CeO2(110)表面上CO氧化反应的密度泛函理论研究

利用密度泛函理论系统研究了O2与CO在CeO2(110)表面的吸附反应行为. 研究表明, O2在洁净的CeO2(110)表面吸附热力学不利, 而在氧空位表面为强化学吸附, O2分子被活化, 可能是重要的氧化反应物种. CO在洁净的CeO2(110)表面有化学吸附与物理吸附两种构型, 前者形成二齿碳酸盐物种, 后者与表面仅存在弱的相互作用. 在氧空位表面, CO可分子吸附或形成碳酸盐物种, 相应吸附能均较低. 当表面氧空位吸附O2后(O2/Ov), CO可吸附生成碳酸盐或直接生成CO2, 与原位红外光谱结果相一致. 过渡态计算发现,O2/Ov/CeO2(110)表面的三齿碳酸盐物种经两齿、单齿过渡态脱附生成CO2. 利用扩展休克尔分子轨道理论分析了典型吸附构型的电子结构, 说明表面碳酸盐物种三个氧原子电子存在离域作用, 物理吸附的CO及生成的CO2电子结构与相应自由分子相似.     

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。     

预吸附氧对NO在Pt(110)表面吸附和分解的影响

 利用程序升温反应谱、X射线光电子能谱和高分辨电子能量损失谱研究了NO在清洁和预吸附氧的Pt(110)表面的吸附和分解. 在清洁的Pt(110)表面,室温下低覆盖度时NO以桥式吸附为主,高覆盖度时NO以线式吸附为主. 加热过程中部分NO(主要是桥式吸附物种)分解,生成N2和N2O. 室温下O2在Pt(110)表面发生解离吸附. Pt(110)表面预吸附氧会抑制桥式吸附NO的生成,并导致其脱附温度降低40 K. 降低脱附温度有利于桥式吸附NO的分子脱附,从而抑制分解反应. 这些结果从表面化学的角度合理地解释了铂催化剂在富氧条件下对NO分解能力的降低.     

密度泛函方法探究羧基化碳纳米管的结构

采用密度泛函方法,构建了物理及化学吸附的羧基化碳纳米管,并优化一系列可能的构型,最终得到两种处理方式下的最稳定构型,对比及分析了构型的结构参数和电子分布。结果表明,羧基在碳纳米管表明发生物理吸附和化学吸附,将导致不同的杂化方式;当羧基以物理吸附的方式吸附在碳纳米管上时,其负电荷主要云集于羧基和吸附碳表面;当其以化学吸附的形式吸附在碳纳米管表面时,其负电荷则分散于碳纳米管表面以及吸附碳上。     

噻吩在猝冷骨架Ni上吸附脱硫的XPS研究

采用X射线光电子能谱(XPS)研究了室温下噻吩在猝冷骨架Ni吸附剂上的吸附及受热分解行为. 研究结果表明, 298 K时噻吩首先在吸附剂表面发生C—S键断裂, 生成原子硫及含金属的有机环状化合物. 当吸附剂表面完全被解离物种覆盖后, 发生噻吩的多层物理吸附. 加热至373 K, 大部分物理吸附的噻吩直接脱附, 其余部分在碳物种脱附后暴露的Ni表面上发生解离. 473 K时表面的碳物种消失, 而残留在样品上的硫均转化为硫化镍.      

CuNaY分子筛的有效吸附位与其脱硫性能的关联性研究

以液相离子交换法制备了一系列不同Cu负载量的CuNaY分子筛;采用XRD及N₂吸附-脱附表征分子筛的微观结构和织构性质,采用动态吸附法考察其对噻吩模拟油的吸附脱硫性能,结合NH₃-TPD和Py-FTIR方法对CuNaY分子筛的酸量和有效Cu⁺物种进行定量分析,研究了CuNaY分子筛的表面酸性和铜物种形态结构对其吸附脱硫性能的影响机制。结果表明,通过改变铜负载量可有效调控改性Y分子筛的表面酸性以及铜物种化学形态;适量铜物种的引入可以最大限度的形成有效吸附位,从而获得最优吸附脱硫性能,而过量的Cu物种会在Y分子筛笼内形成多核铜物种结构,导致有效吸附位点的减少,影响其对噻吩的吸附能力。     

PFOS在锐钛型TiO2表面吸附行为的理论研究

采用密度泛函理论(DFT)B3LYP方法对全氟辛烷磺酸(PFOS)在锐钛型TiO2表面的化学吸附和物理吸附行为进行了研究,其中化学吸附包含双齿双核(BB)和单齿单核(MM)在内的4种可能的吸附构型.吸附能(Eads)及反应吉布斯自由能(ΔGads)的计算结果表明,PFOS分子易于与TiO2表面发生氢键作用吸附;化学吸附表现为PFOS分子与TiO2表面的水分子(H2O)和羟基(—OH)反应,且与取代—OH相比,H2O取代相对更容易发生,其中,MM1构型(取代一个表面水分子)为化学吸附中的优势构型.PFOS在锐钛矿表面吸附的热力学稳定性和反应自发性顺序如下:H-Bonded(氢键吸附)>MM1(取代一个表面水分子)>BB1(取代两个表面水分子)>MM2(取代一个表面羟基)>BB2(取代一个表面水分子和一个表面羟基).成键结构分析表明,TiO2表面H2O/—OH官能团与PFOS上的磺酸基之间形成了中等强度的氢键;在化学吸附过程中,电荷从PFOS分子向TiO2表面发生转移,生成Ti—O—S化学键,电荷转移主要来自PFOS分子的O和F原子.     

CO在CeO2(111)表面的吸附与氧化

采用密度泛函理论计算了CO在CeO2(111)表面的吸附与氧化反应行为. 结果表明, O2在洁净的CeO2(111)表面为弱物理吸附, 而在氧空位表面是强化学吸附, 且O2分子活化程度较大, O—O键长为0.143 nm. CO在CeO2(111)表面吸附行为的研究表明, CO在洁净表面及氧空位表面上为物理吸附, 吸附能均小于0.42 eV; 当表面氧空位吸附O2后, CO可吸附生成二齿碳酸盐中间体或直接生成CO2, 与原位红外光谱结果相一致. 表面碳酸盐物种脱附生成CO2的能垒仅为0.28 eV. 计算结果表明, 当CeO2表面存在氧空位时, Hubbard参数U对CO吸附能有一定的影响. CeO2载体在氧化反应中可能的催化作用为, 在氧气氛下, CeO2表面氧空位吸附O2分子, 形成活性氧物种, 参与CO催化氧化反应.

Role of the Support in Catalysis: Activation of a Mononuclear Ruthenium Complex for Ethene Dimerization by Chemisorption on Dealuminated Zeolite Y

A set of supported ruthenium complexes with systematically varied ratios of chemisorbed to physisorbed species was formed by contacting cis‐[Ru(acac)₂(C₂H₄)₂] ( I ; acac=C₅H₇O₂^?) with dealuminated zeolite Y. Extended X‐ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectra used to characterize the samples confirmed the systematic variation in the loadings of the two supported species and demonstrated that removal of bidentate acac ligands from I accompanied chemisorption to form [Ru(acac)(C₂H₄)₂]⁺ attached through two Ru? O bonds to the Al sites of the zeolite. A high degree of uniformity in the chemisorbed species was demonstrated by sharp bands in the infrared (IR) spectrum characteristic of ruthenium dicarbonyls that formed when CO reacted with the anchored complex. When the ruthenium loading exceeded 1.0 wt % (Ru/Al≈1:6), the additional adsorbed species were simply physisorbed. Ethene ligands on the chemisorbed species reacted to form butenes when the temperature was raised to approximately 393 K; acac ligands remained bonded to Ru. In contrast, ethene ligands on the physisorbed complex simply desorbed under the same conditions. The chemisorption activated the ruthenium complex and facilitated dimerization of the ethene, which occurred catalytically. IR and EXAFS spectra of the supported samples indicate that 1) Ru centers in the chemisorbed species are more electron deficient than those in the physisorbed species and 2) Ru–ethene bonds in the chemisorbed species are less symmetric than those in the physisorbed species, which implies the presence of a preferred configuration for the catalytic dimerization.     

Surface modification of TiO2 nanoparticles with AHAPS aminosilane: distinction between physisorption and chemisorption

This paper addresses the surface modification of TiO₂ nanoparticles with n-(6-aminohexyl)aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (AHAPS) using various initial aminosilane concentrations. The main objective of this article is to show experimentally the importance of the physisorption during the grafting process. The distinction between chemisorbed and physisorbed aminosilane molecules on TiO₂ is thoroughly analyzed. The surface of bare and modified TiO₂ particles has been characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) to gain a better understanding of the adsorption mechanism of AHAPS on TiO₂. Quantitative information on surface energy of TiO₂, in terms of adsorption energy sites and heterogeneity, has been investigated by quasi-equilibrium low-pressure adsorption technique using nitrogen and argon as probe molecules. The FTIR and XPS data are combined to estimate and discuss the chemisorbed and physisorbed contribution. The results demonstrate that both physisorption and chemisorption occurs but they display a different behavior. The physisorbed amounts are much higher than the chemisorbed amounts. This shows that the main part of the adsorbed layer is composed of physisorbed molecules. The physisorbed uptake depends highly on the AHAPS concentration while the chemisorbed amount remains constant. Quasi-equilibrium Ar derivative adsorption isotherms reveal that the AHAPS molecules are mostly located on the {101} and {001} faces of titania and that the two faces display the same reactivity toward AHAPS sorption. Nitrogen adsorption experiments show that the sorption takes place on the three polar surface sites of high energy. The molecules are chemisorbed onto the site displaying the highest energy while they are physisorbed on the two lower energy sites.     

Effect of molecular adsorption on water permeability of microporous membranes

The rate of water permeation through a microporous membrane is affected markedly by adsorption of hydrocarbon impurities and/or trace amounts of organic ions such as H(CH₂₁₇CO₂^- and H(CH₂)₁₆NR₃⁺. Neutral and cationic hydrocarbon impurities are physisorbed primarily at the microcapillary outlets on the low-pressure side of an electropositive filter. Adsorption of the former at these critical sites causes flow through the affected capillaries to stop, and total flow to decrease accordingly, whereas adsorption of the latter at these sites causes a marked increase in total flow. Organic anions and molecules with electron donor substituents are chemisorbed on the high-pressure side of an electropositive filter. Those molecules that are held only by monodentate adsorption migrate through the microcapillaries to the low-pressure side of the filter as in ion-exchange chromatography, during which time water permeation is impeded significantly. Multidentate adsorbed molecules, such as gelatin or polyvinyl alcohol, are relatively immobile. Filters modified on one side only by such molecules exhibit marked anisotropic permeability, i.e., flow in one direction is much greater than in the other.     

Electroreduction of carbon dioxide: Part III. Adsorption and reduction of CO2 on platinum

The main properties of reductional adsorption of CO₂ on the platinum metals are studied. Chemisorbed particles are found to be produced only on platinum and rhodium. Electroreduction of CO₂ on these metals proceeds as a result of the interaction of CO₂ molecules activated in the course of adsorption on the metal surface with chemisorbed hydrogen. As a result, strongly chemisorbed particles are obtained on the surface which are the products of more profound reduction of CO₂ than to formic acid. The further reduction of these chemisorbed particles, accompanied by their desorption into the solution, is very slow due to very strong coupling of sorbed particles with the surface and to very fast backward adsorption of the reduction products. Neither reductional chemisorption of CO₂ nor interactions of CO₂ with adsorbed hydrogen were observed for iridium, palladium, osmium or ruthenium.     

Temperature-programmed desorption/pulse surface reaction (tpd/tpsr) studies of CH4, C2H6, C2H4, and CO over a cobalt/MWNTs catalyst

Summary Temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) of CH₄, C₂H₆, C₂H₄, and CO and temperature-programmed pulse surface reactions (TPSR) of CH₄, C₂H₆, C₂H₄, CO, and CO/H₂ over a Co/MWNTs catalyst have been investigated. The TPD results indicated that CH₄ and C₂H₆ mainly exist as physisorbed species on the Co/MWNTs catalyst surface, whilst C₂H₄ and CO exist as both physisorbed and chemisorbed species. The TPSR results indicated that CH₄ and C₂H₆ do not undergo reaction between room temperature and 450^oC. Pulsed C₂H₄ can be transformed into CH₄ at 400 ^oC whilst pulsed CO can be transformed into CO₂ at 100 or 150^oC. In gaseous mixtures of CO and H₂ containing excess CO, the products of pulsed reaction were CH₃CHO and CH₃OH. When the ratio of CO and H₂ was 1:2, pulsed CO and H₂ were transformed into CH₃CHO, CH₃OH and CH₄. In H₂ gas flow, pulsed CO was transformed into a mixture of CH₃CHO and CH₄ between 200 and 250^oC and was transformed into CH₄ only above 250^oC.     

Adsorption of CO2 and Coadsorption of H and CO2 on Potassium‐Promoted Cu(115)

The influence of potassium, in the submonolayer regime, on the adsorption and coadsorption of CO₂ and H on a stepped copper surface, Cu(115), has been studied by photoelectron spectroscopy, temperature‐programmed desorption, and work‐function measurements. Based on the fast recording of C 1s and O 1s core‐level spectra, the uptake of CO₂ on K/Cu(115) surfaces at 120 K has been followed in real time, and the different reaction products have been identified. The K 2p_3/2 peak exhibits a chemical shift of ?0.4 eV with CO₂ saturation, the C 1s peaks of the CO₃ and the CO species show shifts of ?0.8 and ?0.5 eV, respectively, and the C 1s peak of the physisorbed CO₂ exhibits no shift. The effects of gradually heating the CO₂/K/Cu(115) surface include the desorption of physisorbed CO₂ at 143 K; the desorption of CO at 193 K; the ordering of the CO₃ species, and subsequently the dissociation of the carbonate with desorption at 520–700 K. Formate, HCOO^?, was synthesized by the coadsorption of H and CO₂ on the K/Cu(115) surface at 125 K. Formate formed exclusively for potassium coverages of less than 0.4 monolayer, whereas both formate and carbonate were formed at higher coverages. The desorption of formate‐derived CO₂ took place in the temperature range 410–425 K and carbonate‐derived CO₂ desorbed at 645–660 K, depending on the potassium coverage.     

FTIR-ATR-spectroscopic investigation of the silanization of germanium surfaces with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane

Summary The adsorption of 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (3-APTS) on germanium crystals was investigated using Attenuated Total Reflection (ATR) spectroscopy. Ethanol, which is produced by the hydrolysis of 3-APTS in water, adsorbs on germanium prior to 3-APTS. This can be checked by the CH₃-modes at 1150 cm^–1 and 2975 cm^–1. The structure differences between chemisorbed and physisorbed 3-APTS can be observed by the shift of the Si-O-Si bands of the silane molecules. The asymmetric and symmetric stretch bands for chemisorbed 3-APTS occurs at 1096 cm^–1 and 1022 cm^–1, whereas, the bands for physisorbed 3-APTS are found at 1115 cm^–1 and 1038 cm^–1. The amino groups of physisorbed 3-APTS display two strong bands at 1566 cm^–1 and 1485 cm^–1 which result from amino groups strongly hydrogen bonded to free silanols. The deformation modes of the amino groups in chemisorbed layers can be found at 1609 cm^–1 and 1512 cm^–1, which is due to the deformation modes of the free amino groups. A controlled chemisorption is important for the development of chemical IR-sensors [15].

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.     

Horizontal and vertical configurations of molecular N2O on W(110) and Ru(001)

The adsorption of N₂O on W(110) and Ru(001) has been investigated by means of XPS and UPS including some angle-dependent measurements. Besides dissociation, molecular N₂O states were observed, which could be identified to be physisorbed horizontally. On Ru(001), an additional weakly chemisorbed state can coexist which is vertically adsorbed via its terminal N atom.
