Fig. 6. Results of DFT calculations.
a Three in-layer adsorption sites, shown for H-PHI with two heptazine units. b Adsorption of ammonium on Na-PHI with Hads = ‒72.48 kJ mol−1 (top) and H-PHI with Hads = ‒71.46 kJ mol−1 (blue spheres represent nitrogen, gray ones sodium, black ones carbon and white ones hydrogen atoms). Source data are provided as a Source data file. c Adsorption energies of hydrogen and ammonium in Na-PHI and H-PHI with respect to the number of heptazine units. Hads < 0 means that adsorption is a spontaneous process, while desorption in uphill. When Hads > 0—PHI does not bind hydrogen atom, while desorption is a spontaneous process.
