H2分子在LaFeO3表面吸附的第一性原理研究

基于密度泛函理论的第一性原理方法,通过计算表面能确定LaFeO₃(010)表面为最稳定的吸附表面,研究了H₂分子在LaFeO₃(010)表面的吸附性质。LaFeO₃(010)表面存在LaO和FeO₂两种终止表面,但吸附主要发生在FeO₂终止表面,由于LaFeO₃(010)表面弛豫的影响,使得凹凸不平的表面层增加了表面原子与H原子的接触面积,表面晶胞的纵向体积增加约2.5%,有利于H原子向晶体内扩散。研究发现,H₂分子在LaFeO₃(010)表面主要存在3种化学吸附方式:第一种吸附发生在O-O桥位,2个H原子分别吸附在2个O原子上,形成2个-OH基,这是最佳吸附位置,此时H原子与表面O原子的作用主要是H1s与O2p轨道杂化作用的结果,H-O之间为典型的共价键。H₂分子的解离能垒为1.542 eV,说明表面需要一定的热条件,H₂分子才会发生解离吸附;第二种吸附发生在Fe-O桥位,1个H原子吸附在O原子上形成1个-OH基,另一个H原子吸附在Fe原子上形成金属键;第三种吸附发生在O顶位,2个H原子吸附在同一个O原子上,形成H₂O分子,此时H₂O分子与表面形成物理吸附,H₂O分子逃离表面后容易形成氧空位。此外,H₂分子在LaFeO₃(010)表面还可以发生物理吸附。     

焙烧温度对Mn/Al2O3-TiO2催化剂结构及氧化NO性能的影响

采用溶胶凝胶法和浸渍法制备10% Mn/Al₂O₃-TiO₂催化剂,借助TPO、XRD、O₂-TPD、Raman、XPS等手段,考察焙烧温度(450~650 ℃)对催化剂结构以及氧化NO性能的影响。TPO结果表明催化剂活性随焙烧温度的升高先增后减,其中焙烧温度为550 ℃时催化剂活性最好。XPS结果显示随着焙烧温度的升高(450~550 ℃),催化剂表面Mn³⁺的含量逐渐升高,与催化剂活性的强弱成对应关系,并且催化剂晶格氧含量下降,而表面化学吸附氧从40.9%增加到64.8%。Raman分析显示550 ℃焙烧时,催化剂表面存在丰富的Mn₂O₃活性物种,并且O₂-TPD分析也表明随着焙烧温度的升高,晶格氧向表面化学吸附氧流动,提高了化学吸附态氧物种的含量。这些结果表明Mn₂O₃可能是NO氧化起主要作用的活性Mn物种,释放更多的表面化学吸附氧物种,将有助于促进NO的催化氧化。     

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.

甲硫醇在Cu(111)表面的解离吸附: 密度泛函理论研究

采用基于密度泛函理论的第一性原理方法和平板模型研究了CH₃SH分子在Cu(111)表面的吸附反应.系统地计算了S原子在不同位置以不同方式吸附的一系列构型, 第一次得到未解离的CH₃SH分子在Cu(111)表面顶位上的稳定吸附构型,该构型吸附属于弱的化学吸附, 吸附能为0.39 eV. 计算同时发现在热力学上解离结构比未解离结构更加稳定. 解离的CH₃S吸附在桥位和中空位之间, 吸附能为0.75-0.77 eV. 计算分析了未解离吸附到解离吸附的两条反应路径, 最小能量路径的能垒为0.57 eV. 计算结果还表明S―H键断裂后的H原子并不是以H₂分子的形式从表面解吸附而是以与表面成键的形式存在. 通过比较S原子在独立的CH₃SH分子和吸附状态下的局域态密度, 发现S―H键断裂后S原子和表面的键合强于未断裂时S原子和表面的键合.     

Ni的化学态对甲烷部分氧化反应机理的影响: 能学分析

采用键指数归一-平方势(UBI-QEP)法对不同化学态Ni上甲烷部分氧化反应中各可能基元步骤进行了能学计算研究. 结果表明, 反应的速度控制步骤与金属Ni的化学态有关. 还原态Ni上CO形成的反应速度控制步骤为表面上CH₃与O物种间的缔合, 而带部分正电荷的Ni上CO形成的反应速度控制步骤则为甲烷氧助解离形成表面CH_xO物种. 还原态和带部分正电荷的Ni中心在表面上共存时, 反应的速度控制步骤将取决于表面CH₃形成与表面CH₃、O物种缔合两反应间的竞争, 其竞争的强弱涉及Ni的化学态. 此外, 反应活性中心向正电荷的Ni转化时, 会导致表面C和O及H和H物种缔合的活化能显著降低, 有利于CO、H₂的形成, 而表面CHx物种解离则变得不容易, 表面积炭受到明显的抑制.

Chemisorbed Oxygen Species over the (110) Face of SnO2

The electronic states of chemisorbed oxygen species on the (110) face of SnO₂ and their variations caused by heat treatments and/or O₂ exposure have been investigated. The reactivities of the chemisorbed oxygen species for methane oxidations were also examined.Four different chemisorbed oxygen species (O₂ ^2-, O_2-, O^-, O_b) were observed, in addition to the lattice oxygen (O^2-), on the surface of the stabilized (110) surface of SnO₂ after O₂ exposure. The O_b species was assumed to be the bridging oxygen at the topmost layer of the SnO₂ (110) surface having no neighboring oxygen vacancies. The electronic state of O_b was converted to O^- upon CH₄ exposure at 473 K by coupling with newly produced vacancies at the bridging site of the SnO₂ (110) surface.     

Selective-leaching method to fabricate an Ir surface-enriched Ir-Ni oxide electrocatalyst for water oxidation

Durable and precious metal-lean electrocatalyst for water oxidation in acidic media would be of great significance for the large-scale application of acidic water electrolysis. Here, we report an Ir-Ni binary oxide electrocatalyst for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) fabricated by acid leaching of Ni from Ni-rich composite oxides prepared using pyrolysis method. This Ni-leached binary oxide possesses Ir-enriched surface, porous morphology, and rutile phase structure of IrO₂ with contracted lattice. In contrast, Ir-Ni binary oxide with the same composition prepared using simple pyrolysis method exhibits a rod-like aggregated morphology with Ni-enriched surface. Catalytic activity for OER of the Ni-leached binary oxide is higher than that of the pyrolyzed Ir-Ni oxide and pure IrO₂. More importantly, the Ni-leached binary oxide exhibits much superior durability during continuous oxygen evolution process under a constant potential of 1.6 V compared with the pyrolyzed binary oxide and pure IrO_2. Attributed to the Ir-rich surface and the anchor effect of inner Ni atoms to outer Ir atoms, the Ni-leached binary oxide shows a possibility of reducing the demand of the expensive and scarce Ir in OER electrocatalyst for acidic water splitting.

镍基钙钛矿型催化剂的结构调控及其在甲烷干重整反应中的应用

钙钛矿材料在催化领域具有广泛的应用,其微观结构的调控对催化性能有显著的影响.我们采用柠檬酸配合法、溶胶凝胶法、燃烧法和浸渍法一系列不同的制备过程对镍基钙钛矿材料的结构进行调控,并将其应用于甲烷干重整反应,研究了制备方法对活性组分Ni的化学形态、Ni与基底的相互作用以及活性氧物种的调控,进而影响其催化活性和抗积碳能力.结果表明,燃烧法可以显著提高催化剂的结晶度,从而提高Ni与基底的相互作用以及表面氧物种的含量,使其具有较强的抗积碳能力.燃烧法合成的Ni基钙钛矿催化剂在CH4∶CO2=1.25∶1,800℃的条件下反应300 h后,积碳量仅为1.0%,而在同样条件下浸渍法合成的催化剂积碳量则高达14.6%.     

In situ spectroscopic study of the oxidation and reduction of Pd(111)

Using a photoemission spectroscometer that operates close to ambient conditions of pressure and temperature we have determined the Pd-O phase diagram and the kinetic parameters of phase transformations. We found that on the (111) surface oxidation proceeds by formation of stable and metastable structures. As the chemical potential of O2 increases chemisorbed oxygen forms followed by a thin surface oxide. Bulk oxidation is a two-step process that starts with the metastable growth of the surface oxide into the bulk, followed by a first-order transformation to PdO.     

O2和CO在Ni(111)表面的吸附活化

采用高分辨电子能量损失谱(HREELS)、俄歇电子能谱(AES)和低能电子衍射(LEED)研究镍单晶表面氧物种及CO与O₂的共吸附。实验结果表明,Ni(111)表面氧化后存在两种氧物种,位于54 meV能量损失峰的表面化学吸附氧物种和位于69 meV能量损失峰的表面氧化镍。首先,随着暴露氧量的增加,表面化学吸附氧物种的能量损失峰蓝移至58 meV;其次,通过真空退火及与CO相互作用考察,发现表面化学吸附氧物种较不稳定。在室温条件下,表面预吸附形成的表面化学吸附氧物种与CO共吸附,导致端位吸附CO增多,表明氧优先吸附在穴位上,随着CO暴露量的增加化学吸附氧物种与CO反应脱去;而表面氧化镍需在较高温度和较高CO分压下才能被CO还原。预吸附CO可被氧逐渐移去。     

EFTEM and EELS Analysis of a Pt/NiO Interface

 Energy-filtering transmission electron microscopy (EFTEM) is more and more becoming an important nanoanalytical technique in both materials science and biology. The main advantage of the method lies in the possibility to obtain two-dimensional chemical information from large specimen areas as well as from features on a nanometer scale. Due to its excellent lateral resolution it is perfectly suited for the investigation of nanometer sized features (e.g. interfaces). In this paper we will show how EFTEM can be used to characterize the interface between a Pt layer and a NiO crystal as part of a coulometric titration cell. In addition to elemental distribution maps electron energy-loss spectra (EELS) across the interface (EELS linescans) have been acquired to obtain quantitative compositional profiles. By employing these methods the following interfacial layers could be identified, all of which containing Pt, Ni and O in different proportions: 13 nm Pt-rich, 32 nm Ni-rich and 29 nm Pt-rich. The origin of these is discussed in terms of displacement reactions.     

Influence of the microstructure of semiconductor sensor materials on oxygen chemisorption on their surface

The correlations between the microstructure and oxygen chemisorption on the surface of nanocrystalline SnO₂ and In₂O₃ were established. The activation energy of oxygen chemisorption was estimated, and the chemisorbed species dominating in the temperature range 200–400°C (working temperature range of semiconductor gas sensors) was identified. An increase in the crystallite size tends to decrease the effective activation energy of oxygen chemisorption and to increase the surface coverage with chemisorbed oxygen and the contribution from atomic species.     

Theory of electronic structure of oxide surfaces

Recent theoretical studies on the electronic structures of oxide surfaces by the DV-Xα cluster method are reviewed. The aim is to elucidate the major material and structural factors governing the surface electronic structure. Special attention is paid to the properties of the electronic states which are related to the surface chemical activities. To give a comprehensive picture of the electronic structure of oxide surfaces, topics are selected from several different types of oxides including MgO, MO (where M denotes 3D transition metals), TiO₂, SrTiO₃, ReO₃, ZnO. Electronic structure of oxygen chemisorbed on metals, which is the initial step of the oxide formation, is also studied. The important role of the partially filled d band and the influence of the chemisorption geometry is clarified in detail. Oxygen vacancy and other surface imperfections introduce localized electronic states, often with the energy level deep in the gap. They form active centers in the surface chemical processes. The charge compensation mechanism and the related peculiar properties of the polar surfaces are discussed. The chemisorption of oxygen, proton and hydroxyl on the oxide surface is investigated and the mechanism of the acidic and basic sites are discussed.
