The adsorption profile was determined based on the van der Waals functional optPBE-vdW and the charge transfer between isopropanol and silicence was calculated by Bader charge analysis method. In the defected silicene Si vacancy preferably forms on the lower layer of the bulking structure. As a Si vacancy is introduced silicene exhibits a metallic behaviour with zero bandgap. Due to the losing electron of the defected silicene isopropanol is adsorbed on the surface with the most favourable adsorption configuration in which oxygen atom towards the surface of silicene. Isopropanol adsorption on the defected silicene opens a tunnelling gap resulting in the milli-gap characteristics of the adsorbed silicene system. The adsorption profile of this volatile organic compound on the defected silicene implies the physics adsorption characteristics. The adsorption energy for isopropanol was found to be eV. In addition the charge transfer of electron was obtained. Keywords Adsorption Silicene DFT theory Defect isopropanol Volatile Organic Compound. 1.
