氢在Ni(511)台阶面的吸附与解离研究

The adsorption and dissociation of hydrogen on stepped surface (511) of nickel are studied with the embedded-atom model (EAM) method. The adsorption energy, the length of the adsorption bond and the adsorption height for a single hydrogen atom are calculated. Three kinds of stable sites are found for hydrogen adsorption. There are the double-fold bridge site B on the step edge, the three-fold hollow site H3′ on the step surface and the four-fold hollow sites H1 and H2 on the terrace surface. Compared with a hydrogen atom adsorbed on low-index (001) surface, there are two other adsorption sites near the step: the two-fold bridge site B on the step edge and the three-fold hollow site H3′ on the step surface. At the same time, the absorbability of the hydrogen atom at the site H1 is intensified. The results show that hydrogen adsorption on Ni (511) is affected by the existence of the step. The active barriers, adsorption energy and corresponding bond length for dissociation of a hydrogen molecule on the stepped surface are presented. The results show that the dissociation is easier at the bottom of the step. It is shown that the steps are the active sites for hydrogen adsorption and dissociation.     

Quantum chemical study of adsorption and dissociation of H2S on the gallium-rich GaAs (001)-4 x 2 surface

H(2)S adsorption and dissociation on the gallium-rich GaAs(001)-4 x 2 surface is investigated using hybrid density functional theory. Starting from chemisorbed H(2)S on the GaAs(001)-4 x 2 surface, two possible reaction routes have been proposed. We find that H(2)S adsorbs molecularly onto GaAs(001)-4 x 2 via the formation of a dative bond, and this process is exothermic with adsorption energy of 6.6 kcal/mol. For the first reaction route, one of the H atoms from the chemisorbed H(2)S is transferred to a second-layer As atom and the dissociated SH is inserted into the Ga-As bond with an activation barrier of 8.2 kcal/mol, which is found to be 29.3 kcal/mol more stable than the reactants. For the second case, the dissociated species may insert themselves into the Ga-Ga dimer resulting in the Ga-H-Ga and Ga-HS-Ga bridge-bonded states, which are found to be 29.8 and 22.2 kcal/mol more stable than the reactants, respectively. However, the calculations also show that the activation barrier (16.1 kcal/mol) for chemisorbed H(2)S dissociation through the second route is higher than the transfer of one H atom into a second-layer As atom. As a result, we conclude that sulfur insertion into the Ga-As bond is more kinetically favorable.     

Pd掺杂的Ni催化剂表面CH4解离吸附的理论研究

使用密度泛函理论研究了Pd掺杂的Ni(111),Ni(100)和Ni(211)表面最稳定的结构,同时考察了干净的和Pd掺杂的Ni表面催化CH₄解离反应的活性.结果表明,由Pd原子取代最外层Ni原子而形成的表面Pd掺杂的Ni表面在热力学上最为稳定,亚表面Pd掺杂的Ni表面在热力学上都不稳定; 而对于表面Pd吸附的Ni表面,只有Pd/Ni(211)表面是稳定的.表面掺杂的Pd/Ni表面上CH₄解离中间体(CH₄,CH₃,CH,C,H)吸附能的计算结果表明,Pd的掺杂在不同程度上减弱了除CH₄之外各解离中间体的吸附能.另外,CH₄和CH均优先在Ni(211)和Pd/Ni(211)台阶面上解离,其次是在比较开阔的Ni(100)和Pd/Ni(100)表面上.Pd的掺杂不同程度上提高了CH₄和CH解离的能垒,对于活性最高的Ni(211)面,Pd的掺杂使得CH脱氢的能垒较CH₄脱氢的高,改变了其速率控制步骤,从而抑制了积碳的生成.

Adsorption and dissociation of H2O2 on Pt and Pt-alloy clusters and surfaces

The adsorption of H(2)O(2) on Pt and Pt-M alloys, where M is Cr, Co, or Ni, is investigated using density functional theory. Binding energies calculated with a hybrid DFT functional (B3PW91) are in the range of -0.71 to -0.88 eV for H(2)O(2) adsorbed with one of the oxygen atoms on top Pt positions of Pt(3), Pt(2)M, and PtM(2), and enhanced values in the range of -0.81 to -1.09 eV are found on top Ni and Co sites of the Pt(2)M clusters. Adsorption on top sites of Pt(10) yields a weaker binding of -0.48 eV, whereas on periodic Pt(111) and Pt(3)Co(111) surfaces, H(2)O(2) generally dissociates into two OH radicals. On the other hand, attempts to attach H(2)O(2) on bridge sites cause spontaneous dissociation of H(2)O(2) into two adsorbed OH radicals, suggesting that stable adsorptions on bridge sites are not possible for any of the clusters or extended surfaces that are being studied. We also found that the water-H(2)O(2) interaction reduces the strength of the adsorption of H(2)O(2) on these clusters and surfaces.     

Molecular metal sulfide cluster model for substrate binding to oil-refinery hydrodesulfurization catalysts

Reaction between [(eta5-Cp')3Mo3S4]+ and [Ni(1,5-cod)2] (Cp' = methylcyclopentadienyl; 1,5-cod = 1,5-cyclooctadiene) in THF at ambient temperature yielded a coordinatively unsaturated cubane-like cluster cation, [(eta5-Cp')3Mo3S4Ni]+. The ligand sphere at the Ni atom could be saturated by coordinating dimethyl sulfide, diethyl sulfide, di(tert-butyl) sulfide, tetrahydrothiophene, thiochroman-4-ol, 1,4-dithiane, pyridine, quinoline, or 4,4'-bipyridine. The products structurally model a mode of substrate coordination on proposed binding sites of heterogeneous MoNi sulfide hydrotreating catalysts. No stable coordination compounds could be isolated for thiophene derivatives. X-ray crystal structures are reported for the ligand-bridged dicluster compounds [[(eta5-Cp')3Mo3S4Ni]2(mu-C4H4S2)][pts]2 (C4H8S2 = 1,4-dithiane) and [[(eta5-Cp')3Mo3S4Ni]2(mu-bipy)][pts]2 (bipy = 4,4'-bipyridine).     

Chemisorption and diffusion of hydrogen on surface and subsurface sites of flat and stepped nickel surfaces

Plane-wave density functional theory calculations were performed to investigate the binding and diffusion of hydrogen on three flat Ni surfaces, Ni(100), Ni(110), and Ni(111), and two stepped Ni surfaces, Ni(210) and Ni(531). On each surface, the favored adsorption sites were identified by considering the energy and stability of various binding sites and zero-point energy corrections were computed. Binding energies are compared with experimental and theoretical results from the literature. Good agreement with experimental and previous theoretical data is found. At surface coverages where adsorbate-adsorbate interactions are relatively weak, the binding energy of H is similar on the five Ni surfaces studied. Favorable binding energies are observed for stable surface sites, while subsurface sites have unfavorable values relative to the gas phase molecular hydrogen. Minimum energy paths for hydrogen diffusion on Ni surfaces and into subsurface sites were constructed.     

CO adsorption on CoMo and NiMo sulfide catalysts: a combined IR and DFT study

Experimental IR spectra of carbon monoxide adsorbed on a series of Mo/Al2O3, CoMo/Al2O3, and NiMo/Al2O3 sulfided catalysts have been compared to ab initio DFT calculations of CO adsorption on CoMo and NiMo model surfaces. This approach allows the main IR features of CO adsorbed on the sulfide phase to be assigned with an uncertainty of 15 cm(-1). On the CoMo system, the band at 2070 cm(-1) is specific of the promotion by Co and is assigned to CO interacting either with a Co atom or with a Mo atom adjacent to a Co atom. On the NiMo system, CO adsorption on Ni centers of the promoted phase leads to a high-wavenumber band at approximately 2120 cm(-1) that strongly overlaps the band at 2110 cm(-1) characteristic of nonpromoted Mo sites. For NiMo and CoMo catalysts, broad shoulders at low wave numbers (below 2060 cm(-1)) are characteristic of Mo centers adjacent to promoter atoms, indicating a partial decoration of the MoS2 edges by the promoter.     

非负载镍催化剂的2-乙基蒽醌加氢活性及其氢吸脱附性质

 分别制备了金属镍粉、兰尼镍、Ni-B非晶态合金及镧掺杂的Ni-B非晶态合金(Ni-B-La)催化剂,研究了催化剂的氢吸附和脱附性质以及对2-乙基蒽醌加氢反应的催化性能. 结果表明,金属镍粉、兰尼镍和Ni-B催化剂表面均具有两种氢吸附位: 弱吸附位和强吸附位. Ni-B-La催化剂表面只有氢的强吸附位,其强吸附氢量与兰尼镍相当. 推测只有氢的强吸附位是2-乙基蒽醌加氢反应的活性中心,并且Ni-B-La催化剂上的强吸附氢较兰尼镍上的更活泼,因而Ni-B-La非晶态合金催化剂对加氢反应的催化活性高于兰尼镍.

1 INTRODUCTION Dinuclear sulfido-bridged complexes with M2S2(μ-S)2 unit serving as building blocks for the construction of mixed-metal clusters are well docu- mented due to their rich structure diversities[1～3] as well as their potential applications in catalytic sys- tems and eletro/photonic materials[4, 5].

Density functional theory study of adsorption of OOH on Pt-based bimetallic clusters alloyed with Cr, Co, and Ni

The adsorption of OOH, the main product of the first step in the O₂ reduction on Pt(1 1 1) surfaces, is studied on Pt-based bimetallic three-atom clusters. Cr, Co, and Ni are better adsorption sites for OOH than Pt, but the strong adsorption might not favor the dissociation of OOH. However, the presence of Cr, Co, or Ni in the vicinity of a Pt atom increases its electron density, enhancing the Pt ability to transfer electrons to oxygenated species. Thus, Cr, Co, or Ni in the subsurface, rather than on the exposed surface, may contribute favorably to catalyze the O₂ reduction.     

Desulfurization reactions on Ni2P(001) and alpha-Mo2C(001) surfaces: complex role of P and C sites

X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and first-principles density-functional calculations were used to study the interaction of thiophene, H(2)S, and S(2) with Ni(2)P(001), alpha-Mo(2)C(001), and polycrystalline MoC. In general, the reactivity of the surfaces increases following the sequence MoC < Ni(2)P(001) < alpha-Mo(2)C(001). At 300 K, thiophene does not adsorb on MoC. In contrast, Ni(2)P(001) and alpha-Mo(2)C(001) can dissociate the molecule easily. The key to establish a catalytic cycle for desulfurization is in the removal of the decomposition products of thiophene (C(x)H(y) fragments and S) from these surfaces. Our experimental and theoretical studies indicate that the rate-determining step in a hydrodesulfurization (HDS) process is the transformation of adsorbed sulfur into gaseous H(2)S. Ni(2)P is a better catalyst for HDS than Mo(2)C or MoC. The P sites in the phosphide play a complex and important role. First, the formation of Ni-P bonds produces a weak "ligand effect" (minor stabilization of the Ni 3d levels and a small Ni --> P charge transfer) that allows a high activity for the dissociation of thiophene and molecular hydrogen. Second, the number of active Ni sites present in the surface decreases due to an "ensemble effect" of P, which prevents the system from deactivation induced by high coverages of strongly bound S. Third, the P sites are not simple spectators and provide moderate bonding to the products of the decomposition of thiophene and the H adatoms necessary for hydrogenation.

Reaction of [Et4N]2[Mo2S2(μ-S)2(edt)2] with CoCl2(6H2O and Phen in MeCN followed by recrystallization in DMSO/Et2O gave rise to dark-red block crystals of {[Co(Phen)3]- [Mo2S2(μ-S)2(edt)2]}2·(DMSO)2·(Et2O) 1 (C88H86Co2Mo4N12O3S18). 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group P21/c with a = 24.631(4), b = 16.117(3), c = 24.791(4) (A), β = 92.835°, V = 9829.3(3) (A)3, Z = 4, Mr = 2438.57, Dc = 1.648 g/cm3, F(000) = 4928, μ = 12.61 cm-1, R = 0.0936 and wR = 0.1682 for 12998 observed reflections with I > 2.0σ(I). In the structure of 1, the Co atom of the [Co(Phen)3]2+ dication is octahedrally coordinated by three Phen ligands. The Mo atom of the [Mo2S2(μ-S)2(edt)2]2- dianion is coordinated by two μ-S, one terminal S and two S atoms from edt, forming a distorted square pyramidal geometry. The mean Co-N and Mo…Mo bond distances are 2.139 and 2.872 (A), respectively.     

H2 adsorption on 3d transition metal clusters: a combined infrared spectroscopy and density functional study

The adsorption of H2 on a series of gas-phase transition metal (scandium, vanadium, iron, cobalt, and nickel) clusters containing up to 20 metal atoms is studied using IR-multiple photon dissociation spectroscopy complemented with density functional theory based calculations. Comparison of the experimental and calculated spectra gives information on hydrogen-bonding geometries. The adsorption of H2 is found to be exclusively dissociative on Sc(n)O+, V(n)+, Fe(n)+, and Co(n)+, and both atomic and molecularly chemisorbed hydrogen is present in Ni(n)H(m)+ complexes. It is shown that hydrogen adsorption geometries depend on the elemental composition as well as on the cluster size and that the adsorption sites are different for clusters and extended surfaces. In contrast to what is observed for extended metal surfaces, where hydrogen has a preference for high coordination sites, hydrogen can be both 2- or 3-fold coordinated to cationic metal clusters.

A DFT study of H2O dissociation on metal‐precovered Fe (100) surface

The H₂O adsorption and dissociation on the Fe (100) surface with different precovered metals are studied by density functional theory. On both kinds of metal‐precovered surface, H₂O molecules prefer adsorb on hollow sites than bridge and top sites. The impurity energy difference is proportional to the adsorption energy, but the adsorbates are not sensitive to the adsorption orientation and height relative to the surface. The Hirshfeld charge analysis shows that water molecules act as an electron donor while the surface Fe atoms act as an electron acceptor. The rotation and dissociation of H₂O molecule occur on the Co‐ and Mn‐precovered surfaces. Some H₂O molecules are dissociated into OH and H groups. The energy barriers are about 0.5 to 1.0 eV, whose are consistence with the experimental data. H₂O molecules can be dissociated more easily at the top site on Co‐precovered surface 1 than that at bridge site on Mn‐precovered surface 2 because of the lower reaction barrier. The dispersion correction effects on the energies and adsorption configurations on Co‐precovered surface 1 were calculated by OBS + PW91. The dispersion contributions can improve a bit of the bond energy of adsorbates and weaken the hydrogen bond effect between adsorption molecules a little.     

Hydrogen adsorption on nickel (100) single-crystal face. A Monte Carlo study of the equilibrium and kinetics

We propose a model of the dissociative adsorption of hydrogen on nickel single-crystal face. In this model, we treat the Ni(100) surface as a strongly correlated energetically heterogeneous surface, because the density functional theory (DFT) studies indicate that hydrogen atoms may adsorb either on hollow sites (energetically more favorable, binding energy 48 kJ/mol H) or bridge sites with the binding energy less by 11 kJ/mol H. The essential assumption of the proposed model is that the dissociation of the hydrogen molecule is possible only over the topmost Ni atom, and the resulting H atoms may adsorb either on two free hollow sites (but the adjacent bridge sites must be free) or two bridge sites (the adjacent hollow sites must be free). If the above condition is not fulfilled, then the dissociation and adsorption are impossible. The second assumption is that the rate (probability) of the associative desorption is limited by the rate of diffusion of H atoms on the surface. This is because the two H atoms desorb, giving an H2 molecule, only when they meet on two adjacent hollow-bridge sites. Our model recovers very well the behavior of the experimental equilibrium adsorption isotherms as well as kinetic isotherms. As a result, we stated that hydrogen atoms are not completely free on the surface, but they cannot also be considered localized at room and elevated temperatures. Additionally, while analyzing the kinetic adsorption isotherms, we stated that the rate-limiting step during the dissociative adsorption of H2 is the disintegration of the activated complex and the subsequent adsorption of hydrogen atoms.     

Kinetic mechanism of methanol decomposition on Ni(111) surface: a theoretical study

The decomposition of methanol on the Ni(111) surface has been studied with the pseudopotential method of density functional theory-generalized gradient approximation (DFT-GGA) and with the repeated slab models. The adsorption energies of possible species and the activation energy barriers of the possible elementary reactions involved are obtained in the present work. The major reaction path on Ni surfaces involves the O-H bond breaking in CH(3)OH and the further decomposition of the resulting methoxy species to CO and H via stepwise hydrogen abstractions from CH(3)O. The abstraction of hydrogen from methoxy itself is the rate-limiting step. We also confirm that the C-O and C-H bond-breaking paths, which lead to the formation of surface methyl and hydroxyl and hydroxymethyl and atom hydrogen, respectively, have higher energy barriers. Therefore, the final products are the adsorbed CO and H atom.     

Catalysts for hydrogen evolution from the [NiFe] hydrogenase to the Ni2P(001) surface: the importance of ensemble effect

Density functional theory (DFT) was employed to investigate the behavior of a series of catalysts used in the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER, 2H(+) + 2e(-) --> H(2)). The kinetics of the HER was studied on the [NiFe] hydrogenase, the [Ni(PS3*)(CO)](1)(-) and [Ni(PNP)(2)](2+) complexes, and surfaces such as Ni(111), Pt(111), or Ni(2)P(001). Our results show that the [NiFe] hydrogenase exhibits the highest activity toward the HER, followed by [Ni(PNP)(2)](2+) > Ni(2)P > [Ni(PS3*)(CO)](1)(-) > Pt > Ni in a decreasing sequence. The slow kinetics of the HER on the surfaces is due to the fact that the metal hollow sites bond hydrogen too strongly to allow the facile removal of H(2). In fact, the strong H-Ni interaction on Ni(2)P(001) can lead to poisoning of the highly active sites of the surface, which enhances the rate of the HER and makes it comparable to that of the [NiFe] hydrogenase. In contrast, the promotional effect of H-poisoning on the HER on Pt and Ni surfaces is relatively small. Our calculations suggest that among all of the systems investigated, Ni(2)P should be the best practical catalyst for the HER, combining the high thermostability of the surfaces and high catalytic activity of the [NiFe] hydrogenase. The good behavior of Ni(2)P(001) toward the HER is found to be associated with an ensemble effect, where the number of active Ni sites is decreased due to presence of P, which leads to moderate bonding of the intermediates and products with the surface. In addition, the P sites are not simple spectators and directly participate in the HER.
