Original Abstract

Recent experiments related to a study concerning the adsorption of water on graphene have demonstrated the p-doping of graphene, although most of the ab initio calculations predict nearly zero doping. To shed more light on this problem, we have carried out van der Waals density functional theory calculations of water on graphene for both individual water molecules and continuous water layers with coverage ranging from one to eight monolayers. Furthermore, we have paid attention to the influence of the water molecule orientation toward graphene on its doping properties. In this article, we present the results of the band structure and the Bader charge analysis, showing the p-doping of graphene can be synergistically enhanced by putting 4-8 layers of an ice-like water structure on graphene having the water molecules oriented with oxygen atoms toward graphene.
