The adsorption of SO2, NO2, and NH3 toxic gases on Al24N24 and Al24N23C nanocages was investigated by using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The adsorption energies, frontier orbitals, charge transfer using natural bonding orbital (NBO) analysis, dipole moment, the partial density of states (PDOS), thermodynamic relationships, non-covalent interaction (NCI), and quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM) were considered. The results reveal that carbon-doped Al24N24 nanocage increases the adsorption energies for SO2 and NO2 gases while decreasing the adsorption energy of NH3 gas. The ΔG for all configurations were negative except the configurations A1 and G2 confirming the weak adsorption of these two complexes. In conclusion, Al24N24 and Al24N23C nanocages are in general promising adsorbents for the removal of SO2, NO2, and NH3 toxic gases. The Al24N24 and Al24N23C nanocages are ideal electronic materials.
