    Abstract: This study uses first-principles DFT to investigate the regulatory mechanism of Cr doping on C3N2 monolayer adsorption of CH4, CO2, and C2N2. Results show Cr atoms stably incorporate into C3N2 pore sites (binding energy: -4.26 eV), altering electronic properties via Cr-3d/N-2p hybridization. Adsorption analyses reveal selective capture: C2N2 shows ... Show More
