Problem in functionalization of rgo
« on: December 19, 2019, 05:33 »
I am trying to functionalize rgo nanosheet with OH group however on performing geometry optimization it is moving away by breaking the bond. Please help. Also my nanosheet looks different from those in reported papers. Is something wrong with my structure?

The CP2K/scc DFTB method you use is perhaps not so suitable for this, I would use DFT. And you might need to add van der Waals interactions too.
