Carbon moieties on late transition metals are regarded as poisoning agents in heterogeneous catalysis. Recent studies show the promoting catalytic role of subsurface C atoms in Pd surfaces and their existence in Ni and Pt surfaces. Here energetic and kinetic evidence obtained by accurate simulations on surface and nanoparticle models shows that such subsurface C species are a general issue to consider even in coinage noble‐metal systems. Subsurface C is the most stable situation in densely packed (111) surfaces of Cu and Ag, with sinking barriers low enough to be overcome at catalytic working temperatures. Low‐coordinated sites at nanoparticle edges and corners further stabilize them, even in Au, with negligible subsurface sinking barriers. The malleability of low‐coordinated sites is key in the subsurface C accommodation. The incorporation of C species decreases the electron density of the surrounding metal atoms, thus affecting their chemical and catalytic activity. 相似文献

Pd-based catalysts are the most widely used for CO oxidation because of their outstanding catalytic activity and thermal stability. However, fundamental understanding of the detailed catalytic processes occurring on Pd-based catalysts under realistic conditions is still lacking. In this study, we investigated CO oxidation on metallic Pd clusters supported on Al2O3 and SiO2. High-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy revealed the formation of similar-sized Pd clusters on Al2O3 and SiO2. In contrast, CO chemisorption analysis indicated a gradual change in the dispersion of Pd (from 0.79 to 0.2) on Pd/Al2O3 and a marginal change in the dispersion (from 0.4 to 0.24) on Pd/SiO2 as the Pd loading increased from 0.27 to 5.5 wt %; these changes were attributed to differences in the metal-support interactions. Diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier-transform spectroscopy revealed that fewer a-top CO species were present in Pd supported on Al2O3 than those in Pd supported on SiO2, which is related to the morphological differences in the metallic Pd clusters on these two supports. Despite the different dispersion profiles and surface characteristics of Pd, O2 titration demonstrated that linearly bound CO (with an infrared signal at 2090 cm−1) reacted first with oxygen in the case of CO-saturated Pd on Al2O3 and SiO2, which suggests that a-top CO on the terrace site plays an important role in CO oxidation. The experimental observations were corroborated by periodic density functional calculations, which confirmed that CO oxidation on the (111) terrace sites is most plausible, both kinetically and thermodynamically, compared to that on the edge or corner sites. This study will deepen the fundamental understanding of the effect of Pd clusters on CO oxidation under reaction conditions. 相似文献

We report a computational investigation of CO adsorption on small nickel clusters that contain single impurity atoms H, C, or O. At bare Ni 4 and clusters with H or O impurity, the most stable coordination of the probe molecule is on top of a Ni atom which interacts with the impurity. The CNi 4 cluster is an exception where 3-fold coordination of CO was determined to be more stable than that on top, however, by 4 kJ/mol only. Our results suggest that the heteroatoms X (X = H, C, O) affect only weakly the reactivity of the cluster with respect to CO; the binding energy of CO in the most stable complexes (CO)XNi 4 increases at most by 10% compared to the value for bare Ni 4, 194 kJ/mol. The impurity induces a small decrease of the CO infrared frequency shift for on-top coordinated CO, compared to Ni 4, because of partial oxidation of the metal moiety. A notable difference is predicted for clusters that contain a C impurity because of the different preferred coordination mode which results in a strong CO frequency red shift of approximately 300 cm (-1). The calculated characteristic CO frequency shifts may be helpful in identifying experimentally clusters with impurity atoms. 相似文献

In many generic combustion models, one finds that a combustionwave will develop with a specific wave speed. However, thereare possible initial temperature profiles which do not evolveinto such waves, but rather die out to the ambient temperature.There can exist, in some models, a clear distinction betweenthose initial conditions that do evolve into combustion wavesand those that do not; this is sometimes referred to as thewatershed initial condition. When fuel consumption is consideredto be negligible, analytical methods can be used to obtain theexact watershed. In this paper, we consider the problem of determiningpseudo-watersheds and ascertaining the relationship betweenthese pseudo-watersheds and the exact watersheds. In the processa novel weight-function approach for infinite spatial domainsis developed. 相似文献

We used computational modeling, based on Density Functional Theory, to help understand the preference for the formation of silanol nests and the substitution of Si by Ti or Al in different crystallographic positions of the MSE-type framework. All these processes were found to be energetically favorable by more than 100 kJ/mol. We suggested an approach for experimental identification of the T atom position in Ti-MCM-68 zeolite via simulation of infrared spectra of pyridine and acetonitrile adsorption at Ti. The modeling of adsorption of hydrogen peroxide at Ti center in the framework has shown that the molecular adsorption was preferred over the dissociative adsorption by 20 to 40 kJ/mol in the presence or absence of neighboring T-atom vacancy, respectively. 相似文献

In the present communication we applied the Bayesian conditional probability approach to the wave function of a many‐electron system that resulted in the appearance of a quantum vector potential in the DFT Schrödinger equation due to electron correlation, apart from the correlation energy term. Mathematically, the effect of this vector potential is equivalent to a magnetic field that corresponds in particular to a conservative irrotational one if it is considered in connection with the correlation potential. An analysis of the effect of the correlation momentum on the electronic transitions suggested that the electron correlation increases the transition probability. 相似文献

We studied the preferential location of Ti centers in the framework of the Ti-containing MFI zeolite TS-1 using a hybrid DFT/MM embedding method developed recently. This "covalent elastic polarizable environment" (covEPE) cluster embedding allows a complete and self-consistent treatment of solid covalent systems such as zeolites. For the present study, we used a gradient-corrected density functional approach. The resulting structural features of both Si- and Ti-substituted forms of the zeolite framework fit well with available experimental information. The calculated substitution energy of Ti at the 12 crystallographically different tetrahedral sites of the MFI structure vary within 19 kJ/mol with T12 and T2 as most and least preferred sites, respectively. On the basis of these computational results and the preferential sites for Ti substitution reported from different experimental investigations, we concluded that the Ti distribution in the TS-1 framework is not governed by the thermodynamic stability of the pure material. 相似文献

The possible catalytic effect of the vicinal hydroxyl group during the ammonolysis of acetylcatechol has been studied by first principle calculations. A very efficient intramolecular catalysis was found to occur when the catechol ester o-OH group is deprotonated: the activation energy of the ammonolysis decreases by 24 kcal mol(-1) as compared to that of acetylphenol ammonolysis. Using this value, the o-oxyanion-catalysed intramolecular ammonolysis was estimated to be orders of magnitude faster than the ammonolysis of acetylphenol or nonionised acetylcatechol. The analogy with the aminolysis of peptidyl-tRNA that occurs during protein biosynthesis implies several orders of magnitude acceleration due to complete or partial deprotonation of its 3'-terminal adenosine 2'-OH providing a mechanistic possibility for general acid-base catalysis by the ribosome. 相似文献
