CO stretching vibrations on Pt(111) and Pt(110) studied by sumfrequency generation

Optical sum-frequency generation (SFG) is used to characterize CO stretching vibrations on Pt(111) and Pt(110) surfaces. Different adsorption sites (terminal, bridge and step sites) are identified in the SFG spectra of CO on Pt(111), in good quantitative agreement with previous infrared reflection-absorption experiments on this system. For CO on Pt(110) we only observe CO molecules on terminal sites. The measured CO stretching vibration frequencies on Pt(110), both for low and high coverages, are at variance with the results of previous infrared studies. Our SFG results for CO on Pt(110) are confirmed by independent EELS measurements which, in addition, also reveal the frustrated rotational mode and the metal-CO vibration. The measured frequency of 2065 cm⁻¹ for low CO coverage on Pt(110)-(1 × 2) is consistent with a previously proposed empirical relation between the frequency of an isolated adsorbed CO molecule and the coordination number of the binding Pt surface atom.

应用密度泛函理论,系统研究了Al原子在Pt(111),Ir(111)和Au(111)表面的桥位、顶位、三重面心立方(fcc)洞位和六角密排(hcp)洞位这四个典型位置的吸附情况. 主要计算了三吸附体系的几何结构、平均结合能和差分电荷密度,并系统讨论了相关原子的密立根电荷布居数和投影态密度.研究发现,对于Pt(111)和Ir(111)表面,Al原子在hcp洞位最稳定,但是对于Au(111)表面,Al原子在fcc洞位最稳定. 关键词： 吸附 密度泛函理论 结合能 电子结构     

NH_x(x=1～3)在金属Ir表面吸附与解离的第一性原理研究

采用密度泛函理论,在slab模型下,研究了NH_x(x=1~3)在Ir(100)、Ir(111)和Ir(110)表面上的最稳定吸附位置、几何构型以及逐步脱氢分解过程,计算了相应的吸附能和活化能.计算结果表明,在Ir(100)、Ir(111)面上,NH_3是以C_3轴垂直吸附在顶位,在Ir(110)上,NH_3是以N-Ir键与表面成68.6°吸附在顶位,且吸附能依赖于表面的结构而不同,相比而言,NH_3更容易吸附在开放表面Ir(100)、Ir(110)面上,说明NH_3在这些表面的吸附具有结构敏感性.NH_(x(x=1~3))的分解,在Ir(100),NH_3的吸附与分解存在竞争,在Ir(110)面NH_3最容易分解,在Ir(111)面NH_3是分子性吸附,不能分解.NH_2、NH在三个表面均能够分解,在Ir(110)面活化能均较高.     

CO on Pt(111): TDS and ESD study

Electron stimulated desorption of ionic species from CO adsorbed on Pt(111) has been studied and comparison made with EELS results. The “on-top” site which, according to EELS data, fills first is observed to yield O⁺ ion. The bridge adsorption site appears to release CO⁺ during electron bombardment. Coadsorption of H₂ and CO was also examined and compared with the polycrystalline platinum case. Only very weak coadsorption effects are seen on the Pt(111) surface, as evidenced by presence of a weak low energy component associated with the O⁺ ESD energy distribution.     

A theoretical study of CH4 dissociation on Pt(1 0 0) surface

Density functional theory calculations have been performed on the adsorption of H and CH₃, and the dissociation of CH₄ on Pt(1 0 0) surface. It was found that H was adsorbed on the top and bridge sites, while CH₃ was adsorbed only on the top site. The coadsorption of methyl and hydrogen which has also been investigated shows that the interaction between the two adsorbates is stabilising. In addition, two distinct pathways were explored, differing by the initial adsorbed state of CH₄. They converge readily to the same transition state corresponding to an activation energy value of 0.53 eV. These results compare favourably with existing data in the literature for Pt(1 1 1) and Pt(1 1 0).

基于密度泛函理论(density functional theory, DFT)的第一性原理方法研究了暴露不同原子终端的BiOBr{001}表面以及单原子Pt吸附于BiOBr{001}-BiO不同位置的几何构型、电子结构、光学性质和电荷转移.计算结果表明:BiOBr{001}面BiO终端暴露可诱导产生表面态且价带和导带能级向低能方向移动,光氧化性增强,尤其导带下方出现的表面态能级有助于光生电子-空穴对的分离和迁移,光吸收显著增强,且BiOBr{001}面BiO终端的功函数远低于贵金属Pt,有利于电荷定向转移.其次,单原子Pt吸附于BiOBr{001}-BiO为基底的表面,在禁带中间诱导产生杂质能级, Pt吸附于穴位时吸附能最小,光响应能力最好且电荷转移量最大,吸附于顶位和桥位时,形成开放性的贫电子区域,因此可预测穴位为Pt原子的吸附位点,预示其良好的降解有机污染物效果, Pt吸附于BiOBr{001}-BiO的顶位和桥位,具有潜在的CO_2还原或固氮等领域应用.     

Ar adsorptions on Al (111) and Ir (111) surfaces: a first-principles study

We investigate the adsorptions of Ar on Al (111) and Ir (111) surfaces at the four high symmetry sites, i.e., top, bridge, fcc- and hcp-hollow sites at the coverage of 0.25 monolayer (ML) using the density functional theory within the generalized gradient approximation of Perdew, Burke and Ernzerhof functions. The geometric structures, the binding energies, the electronic properties of argon atoms adsorbed on Al (111) and Ir (111) surfaces, the difference in electron density between on the Al (111) surface and on the Ir (111) surface and the total density of states are calculated. Our studies indicate that the most stable adsorption site of Ar on the Al (111) surface is found to be the fcc-hollow site for the (2 × 2) structure. The corresponding binding energy of an argon atom at this site is 0.538 eV/Ar atom at a coverage of 0.25 ML. For the Ar adsorption on Ir (111) surface at the same coverage, the most favourable site is the hcp-hollow site, with a corresponding binding energy of 0.493 eV. The total density of states (TDOS) is analysed for Ar adsorption on Al (111) surface and it is concluded that the adsorption behaviour is dominated by the interaction between 3s, 3p orbits of Ar atom and the 3p orbit of the base Al metal and the formation of sp hybrid orbital. For Ar adsorption on Ir (111) surface, the conclusion is that the main interaction in the process of Ar adsorption on Ir (111) surface comes from the 3s and 3p orbits of argon atom and 5d orbit of Ir atom.     

Structural dependence of intermediate species for the hydrogen evolution reaction on single crystal electrodes of Pt

Adsorbed hydrogen and water were measured during the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) on the low and high index planes of Pt in 0.5 M H₂SO₄ using infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy. Hydrogen is adsorbed at the atop site (atop H) on Pt(110) during the HER, whereas adsorbed hydrogen at the asymmetric bridge site (bridge H) is found on Pt(100). The band intensity of the adsorbed hydrogen depends on temperature, indicating that the bands are due to the intermediate species for the HER. The band of the atop H appears on stepped surfaces with (110) step, whereas the asymmetric bridge H is observed on Pt(211) = 3(111)–(100) and Pt(311) = 2(111)–(100) that have (100) step. The absence of the atop H on Pt(100), Pt(211), and Pt(311) can be attributed to the relative stability of the bridge site.     

Contrasting bonding configurations of acetone on Pt(111) and Ru(001) surfaces.

The comparative chemistry of acetone adsorption on Pt(111) and Ru(001) has been studied by EELS. On the more easily oxidized Ru(001) surface, acetone bonded in a side-on, η²(O,C) configuration, whereas on the well-defined. close- packed regions of the Pt(111) surface acetone adopted a weak adduct-like, end-on, η¹(O) configuration. On Pt(111), some η²(O,C) was also observed and associated with adsorption at low coordination accidental step sites.     

Cyclic voltammograms for H on Pt(111) and Pt(100) from first principles

Cyclic voltammetry is a fundamental experimental method for characterizing electrochemical surfaces. Despite its wide use, a way to quantitatively and directly relate cyclic voltammetry to ab initio calculations has been lacking. We derive the cyclic voltammogram for H on Pt(111) and Pt(100), based solely on density functional theory calculations and standard molecular tables. By relating the gas phase adsorption energy to the electrochemical electrode potential, we provide a direct link between surface science and electrochemistry.     

C_2H_x(x=4～6)在Ni(111)表面吸附的DFT研究

采用密度泛函理论与周期平板模型相结合的方法,对物种C_2H_x(x=4～6)在Ni(111)表面的top,fcc,hcp和bridge位的吸附模型进行了结构优化、能量计算,得到了各物种较有利的吸附位;并对最佳吸附位进行密立根电荷和总态密度分析.结果表明:C_2H_6和C_2H_4在Ni(111)表面的最稳定吸附位都是top位,吸附能分别是-36.41和-48.62 kJ·mol~(-1),物种与金属表面吸附较弱;而C_2H_5在Ni(111)表面的最稳定吸附位hcp的吸附能是-100.21 kJ·mol~(-1),物种与金属表面较强;三物种与金属表面之间都有电荷转移,属于化学吸附.     

Coadsorption of hydrogen and Co at Ni(110) surfaces

The adsorption of hydrogen and CO at Ni(110) surfaces has been studied using HREELS, TDS and LEED. Coadsorbed hydrogen is found to replace the top and bridge adsorption sites for CO at initially clean surfaces by one new bridge type site. The C-met vibration is shifted to lower frequency and a vibration of H is seen which is interpreted as originating from a met-H-CO complex. Thermal desorption spectra of hydrogen are strongly affected by the presence of CO at the surface and are observed to depend on the adsorption sequence. Structural information from LEED suggests that mainly cooperative adsorption phenomena are present in accordance with the TDS and HREELS data.     

NH3在Ni/Pt(111)和Ni/WC(001)表面上分解的第一性原理研究

采用密度泛函理论和slab模型,研究NH₃在Ni单原子层覆盖的Pt（111）和WC（001）表面上的物理与化学行为,计算了Ni单原子覆盖表面的电子结构以及NH₃的吸附与分解.表面覆盖的单原子层中,Ni原子的性质与Ni（111）面上的Ni原子明显不同.与Ni（111）相比,Ni/Pt（111）和Ni/WC（001）表面上Ni原子dz²轨道上的电子更多地转移到了其它位置,该轨道上电荷密度降低有利于NH₃吸附.在Ni/Pt（111）和Ni/WC（001）面上NH₃吸附能均大于Ni（111）,NH₃分子第一个N-H键断裂的活化能则明显比Ni（111）面上低,有利于NH₃的分解,吸附能增大使NH₃在Ni/Pt（111）和Ni/WC（001）面上更倾向于分解,而不是脱附.N₂分子的生成是NH₃分解的速控步骤,该反应能垒较高,说明N₂分子只有在较高温度下才能生成.WC与Pt性质相似,但Ni/Pt（111）和Ni/WC（001）的电子结构还是有差异的,与Ni（111）表面相比,NH₃在Ni/Pt（111）表面上分解速控步骤的能垒降低,而在Ni/WC（001）上却升高.要获得活性好且便宜的催化剂,需要对Ni/WC（001）表面做进一步改进,降低N₂分子生成步骤的活化能.     

Angular distribution patterns of photoelectrons from orbitals of CO adsorbed on Ni(100), Pt(111) and Pt(110)

The synchrotron radiation from BESSY has been used to measure the photoemission from CO orbitals adsorbed as ordered overlayers on Ni(100) c(2 × 2), Pt(111) c(4 × 2) and Pt(110) (2 × 1)p2mg. Angular distribution patterns of photoelectrons from CO orbitals were recorded with a display-type analyzer. The data were compared with differential photoionization cross sections calculated for free and oriented molecules. The results demonstrate the upright orientation of CO on Ni(100) and Pt(111), while CO on Pt(110) shows a marked difference which can be explained by assuming that the CO molecules are tilted in the [001] directions of Pt(110), yielding a (2 × 1)p2mg superstructure observed in LEED. The tilt angle is estimated to about 20°. The structure model is supported by the shape resonances of the 4σ (5σ) orbitals of CO/Pt(110) as compared to CO/Pt(111).     

含锰钢表面氢原子/氢分子吸附行为的第一性原理研究

采用基于密度泛函理论的第一性原理方法研究了氢原子和氢分子在纯铁表面和锰原子掺杂表面的吸附与解离行为.研究结果表明,氢原子可在纯铁(001)表面稳定吸附,吸附能按照顶位,桥位和心位依次增强;而溶质原子锰降低了氢原子距离表面的位置并强化了氢原子的吸附行为.氢分子在纯铁表面的吸附解离行为取决于氢分子距离模型表面的初始距离和初始空间构型.氢分子平行于纯铁(001)表面时,距离心位1.2?发生解离,而桥位、顶位均不会发生解离;氢分子垂直放置时,距离桥位0.6?、顶位1.0?发生解离,心位不会发生解离.氢分子平行于锰掺杂纯铁(001)表面时,距离桥位0.6?、顶位0.7?、心位1.2?发生解离;氢分子垂直放置时,距离桥位、心位0.8?发生解离,而顶位放置氢分子不发生解离.归纳可知,锰溶质原子掺杂会增加铁基体表面氢原子和氢分子的吸附作用并促进氢分子发生分解.     

The adsorption behaviours of Pt adatom on pristine and defective bilayer graphene

The structural stability and electronic property of metal Pt atom anchors on two typical substrates (including the pristine and defective bilayer graphene, PBG and DBG) are studied using the first-principles calculations. For the PBG sheets, the Pt atom at the bridge site of bottom layer has only one stable adsorption, which is more stable than other sites of the top layer. For the DBG sheets, the doped Pt below defective site has the larger adsorption energy than that of the upper one. Compared to the isolated graphene films, the Pt(111) substrate-supported graphene systems have effect on the adsorption energies of Pt adatom to some extent, but it does not affect the most preferable configurations. Moreover, the diffusion pathways and energy barriers of Pt adatom on PBG and DBG substrates are comparatively investigated. For the DBG sheets, the Pt dopant has smaller diffusion barrier on upper layer than that of the intercalation process through the defective site. Therefore, the Pt dopant prefers to diffuse on the top layer and then forms the metal impurity. This work provides valuable information on understanding the formation process and intercalation mechanism of metal adatom on graphene sheets.     

A DFT study of H adsorption on Pt(111) and Pt-Ru(111) surfaces

In this work a comparative analysis between different Pt-Ru(111) surface models and pure Pt(111) surface is presented. Some aspects of the electronic structure of the surfaces and hydrogen adsorption are analysed based on density functional theory calculations. The hydrogen adsorption energy is significantly reduced when Ru is present on the surface. The substitution of Pt atoms by Ru atoms reinforce the Pt-H bond while the metal-metal bond is strongly modified, making the system less stable.     

Oxygen dissociation at Pt steps

Using scanning tunneling microscopy, thermal energy atom scattering, and density functional theory we have characterized O (2) dissociation on Pt(111) stepped surfaces at the atomic scale. The most reactive site is at the top of the Pt steps. In both the molecular precursor state (MPS) and the transition state (TS), the O (2) has its axis aligned parallel to the step edge. Controlled step decoration with Ag monatomic chains was used to locally tune the reactivity of Pt step sites. The enhanced reactivity at the Pt step sites is not caused by a decrease of the local dissociation barriers from the MPS but is related to a stabilization of both the MPS and TS.     

H_2在Ni,Pd与Cu表面的解离吸附

Vibrational EELS studies of CO chemisorption on clean and carbided (111), (100) and (110) nickel surfaces

Room temperature adsorption of CO on bare and carbided (111), (100) and (110) nickel surfaces has been studied by vibrational electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) and thermal desorption. On the clean (100) and (110) surfaces two configurations of CO adsorbed species, namely “terminal” and bridge bonded CO, are observed simultaneously. On Ni(111), only two-fold sites are involved. The presence of superficial carbon lowers markedly the bond strength of CO on Ni(111)C and Ni(110)C surfaces, while no adsorption has been detected on the Ni(100)C surface. Moreover, on the carbided Ni(110)C surface, the adsorption mode for adsorbed CO is changed with respect to the clean surface; only “terminal” CO is then observed.
