We present the results of ab initio calculations of gas adsorption processes on graphene. Static density functional theory framework is used to obtain adsorption energies of several species on a Stone-Wales defected graphene monolayer. The Van der Waals interaction is taken into account by a semi-empirical correction. Sites closer to the defect are found to induce stronger adsorption compared to sites further away, where the graphene crystal structure is intact. The Car-Parrinello ab initio molecular dynamics simulations are performed at high temperatures. CH₃ is found to be stably physisorbed or chemisorbed at 300 K.
