A theoretical study of atmospheric pollutant NO₂ on as-doped monolayer WS₂ based on DFT method

For the relevant properties of pristine and doped (Si, P, Se, Te, As) monolayer WS₂ before and after the adsorption of CO, CO₂, N₂, NO, NO₂ and O₂, density functional theory (DFT) calculations are made. Calculation results reveal that the monolayer WS₂ doped with P and As atoms...

Groundwater–surface water interactions, vegetation dependencies and implications for water resources management in the semi-arid Hailiutu River catchment, China – a synthesis

During the last decades, large-scale land use changes took place in the Hailiutu River catchment, a semi-arid area in northwest China. These changes had significant impacts on the water resources in the area. Insights into groundwater and surface water interactions and vegetation-water dependencies help to understand these impacts and formulate...
