Atmospheric pollutants pose a high risk to human health, and therefore it is necessary capture preferably remove them from ambient air. In this work, we investigate the intermolecular interaction between such as CO, CO2, H2S, NH3, NO, NO2, SO2 gases with Zn24 Zn12O12 atomic clusters, using density functional theory (DFT) at meta-hybrid TPSSh LANl2Dz basis set. The adsorption energy of these gas molecules on outer surfaces both types clusters has been calculated found have negative value, indicating strong molecular-cluster interaction. largest observed cluster. general, cluster appears be more effective for adsorbing SO2, NO than Zn12O12, whereas latter preferable NH3. Frontier molecular orbital (FMO) analysis showed that exhibits higher stability upon falling within chemisorption range. shows characteristic decrease in band gap suggesting an increase electrical conductivity. Natural bond (NBO) also suggests presence interactions gases. This was recognized noncovalent, determined by noncovalent (NCI) quantum atoms (QTAIM) analyses. Overall, our results suggest are good candidate species promoting and, thus, can employed different materials and/or systems enhancing or NO2.
