The potential of zero charge (E-pzc), was also determined for evaluation of the adsorption mechanism. Quantum chemical parameters such as highest occupied molecular orbital energy (E-Homo), lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy (E-Lumo), energy gap (Delta E), dipole moment (mu) etc. were calculated using density functional theory (DFT) at B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) level. Theoretical and experimental results were in fairly good agreement. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd.
