This study investigated the adsorption and sensing performance of dopamine (DA), epinephrine (EP), norepinephrine (NE), and catechol (CA) on pristine and carboxyl-functionalized biphenylene nanotubes (BPNT and FBPNT) using density functional theory. Pristine BPNT showed weak interactions with the analytes, indicated by low adsorption energies and minimal changes in the frontier molecular orbitals energy gap. In contrast, carboxyl functionalization enhanced the nanotube's electronic activity and interactions with the target molecules. FBPNT-DA exhibited the best balance of adsorption strength and recoverability, with a notable change in the frontier molecular orbitals gap and moderate recovery time at room temperature. EP and NE demonstrated stronger interactions, leading to stable complexes, while CA had weaker binding and faster desorption. Analyses confirmed hydrogen bonding and charge-transfer interactions, supporting the adsorption mechanism. Overall, carboxyl-functionalized BPNT is a promising and selective candidate for DA sensing applications.
