Data for: "Theoretical and Experimental Studies of Molecular Interactions Between Engineered Graphene and Phosphate Ions for Graphene-Based Phosphate Sensing"

<p dir="ltr">This dataset contains optimised atomic structures of phosphate species (H₃PO₄, H₂PO₄^-, HPO₄^2-, PO₄^3-) adsorbed on pristine, curved and oxygenated graphene. The data are the CONTCAR files (output coordinates) produced by density functional calculations using VASP software.</p><p dir="ltr">File naming system: {P}-{G}.vasp</p><p dir="ltr">Where {P} is the phosphate species (PO4, HPO4, H2PO4, H3PO4) and {G} is the pristine or functionalised graphene species (G, GC-arm, GC-zig, GV, GV-O, GO-epo, GOH-ortho, GOH-ortho2, GOH-para).</p><p dir="ltr">A detailed description and discussion of the data, including methodology, can be found in the following peer-reviewed article: Yong, X. et al, ACS Appl. Nano Mater. 2024, 7, 18386−18397, 10.1021/acsanm.3c04147. The work was supported by the Natural Environment Research Council (Grant NE/T010924/1).</p>
