特定位点上CO2与(TiO2)n团簇相互作用的第一性原理研究

本文基于密度泛函理论系统地研究了(TiO₂)_n团簇上二氧化碳(CO₂)的吸附和活化性质. 计算结果表明,CO₂更倾向于吸附在(TiO₂)_n团簇的桥氧原子上,形成“化学吸附”碳酸盐络合物. 而CO更倾向于吸附到末端Ti-O的Ti原子上. 发现计算得到的碳酸盐振动频率值与实验获得的结果非常吻合,这表明配合物中CO₂的几何构型与其线性型相比,有微小的弯转. 通过对电子结构、电荷密度、电离势、HOMO-LUMO以及态密度的分析,证实了CO₂与团簇之间的电荷转移以及相互作用. 从预测的能量分布图来看,(TiO₂)_n团簇上的CO₂活化与结构密切有关,相比于块体的TiO₂,CO₂在团簇结构上更易于吸附和活化.

第一性原理计算ZrnFe(n=2—13)团簇的基态结构及其磁性

从第一性原理出发，利用密度泛函理论中的广义梯度近似对Zr_nFe(n=2—13)团簇进行了结构优化、能量和频率计算.在充分考虑自旋多重度的前提下，对每一具体尺寸的团簇，得到了多个平衡构型，并根据能量高低确定了团簇的基态结构.综合团簇的结合能、二阶能量差分以及团簇的最高占据轨道和最低未占据轨道间的能隙可知Zr₅Fe，Zr₇Fe和Zr₁₂Fe团簇的稳定性相对较高，Zr₁₂Fe团簇的结构是具有I_h对称性的正二十面体，而且Zr₁₂Fe的稳定性在所有团簇中是最高的.另外，不仅Zr₅Fe，Zr₇Fe和Zr₁₂Fe团簇的稳定性相对较高，而且它们均为磁性团簇(而Zr_n团簇的磁矩在n≥5时已经发生了淬灭)，由此可知通过选择合适的掺杂元素可能得到高稳定的磁性团簇.从Mulliken布居分析结果可知，除了在Zr₁₂Fe团簇中Fe原子失去少量电荷外，其他团簇中Fe原子均从Zr原子那里得到了一定量电荷，即Fe原子在Zr_nFe(n=2—13，n≠12)团簇中是电子受体.

Effect of γ-Al2O3 substrate on NO2 interaction with supported BaO clusters

BaO oxide is the main storage component of the NO_x storage and reduction catalysts. Herein, the interactions between the NO₂ molecule and the unsupported as well as γ-Al₂O₃ supported BaO clusters have been studied using the first principle density functional theory calculation. Our results indicated that there is a strong synergetic effect involving both the BaO clusters and the surface of the γ-Al₂O₃ substrate toward NO₂ adsorption. The interfacial region between the monodispersed BaO cluster and the substrate surface that allows NO₂ to bond with the cluster and the surface simultaneously was shown to be optimal for NO₂ adsorption.     

MgO-decorated carbon nanotubes for CO2 adsorption: first principles calculations

The global greenhouse effect makes it urgent to deal with the increasing greenhouse gases.In this paper the performance of MgO-decorated carbon nanotubes for CO 2 adsorption is investigated through first principles calculations.The results show that the MgO-decorated carbon nanotubes can adsorb CO 2 well and are relatively insensitive to O 2 and N 2 at the same time.The binding energy arrives at 1.18 eV for the single-MgO-decorated carbon nanotube adsorbing one CO 2 molecule,while the corresponding values for O 2 and N 2 are 0.55 eV and 0.06 eV,respectively.In addition,multi-molecule adsorption is also proved to be very satisfactory.These results indicate that MgO-decorated carbon nanotubes have great potential applications in industrial and environmental processes.     

High inertness of W@Si12 cluster toward O2 molecule

The geometry, electronic structure, and reactivity with O₂ molecules of an isolated W@Si₁₂ cluster have been investigated by first principles simulations. The results confirm that O₂ can weakly adsorb on the HP-W@Si₁₂ cage with a binding energy of 0.004 to 0.027 eV. O₂ may dissociate on the cluster by overcoming energy barrier of at least 0.593 eV. However, this is a spin-forbidden reaction, rendering the high inertness of the HP-W@Si₁₂ cluster toward O₂. These results confirm the high inertness of the W@Si₁₂ cluster toward O₂ molecules in ambient conditions, in close agreement with experimental observations of magic cluster of W@Si₁₂.     

Ab initio investigation of hydrogenation of (BN)12

Ab initio molecular orbital theory was used to examine the hydrogenation of a B₁₂N₁₂ molecule. The 1,2 addition of the 4,6 bond is an energetically favorable adsorption site in one-hydrogen-molecule adsorption. We found that the averaged bind energy of hydrogen molecule is maximized in B₁₂N₁₂H₁₂. The largest energy gaps of B₁₂N₁₂H₁₂ and B₁₂N₁₂H₂₄ suggest they have special stability. Moreover, calculation of the Gibbs free energy of the B₁₂N₁₂ + 12H₂ → B₁₂N₁₂H₂₄ reaction showed that this reaction becomes endothermic above 320 K.     

Density-functional study of CO adsorbed on RhN （N = 2-19） clusters

We investigate the structural, electronic and adsorption properties of one single CO molecule adsorbed on Rh_N (N = 2-19) clusters, using the density-functional theory in the spin-polarized generalized gradient approximation. It is found that the structural growth model of the Rh_N clusters transforms from double layers (N = 12-16) to three layers (N = 17-19). Three different adsorption types are the atop site adsorption for N = 6, 8, 9, 11, 12, the bridge site adsorption for N = 2-5, 7, 10, 13-15, 17 and the face adsorption for N = 16, 18, 19. The adsorption abilities of Rh_N clusters are related to C-O bond length, vibrational frequency, adsorption energy and the charge transfer between CO and Rh clusters as well as the electronic density of state. With the increase of Rh cluster size, the adsorption energy of CO adsorbed on Rh_N clusters tends to be 2.2 eV-2.3 eV, which is 0.2 eV-0.3 eV larger than the theoretical value (about 2.0 eV) of CO molecule adsorption on clean Rh (111) surface.     

DFT study of boron trichloride adsorption on the surface of Al12N12 nanocluster

In the present study, ability of Al₁₂N₁₂ nanocluster as a new adsorbent for boron trichloride is studied by using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Two distinct relaxed geometries of Al₁₂N₁₂-BCl₃ complex are located. The dominant configuration (B) involves chemisorption of BCl₃ on aluminum nitride nanocluster with an adsorption energy of ?303 kJ/mol compared to ?33 kJ/mol for a less favourable configuration A (based on wB97XD functional). The enthalpy and Gibbs free energy of interaction for each relaxed was also analysed for better understanding of the thermochemistry of adsorption process. The charge transfer analysis reveals opposing trend in both configurations. Configuration A showed transfer of charge from BCl₃ to nanocluster (+0.123 e), whereas reverse direction of charge transfer was found for the other configuration (?0.083 e). Furthermore, the frontier molecular orbital as well as densities of states of all systems are analysed to follow the changes in the electronic structure of Al₁₂N₁₂ upon adsorption of BCl₃.     

A density functional theory study on the adsorption of CO and O2 on Cu-terminated Cu2O （111） surface

The adsorptions of CO and 02 molecules individually on the stoichiometric Cu-terminatcd Cu20 （111） surface are investigated by first-principles calculations on the basis of the density functional theory. The calculated results indicate that the CO molecule preferably coordinates to the Cu2 site through its C atom with an adsorption energy of-1.69 eV, whereas the 02 molecule is most stably adsorbed in a tilt type with one O atom coordinating to the Cu2 site and the other O atom coordinating to the Cul site, and has an adsorption energy of -1.97 eV. From the analysis of density of states, it is observed that Cu 3d transfers electrons to 2π orbital of the CO molecule and the highest occupied 5σ orbital of the CO molecule transfers electrons to the substrate. The sharp band of Cu 4s is delocalized when compared to that before the CO molecule adsorption, and overlaps substantially with bands of the adsorbed CO molecule. There is a broadening of the 2π orbital of the 02 molecule because of its overlapping with the Cu 3d orbital, indicating that strong 3d-2π interactions are involved in the chemisorption of the 02 molecule on the surface.
