This study investigates the coordination mechanism and electronic properties of cellulose and cellulose-like materials, such as dried banana peel, in the removal of heavy metals (Cadmium and Copper) from aqueous solutions. Using density functional theory (DFT) at the B3LYP/LANL2DZ level, model molecules of hydrated Cd...

The interfacial electronic structure of biopolymer–metal oxide hybrids determine their stability, yet this structure is still not well understood. Here, we report a density functional theory study of 10 model systems consisting of cellulose and chitosan functionalized with ZnO and V2O5 separately and in ternary combina...

The work uses Density Functional Theory (DFT) with the B3LYP/LANL2DZ method to study the electronic and structural characteristics of Graphene Oxide (GrO) combined with ZnO, Fe₂O₃, and Al₂O₃. The research examines how GrO anchoring sites, including hydroxyl (-OH), epoxy (-O), and carboxyl (-COOH) groups, affect the per...
