Capability of defective graphene-supported Pd13 and Ag13 particles for mercury adsorption

Defective graphene (DG) supported Ag13 and Pd13 nanoparticles acts as sorbents for elementary mercury (Hg0) adsorption. Hg is inert to DG surface, but it moderately adsorbs on deposited Ag13-DG and strongly adsorbs on deposited Pd13-DG.
