gap, which decreases with Z-edge modifications and functionalization, enhancing charge transfer interactions with IQ molecules. Non-covalent interaction (NCI) analysis highlights the dominant role of van der Waals forces in IQ adsorption. Recovery studies demonstrate that functionalized SiC-NRAZ maintain their adsorption efficiency over multiple cycles, ensuring reusability. Optical studies indicate shifts in absorption spectra upon functionalization, suggesting improved adsorption capabilities. Adsorption studies confirm strong interactions between IQ and functionalized SiC-NRAZ, validating their potential for water purification.
