密度泛函理论方法研究6H-SiC(0001)表面对氧分子和水分子的吸附

本文通过密度泛函方法计算6H-SiC(0001)表面对氧分子和水分子的吸附. 在6H-SiC(0001)表面上吸附的O₂分子自发地解离成O^*,并被吸收在C与Si原子之间的空位上. 吸附的H₂O自发地分解成OH^*和H^*,它们都被吸附在Si原子的顶部,OH^*进一步可逆地转化为O^*和H^*. H^*可以使Si悬键饱和并改变O^*的吸附类型,并进一步稳定6H-SiC(0001)表面并防止其转变为SiO₂.     

氧化石墨烯负载的Pt单原子催化硼胺烷水解机理的理论研究

本文研究了氧化石墨烯负载Pt单原子(Pt₁/Gr-O)催化硼胺烷(NH₃BH₃)全水解反应机理,即一分子的NH₃BH₃生成三分子的氢气(H₂)的过程. 在水解路径中,首先吸附的硼胺烷连续断裂两个B-H键生成第一分子的H₂. 接着,一个H₂O分子与^*BHNH₃基团(^*表示吸附态)反应生成^*BH(H₂O)NH₃,其中伸长的O-H键断裂后形成^*BH(OH)NH₃. 然后,第二个H₂O与^*BH(OH)NH₃反应生成^*BH(OH)(H₂O)NH₃,在指向Pt₁/Gr-O表面的O-H断裂后,生成BH(OH)₂NH₃并脱附到水溶液中. 两个水分子脱氢产生的两个H原子脱附生成第二个H₂分子,且Pt₁/Gr-O催化剂恢复. 脱附后的BH(OH)₂NH₃在水溶液中水解生成第三个H₂分子. 纵观整个水解反应,H₂O分子和^*BHNH₃基团的结合是反应速控步,其反应能垒是16.1 kcal/mol. 因此,Pt₁/Gr-O有希望成为室温催化NH₃BH₃全水解催化剂.

水蒸气对二氧化硅膜的影响：吸附性能与渗流效应

研究了在50和90 oC时水蒸气对孔径约为4 ?的二氧化硅膜的吸附性能和渗流效应影响,采用椭圆偏振光谱分析水蒸气的吸附性能,以及测定氦气-H₂O二元混合气体的透过性能. 研究表明水蒸气在二氧化硅膜上的吸附行为符合一阶Langmuir等温线,同时,在H₂O分子存在的条件下,氦气的透过率会急剧下降. 通常,在极小孔内气体分子的传输被认为是不连续的,而是在势能下从一个占有位置跳跃到另外一个空位上. 当在二氧化硅表面的H₂O分子覆盖率上升时,氦气的透过率急剧下降可能与渗流效应有关,其中吸附在二氧化硅表面的H₂O分子阻碍了氦气分子的跳跃.

First-principles study of the electronic structure and transport properties of armchair graphene nanoribbons with adsorbed super-halogen LiF2 and super-alkali Li3 clusters

The electronic structure and quantum transport properties of pristine armchair graphene nanoribbons (AGNRs) and AGNRs adsorbing super-halogen LiF₂ and super-alkaline Li₃ clusters (Li₃/AGNRs/LiF₂) were investigated using density functional theory and non-equilibrium Green's function calculations. It was found that LiF₂ and Li₃ clusters are stably adsorbed on the AGNRs, and the adsorption of Li₃ and LiF₂ endows AGNRs with the characteristics of n-type and p-type semiconductors, respectively. The Li₃/AGNRs/LiF₂ structure reduces the band gap and the turn-on voltage, and improves the transmission coefficient of the ANGRs device. This structure also exhibit the rectification characteristics of a pn junction with the forward bias current greater than the reverse bias current. This shows that adsorption of super-alkali and super-halogen clusters in different regions of AGNRs is a feasible approach for obtaining AGNRs with pn junction characteristics.     

Structural,electronic and catalytic performance of single-atom Fe anchored 3Si-doped graphene

By density functional theory (DFT) calculations, it is found that the single-atom Fe anchored three Si modified defective graphene (3Si-graphene-Fe) exhibits the high stability, and this system is semiconducting property and has non-magnetic moment. Besides the most stable configurations, electronic structures and magnetic properties of adsorbed species (O₂, CO, 2CO and CO/O₂) on 3Si-graphene-Fe systems are comparably discussed. The adsorption of O₂ is more stable than that of CO molecule and the coadsorption of 2CO and CO/O₂ has the larger adsorption energy than that of the isolated one. The adsorbed O₂, CO and CO/O₂ can induce the change in magnetic properties of 3Si-graphene-Fe system, and the coadsorbed CO/O₂ on system exhibits the metallic property. Among the reaction mechanisms, the CO oxidation reactions through Eley–Rideal (ER) reactions have lower energy barriers (<0.5?eV) than those of the Langmuir–Hinshelwood (LH) and new termolecular Eley–Rideal (TER) mechanisms, indicating that the ER reaction as starting step is an energetically favourable process. These results provide an important guidance on validating the catalytic activity of single atom on graphene-based materials.     

扶手椅型石墨纳米带的双空位缺陷效应研究

采用基于密度泛函理论的第一性原理电子结构和输运性质计算,研究了扶手椅型石墨纳米带（具有锯齿边缘）的双空位缺陷效应.研究发现：双空位缺陷的存在并没有改变石墨纳米带的金属特性,但改变了费米面附近的能带结构.同时,双空位缺陷的取向对石墨纳米带的输运性质有很重要的影响.对于奇数宽度的纳米带,斜向双空位缺陷使得石墨带导电性能减弱,而垂直双空位能基本保留原有的线性伏安特性,导电性能降低较少;对于偶数宽度的纳米带,斜向双空位缺陷会使石墨带导电性能明显增强,而垂直双空位缺陷则具有完整石墨带的输运性质. 关键词： 石墨纳米带 585双空位缺陷 电子结构 输运性质     

Theoretical investigation of the O2 adsorption effect in the electron transport of single Fe-porphyrin molecule

The effect of O₂ adsorption on the electron transport behavior of Fe-porphyrin molecule is investigated by the first-principles computational approach. The current-voltage characteristics of Fe-porphyrin and O₂ adsorbed Fe-porphyrin between gold electrodes are calculated. We find that the conductance of the Fe-porphyrin decreases dramatically upon the adsorption of O₂, which suggests that this system has potential application as a molecular sensor or a switch. This switching-behavior is analyzed from the evolutions of the transmission spectra and the molecular projected self-consistent Hamiltonian states of the molecular systems.     

Spectroscopic characterization approach to study surfactants effect on ZnO2 nanoparticles synthesis by laser ablation process

Zinc peroxide nanoparticles having grain size less than 5 nm were synthesized using pulsed laser ablation in aqueous solution in the presence of different surfactants and solid zinc target in 3% H₂O₂. The effect of surfactants on the optical and structure of ZnO₂ was studied by applying different spectroscopic techniques. Structural properties and grain size of the synthesized nanoparticles were studied using XRD method. The presence of the cubic phase of zinc peroxide in all samples was confirmed with XRD, and the grain sizes were 4.7, 3.7, 3.3 and 2.8 nm in pure H₂O₂, and H₂O₂ mixed with SDS, CTAB and OGM respectively. For optical characterization, FTIR transmittance spectra of ZnO₂ nanoparticles prepared with and without surfactants show a characteristic ZnO₂ absorption at 435-445 cm⁻¹. FTIR spectrum revealed that the adsorbed surfactants on zinc peroxide disappeared in case of CTAB and OGM while it appears in case of SDS. This could be due to high critical micelles SDS concentration comparing with others which is attributed to the adsorption anionic nature of this surfactant. Both FTIR and UV-vis spectra show a red shift in the presence of SDS and blue shift in the presence of CTAB and OGM. The blue shift in the absorption edge indicates the quantum confinement property of nanoparticles. The zinc peroxide nanoparticles prepared in additives-free media was also characterized by Raman spectra which show the characteristic peaks at 830-840 and 420-440 cm⁻¹.

ESCA study of carbon monoxide and oxygen adsorption on tungsten

The chemisorption of both CO and O₂ on a clean tungsten ribbon has been studied using an ultrahigh vacuum X-ray photoelectron spectrometer. For CO, the energy and intensity of photoemission from O(1s) and C(1s) core levels have been studied for various adsorption temperatures.At adsorption temperatures of ～100 K., the “virgin”-CO state was the dominant adsorbed species. Conversion of this state to more strongly-bound β-CO is observed upon heating the adsorbed layer to ～320K. Thermal desorption of CO at 300?T?640 K causes sequential loss of α₁-CO and α₂-CO as judged by the disappearance of O(1s) and C(1s) photoelectron peaks characteristic of these states.Oxygen adsorption at 300K gives a single main O(ls) peak at all coverages, although at high oxygen coverages there exist small auxiliary peaks at ～2eV lower kinetic energy. The photoelectron C(1s) and O(1s) binding energies observed for these adsorbed species are all lower than for gaseous molecules containing C and O atoms. For CO adsorption states there is a systematic decrease in photoelectron binding energy as the strength of adsorption increases. These observations are in general accord with expectations based on electronic relaxation effects in condensed materials.     

Adsorption and dissociation of H2 on the Cu2O(1 1 1) surface: A density functional theory study

Interactions of atomic and molecular hydrogen with perfect and deficient Cu₂O(1 1 1) surfaces have been investigated by density functional theory. Different kinds of possible modes of H and H₂ adsorbed on the Cu₂O(1 1 1) surface and possible dissociation pathways were examined. The calculated results indicate that O_SUF, Cu_CUS and O_vacancy sites are the adsorption active centers for H adsorbed on the Cu₂O(1 1 1) surface, and for H₂ adsorption over perfect surface, Cu_CUS site is the most advantageous position with the side-on type of H₂. For H₂ adsorption over deficient surface, two adsorption models of H₂, H₂ adsorbing perpendicularly over O_vacancy site and H₂ lying flatly over singly-coordinate Cu-Cu short bridge, are typical of non-energy-barrier dissociative adsorption leading to one atomic H completely inserted into the crystal lattice and the other bounded to Cu_CUS atom, suggesting that the dissociative adsorption of H₂ is the main dissociation pathway of H₂ on the Cu₂O(1 1 1) surface. Our calculation result is consistent with that of the experimental observation. Therefore, Cu₂O(1 1 1) surface with oxygen vacancy exhibits a strong chemical reactivity towards the dissociation of H₂.     

Hydrogen on hybrid MoS2/graphene nanostructures

Transition metal dichalcogenides are rising candidates for the replacement of Pt catalysts in water splitting. In this theoretical study we focus on the hydrogen evolution reaction part of this process and on how hydrogen (H) interacts with MoS₂ nanostructures, free‐standing or positioned on a graphene substrate. Density functional theory calculations confirm the stability of such nanostructures and our results for H on several configurations, from 2D infinite monolayers to quasi‐1D MoS₂ ribbons and quasi‐0D MoS₂ flakes, are presented. We calculate the adsorption energy of H atoms on various sites of the MoS₂ nanostructures, notably at Mo and S active edges. Comparing free‐standing and MoS₂/graphene hybrid systems we find that the effect of the support on the adsorption of H on MoS₂ nanostructures is quite significant when the substrate induces strain.
