NiO(001)面吸附NO电子结构的理论研究

用嵌入点电荷的簇为模型,采用B3LYP方法研究了NO在NiO(001)面上不同吸附位置和不同吸附方式的电子结构,并计算了振动频率。结果表明在完整表面上最稳定的吸附方式是N端歪斜吸附在Ni位,这与实验结果相符;而在缺陷表面上,NO以直线方式吸附在角位上最为稳定。振动频率计算表明,NO吸附后NO振动频率红移约50cm-1。我们根据价轨道电子密度图解释了NO吸附后振动频率红移的原因,这个解释完全不同于传统认为的3d对2π的反馈键理论。

An ONIOM and DFT study of water and ammonia adsorption on anatase TiO2 (001) cluster

Density functional theory (DFT) calculations at ONIOM DFT B3LYP/ 6‐31G**‐MD/UFF level are employed to study molecular and dissociative water and ammonia adsorption on anatase TiO₂ (001) surface represented by partially relaxed Ti₂₀O₃₅ ONIOM cluster. DFT calculations indicate that water molecule is dissociated on anatase TiO₂ (001) surface by a nonactivated process with an exothermic relative energy difference of 58.12 kcal/mol. Dissociation of ammonia molecule on the same surface is energetically more favorable than molecular adsorption of ammonia (?37.17 kcal/mol vs. ?23.28 kcal/mol). The vibration frequency values also are computed for the optimized geometries of adsorbed water and ammonia molecules on anatase TiO₂ (001) surface. The computed adsorption energy and vibration frequency values are comparable with the values reported in the literature. Finally, several thermodynamical properties (ΔH°, ΔS°, and ΔG°) are calculated for temperatures corresponding to the experimental studies. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Surface dependence of CO2 adsorption on Zn2GeO4

An understanding of the interaction between Zn(2)GeO(4) and the CO(2) molecule is vital for developing its role in the photocatalytic reduction of CO(2). In this study, we present the structure and energetics of CO(2) adsorbed onto the stoichiometric perfectly and the oxygen vacancy defect of Zn(2)GeO(4) (010) and (001) surfaces using density functional theory slab calculations. The major finding is that the surface structure of the Zn(2)GeO(4) is important for CO(2) adsorption and activation, i.e., the interaction of CO(2) with Zn(2)GeO(4) surfaces is structure-dependent. The ability of CO(2) adsorption on (001) is higher than that of CO(2) adsorption on (010). For the (010) surface, the active sites O(2c)···Ge(3c) and Ge(3c)-O(3c) interact with the CO(2) molecule leading to a bidentate carbonate species. The presence of Ge(3c)-O(2c)···Ge(3c) bonds on the (001) surface strengthens the interaction of CO(2) with the (001) surface, and results in a bridged carbonate-like species. Furthermore, a comparison of the calculated adsorption energies of CO(2) adsorption on perfect and defective Zn(2)GeO(4) (010) and (001) surfaces shows that CO(2) has the strongest adsorption near a surface oxygen vacancy site, with an adsorption energy -1.05 to -2.17 eV, stronger than adsorption of CO(2) on perfect Zn(2)GeO(4) surfaces (E(ads) = -0.91 to -1.12 eV) or adsorption of CO(2) on a surface oxygen defect site (E(ads) = -0.24 to -0.95 eV). Additionally, for the defective Zn(2)GeO(4) surfaces, the oxygen vacancies are the active sites. CO(2) that adsorbs directly at the Vo site can be dissociated into CO and O and the Vo defect can be healed by the oxygen atom released during the dissociation process. On further analysis of the dissociative adsorption mechanism of CO(2) on the surface oxygen defect site, we concluded that dissociative adsorption of CO(2) favors the stepwise dissociation mechanism and the dissociation process can be described as CO(2) + Vo → CO(2)(δ-)/Vo → CO(adsorbed) + O(surface). This result has an important implication for understanding the photoreduction of CO(2) by using Zn(2)GeO(4) nanoribbons.     

First-principles Periodic Density Functional Study of CO Adsorption on Spinel-type CuCr2O4 (100) Surface

The catalytic properties of CuCr2O4 with the cubic normal spinel-type structure were discussed by means of studying CO adsorption on the CuCr2O4 (100) surface in the framework of density functional theory. The results of geometry optimization show that CO prefers to adsorb at a Cu site with the adsorption energy of 133.2 kJ/mol. The adsorptions at all sites lead to a decrease in C-O stretching frequency, an increase in C-O bond length and a net positive Mulliken charge for the CO molecule. Population analysis indicates that the charges transfer from the CO molecule to substrate. The density of states for CO molecule before and after adsorption are also computed to discuss the bonding mechanism of CO.     

Effect of Hydrogen on O2 Adsorption and Dissociation on a TiO2 Anatase (001) Surface

The effect of hydrogen on the adsorption and dissociation of the oxygen molecule on a TiO₂ anatase (001) surface is studied by first‐principles calculations coupled with the nudged elastic band (NEB) method. Hydrogen adatoms on the surface can increase the absolute value of the adsorption energy of the oxygen molecule. A single H adatom on an anatase (001) surface can lower dramatically the dissociation barrier of the oxygen molecule. The adsorption energy of an O₂ molecule is high enough to break the O?O bond. The system energy is lowered after dissociation. If two H adatoms are together on the surface, an oxygen molecule can be also strongly adsorbed, and the adsorption energy is high enough to break the O?O bond. However, the system energy increases after dissociation. Because dissociation of the oxygen molecule on a hydrogenated anatase (001) surface is more efficient, and the oxygen adatoms on the anatase surface can be used to oxidize other adsorbed toxic small gas molecules, hydrogenated anatase is a promising catalyst candidate.     

CO在α-U(001)表面的吸附

采用密度泛函理论中的广义梯度近似,计算了CO在α-U(001)表面的吸附、解离和扩散.结果表明:CO分子以CU3OU2构型化学吸附在α-U(001)表面,吸附能为1.78-1.99eV;吸附后表层U原子向上迁移,伴随着褶皱的产生;CO分子与表面U原子的相互作用主要是U原子的电子向CO分子最低空轨道2π*转移,以及CO2π*/5σ/1π-U6d轨道间杂化而生成新的化学键;CO解离吸附较分子吸附在能量上更为有利,h1(C)+h2(O)和h1(C)+h1(O)(h:空位)解离态吸附能分别为2.71和3.08eV;近邻三重穴位之间C、O原子的扩散能垒分别为0.57和0.14eV,预示O原子较C原子更易在U(001)表面扩散迁移.

NBO,AIM, and TD-DFT assisted screening of BNNT optimum diameter on ethyl phosphorodimethylamidocyanidate sensor design

A computational study based on DFT calculations was performed to investigate the effect of phosphorodimethylamidocyanidate (PDMAC) molecule adsorption on the surface of pure and Ga-doped (4,0), (5,0), (6,0), (7,0), and (8,0) zigzag boron-nitride nanotubes (BNNTs). Our results reveal that the interactions between PDMAC molecule and (5,0), (6,0), (7,0), and (8,0) BNNTs are weak. However, according to the AIM and NBO analysis the PDMAC exhibits strong affinity towards the (4,0) BNNT with appreciable adsorption energy (?111.03 kJ/mol). The adsorption of PDMAC molecule onto the (4,0) BNNT affect the electronic conductance, hypsochromic, and hyperchromic shifts in the calculated UV-Visible spectrum. Based on the obtained results, it is expected that the pristine and Ga-doped (4,0) BNNT could be promising candidates in gas sensor devices for detecting the PDMAC molecule.
