description <p dir="ltr">In this work, four armchair graphene nanoribbon (AGNR) based sensor materials were built using Atomistic ToolKit Virtual NanoLab (ATK-VNL) and utilized to detect carbon monoxide (CO) and carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>) gases. First, the effect of passivating AGNR on the sensing performance toward CO and CO<sub>2</sub> gases has been investigated, where AGNR was passivated with hydrogen (H-AGNR) and nitrogen (N-AGNR). The obtained results reflected no significant changes in the adsorption parameters of CO and CO<sub>2 </sub>molecules on H-AGNR and NAGNR. Particularly, the adsorption energies between H-AGNR and N-AGNR systems and CO were found to be − 0.446 and − 0.436 eV, while for the case of CO<sub>2</sub>, the adsorption energies were found to be − 0.426 and − 0.432 eV, respectively. To enhance the sensing performance, both H-AGNR and N-AGNR systems were doped with platinum (Pt) forming another two systems: Pt–H-AGNR, and Pt–N-AGNR. After doping, the results revealed a significant increase in the adsorption energy to almost 9 times than the non-doped systems for the cases of CO on Pt–N-AGNR as well as CO<sub>2</sub> on both Pt–H-AGNR and Pt–N-AGNR. Moreover, an increase of almost 13 times was observed in the adsorption energy for the case of CO on Pt–H-AGNR. Besides to the adsorption energy (E<sub>ads</sub>), the adsorption distance ((D), charge transfer (ΔQ), the density of states (DOS), as well as the band structure have been examined to confirm the adsorption of CO and CO<sub>2</sub> on the four systems.</p><h2>Other Information</h2><p dir="ltr">Published in: Physica E: Low-dimensional Systems and Nanostructures<br>License: <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" target="_blank">http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/</a><br>See article on publisher's website: <a href="https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.physe.2020.114418" target="_blank">https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.physe.2020.114418</a></p>
