CO2在Fe3O4(111)表面的吸附结构及能量研究

利用密度泛函理论研究了CO₂在Fe₃O₄（111）表面Fe_tet1和Fe_oct2两种终结的吸附行为。在Fe_tet1终结表面,当覆盖度为1/5 ML时,CO₂倾向于线性吸附;而在高覆盖度下,弯曲的CO₂与表面O作用形成CO₃^2-结构。在Fe_oct2终结表面,CO₂倾向于弯曲吸附,在1/6 ML和1/3 ML覆盖度时都可以形成CO₃^2-和-COO结构。覆盖度对Fe_tet1终结的表面影响很弱,但是对Fe_oct2终结的表面影响很大。从热力学上来说,CO₂在Fe_oct2终结表面的吸附要比Fe_tet1终结表面更有利。     

A density-functional theory study of the interaction of N2O with Rh110

The adsorption of nitrous oxide, N2O, on a Rh110 surface has been characterized by using density-functional theory. N2O was found to bind to the surface in two alternative forms. The first, less stable form is tilted with the terminal N atom attached to the surface, while the second, more stable form lies horizontally on the surface. Adsorption on the on-top site is more stable than that on the bridge site. The tilted form remains linear on adsorption, while the horizontal form is bent, with the terminal-nitrogen and oxygen atoms pointing towards the surface. At lower adsorbate coverage, Theta less than or similar to 1/4 ML (ML-monolayer), the adsorption of a few horizontal N2O configurations is dissociative, i.e., N2O-->N2(a)+O(a). The N2O-surface interaction is discussed in terms of the electronic structure analysis.     

Dissociative adsorption of carbon monoxide on Mo(110): first-principles theory

The adsorption and dissociation of carbon monoxide on Mo (110) surface is studied with density functional theory. The results at different sites (atop, short bridge, long bridge, and hollow) are presented. The hollow site is found to be the most stable adsorption site for CO. The CO molecule is found to adsorb in end-on configurations (alpha states) at high coverage and inclined configurations (beta states) at low coverage. The dissociation activation energy from beta states is found to be approximately 1 eV lower than from alpha state. The adsorption of dissociation products, C and O, on Mo(110) has also been studied. The most stable adsorption site for C and O is long bridge and hollow site, respectively. The adsorption of C and O at low coverage is, in general, stronger than at high coverage, which is partly responsible for the high reactivity of CO dissociation at low coverage, since the binding energy of CO is not very sensitive to the coverage.     

基于密度泛函理论计算的CO2在SrTiO3(100)表面的吸附

通过密度泛函理论的第一性原理,模拟了CO2分子在SrTiO3(100)表面TiO2-和SrO-位点上的吸附行为,获得了CO2在几种不同吸附模型下的结构参数及表面吸附能,进而研究了吸附机理和结构稳定性.计算结果表明,当CO2的C原子吸附在SrTiO3(100)表面SrO-及TiO2-位点的氧原子上时,吸附结构较稳定,尤其是C、O原子共吸附在TiO2-位点时最稳定,而其余吸附模型则不稳定.对吸附稳定模型的Mulliken布局数及态密度分析显示:CO2分子在SrTiO3(100)表面吸附主要是由于SrTiO3(100)面的电子跃迁至CO2分子,CO2分子得到电子形成弯曲的CO2-阴离子结构,并伴随着C-O键的伸长,从而达到吸附活化CO2的目的.

Adsorption, vibration, and diffusion of O atoms on Rh low-index and (711) stepped defective surfaces

The adsorption, vibration, and diffusion of O atoms on Rh(100), Rh(111), Rh(110), and Rh(711) surfaces were studied using the 5-parameter Morse potential (5-MP) of interaction between an adatom and a metal surface cluster. Our theoretical calculations provide information about adsorption sites, adsorption geometry, binding energy, and eigenvibration. Our results agreed very well with experimental results. Four major results follow. First, the theoretical calculation showed that on the Rh(100) surface the 4-fold hollow site is the only adsorption site. Second, on the O-Rh(111) system, the 3-fold hollow site is the stable adsorption site. Third, on the Rh(110) surface at low coverage, the O atom is adsorbed preferably on the pseudo-3-fold site, while with increasing coverage, the O atom is adsorbed not only on the pseudo-3-fold site but also on the long bridge site. Last, as for the Rh(711) stepped surface, the 3-fold site on the (111) step is metastable, whereas the 4-fold sites on the (100) terrace are stable, which enables the O atoms to diffuse easily from the 3-fold to the 4-fold site at low coverage. Therefore, the O atoms are adsorbed preferrably on the stable 4-fold sites of the (100) terrace and then later as coverage increases on the metastable 3-fold site of the (110) step.     

Adsorption of carbon monoxide on Pd (210) and (510) surfaces

Adsorption of carbon monoxide on Pd (210) and (510) stepped surfaces has been investigated by the extended London‐Eyring‐Polyani‐Sato method constructed using a five‐parameter Morse potential. Pd (210) and (510) stepped surfaces consist of terrace with (100) structure and step with (110) character. These results show that there exist common characteristics of CO adsorption on these two surfaces. At low coverage, CO adsorbs in twofold bridge site of the (100) terrace. The critical characteristics inherit that of CO molecule adsorbed in twofold bridge site of (100) original surface. When the coverage is increased, the top site of (110) step is occupied. The critical characteristics resemble that of CO molecule adsorbed in top site of (110) original surface. A number of new sites are exposed on the boundary regions, for example, the fivefold hollow site (H) of these two surfaces. There are stable adsorption sites at high coverage. Because of the different length of the (100) terrace, the (210) and (510) stepped surfaces have some different characteristics. First, CO is tilted adsorption on bridge site of terrace of (210), but perpendicular on terrace of (510) surface. Second, the bridge site (B₁) where one Pd atom at the top of the step and the other at the bottom of the step is a stable adsorption site on (210), but the same type of site on Pd (510) surface is not.

Theoretical study of CO adsorption on gold/alumina substrates

Aiming to understand the role of the substrate in the adsorption of carbon monoxide on gold clusters supported on metal-oxides, we have started a study of that process on two different alumina substrates: an amorphous-like fully relaxed stoichiometric (Al2O3)20 cluster and the Al terminated (0001) surface of alpha-(Al2O3) crystal. In this paper, we present first principles calculations for the adsorption of one Au atom on both alumina substrate and the adsorption of Au8 on (Al2O3)20. Then, we study the CO adsorption on the minimum energy structure of these three different gold/alumina systems. A single Au adsorbs preferably on top of an Al atom with low coordination, the binding energy being higher in the case of Au/(Al2O3)20. CO absorbs preferably on top of the Au atom, but in the case of Au/(Al2O3)20, Au forms a bridge with the Al and O substrate atoms after CO adsorption. We find other stable sites for CO adsorption on the cluster but not on the surface. This result suggests that the Au activity toward CO may be larger for the amorphous cluster than for the crystal surface substrate. For the most stable Au8/(Al2O3)20 configuration, two Au atoms bind to Al and a O atoms respectively and CO adsorbs on top of the Au which binds to the Al atom. We find other CO adsorption sites on supported Au8 which are not stable for the free Au8 cluster.     

Catalytic role of gold in gold-based catalysts: a density functional theory study on the CO oxidation on gold

Gold-based catalysts have been of intense interests in recent years, being regarded as a new generation of catalysts due to their unusually high catalytic performance. For example, CO oxidation on Au/TiO(2) has been found to occur at a temperature as low as 200 K. Despite extensive studies in the field, the microscopic mechanism of CO oxidation on Au-based catalysts remains controversial. Aiming to provide insight into the catalytic roles of Au, we have performed extensive density functional theory calculations for the elementary steps in CO oxidation on Au surfaces. O atom adsorption, CO adsorption, O(2) dissociation, and CO oxidation on a series of Au surfaces, including flat surfaces, defects and small clusters, have been investigated in detail. Many transition states involved are located, and the lowest energy pathways are determined. We find the following: (i) the most stable site for O atom on Au is the bridge site of step edge, not a kink site; (ii) O(2) dissociation on Au (O(2)-->2O(ad)) is hindered by high barriers with the lowest barrier being 0.93 eV on a step edge; (iii) CO can react with atomic O with a substantially lower barrier, 0.25 eV, on Au steps where CO can adsorb; (iv) CO can react with molecular O(2) on Au steps with a low barrier of 0.46 eV, which features an unsymmetrical four-center intermediate state (O-O-CO); and (v) O(2) can adsorb on the interface of Au/TiO(2) with a reasonable chemisorption energy. On the basis of our calculations, we suggest that (i) O(2) dissociation on Au surfaces including particles cannot occur at low temperatures; (ii) CO oxidation on Au/inactive-materials occurs on Au steps via a two-step mechanism: CO+O(2)-->CO(2)+O, and CO+O-->CO(2); and (iii) CO oxidation on Au/active-materials also follows the two-step mechanism with reactions occurring at the interface.     

Study of CO adsorption on perfect and defective pyrite(100)surfaces by density functional theory

First-principles calculations based on density functional theory (DFT) and the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) have been used to study the adsorption of CO molecule on the perfect and defective FeS 2 (100) surfaces. The defective Fe 2 S(100) surfaces are caused by sulfur deficiencies. Slab geometry and periodic boundary conditions are employed with partial relaxations of atom positions in calculations. Two molecular orientations, Cand O-down, at various distinct sites have been considered. Total energy calculations indicated that no matter on perfect or deficient surfaces, the Fe position is relatively more favored than the S site with the predicted binding energies of 120.8 kJ/mol and 140.8 kJ/mol, respectively. Moreover, CO was found to be bound to Fe atom in vertical configuration. The analysis of density of states and vibrational frequencies before and after adsorption showed clear changes of the C–O bond.     

Theoretical study of NH3 adsorption on Fe(110) and Fe(111) surfaces

With the aim of understanding the nature of the interactions between organic molecules and metal surfaces, the adsorption of NH3 onto model Fe(110) and Fe(111) surfaces has been studied with use of the molecular orbital and density functional theories. B3LYP calculations have revealed that the on-top site is most suitable for adsorption of NH3 both on Fe(110) and on Fe(111). Mulliken population analysis in terms of the MO's of the two fragment systems suggested that electron delocalization from NH3 to the Fe surface should play a key role in the adsorption. Then, our transformation scheme of fragment orbitals has demonstrated that the electron delocalization is represented well only by a pair of interaction orbitals. The NH3 molecule provides the occupied interaction orbital bearing a close resemblance to the highest occupied (HO) MO, whereas the Fe surface prepares the paired unoccupied orbital that is localized at the adsorption site and overlaps in-phase with the orbital of NH3. Not only the lowest unoccupied (LU) MO but also other unoccupied MO's have been shown to participate significantly in the interaction. The reason the on-top site is the most preferable position for NH3 attack has been elucidated by investigating the interaction orbitals.     

A Density Functional Theory Study on the Adsorption of CN on Ni(111) Surface

1 INTRODUCTION Cyanide, CN, is an important free-radical mole-cule of one carbon chemistry, organic chemistry, free-radical chemistry and cosmochemistry. And the im-portant industrial processes, such as the Andrussovreaction, depend on the reactivity of CN bond[1]. Thechemistry of cyanide is also important in the surfacechemistry of a number of C- and N-containing sys-tems[1, .

A Density Functional Theory Study on the Adsorption of CN on Ni（Ⅲ） Surface

The interaction of cyanide (CN) with different sites on Ni(111) surface is studied by using density functional theory (DPT). Ni19 cluster is used to simulate the surface. The present calculations show that the end-on bonded (through C atom) configuration is much more preferable than the side-on bonded CN or other configurations on the same adsorption site. For all adsorption modes, adsorption energies at the top, bridge, and three-fold sites on Ni(111) are comparable, with the bridge site of the end-on bonded CN (through C atom) more favorable than other adsorption sites. CN vibrational frequencies are red-shifted at all cases, except that the end-on CN bonded(through C atom) on the top site is blue-shifted. The bonding of CN on the Ni(111) surface is largely ionic.     

Structures and energies of coadsorbed CO and H2 on Fe5C2(001), Fe5C2(110), and Fe5C2(100)

Density functional theory calculations have been carried out on the CO/H2 coadsorption on the (001), (110), and (100) surfaces of Fe5C2 for the understanding of the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) mechanism. The stable surface species changes with the variation of the H2 and CO coverage. Along with dissociated hydrogen and adsorbed CO in 2-, 3-, and 4-fold configurations, methylidyne (C(s)H) (C(s), surface carbon), ketenylidene (C(s)CO), ketenyl (C(s)HCO), ketene (C(s)H2CO), and carbon suboxide (C(s)C2O2) are computed as thermodynamically stable surface species on Fe5C2(001) and Fe5C2(110) containing both surface iron and carbon atoms. These surface carbon species can be considered as the preliminary stages for FTS. On Fe5C2(100) with only iron atoms on the surface layer, the stable surface species is dissociated hydrogen and CO with top and 2-fold configurations. The bonding nature of these adsorbed carbon species has been analyzed.

Oxygen Atom Adsorption and Diffusion on Pd Low-index Surfaces and （311） Stepped Surface

Introduction Atom adsorption on transition metal surfaces has attracted special attention as a base for understanding the fundamental processes of oxidative catalysis. Particularly interesting is the adsorption and diffusion of oxygen on well-defined metal surfaces.

Adsorption and protonation of CO2 on partially hydroxylated gamma-Al2O3 surfaces: a density functional theory study

Adsorption and protonation of CO2 on the (110) and (100) surfaces of gamma-Al2O3 have been studied using density functional theory slab calculations. On the dry (110) and (100) surfaces, the O-Al bridge sites were found to be energetically favorable for CO2 adsorption. The adsorbed CO2 was bound in a bidentate configuration across the O-Al bridge sites, forming a carbonate species. The strongest binding with an adsorption energy of 0.80 eV occurs at the O3c-Al5c bridge site of the (100) surface. Dissociation of water across the O-Al bridge sites resulted in partially hydroxylated surfaces, and the dissociation is energetically favorable on both surfaces. Water dissociation on the (110) surface has a barrier of 0.42 eV, but the same process on the (100) surface has no barrier with respect to the isolated water molecule. On the partially hydroxylated gamma-Al2O3 surfaces, a bicarbonate species was formed by protonating the carbonate species with the protons from neighboring hydroxyl groups. The energy difference between the bicarbonate species and the coadsorbed bidentate carbonate species and hydroxyls is only 0.04 eV on the (110) surface, but the difference reaches 0.97 eV on the (100) surface. The activation barrier for forming the bicarbonate species on the (100) surface, 0.42 eV, is also lower than that on the (110) surface (0.53 eV).     

CO分子在TiC(001)表面上的吸附构型与电子结构

采用第一性原理方法和平板模型对CO分子在TiC(001)表面的吸附构型和电子结构进行了详细研究. 结果表明, CO分子倾向于采用C端吸附在表层Ti原子上方. 对于该吸附方式, 计算得到的吸附能、CO各电子态所处能级位置以及C—O键伸缩振动频率的红移值均与实验观测结果相吻合. 由能带结构和Mvlliken布居分析结果可知, 当采用C端吸附时, CO的5σ和2π鄢态受到底物影响最为显著, 尤其是C端的桥位吸附方式. 此外, 还进一步对底物表面态在CO吸附过程中的作用进行了探讨.     

X-ray emission spectroscopy of (2 square root of 3 x 2 square root of 3)R30 degrees CO/Ru(0001): comparison to c(2x2)CO/Ni(100) and c(2x2)CO/Cu(100)

The atom specific electronic structure of (2 square root of 3 x 2 square root of 3)R30 degrees CO on hcp Ru(0001) has been determined with resonantly excited x-ray emission spectroscopy. We find that the general features of the local adsorbate electronic structure are similar to the situation of CO adsorbed on the fcc metals Ni(100) and Cu(100). The interpretation of the surface chemical bond of (2 square root of 3 x 2 square root of 3)R30 degrees CO/Ru(0001) based on the direct application of the local, allylic model from on-top adsorption on the fcc(100) surfaces Ni(100) and Cu(100) explains many aspects of the surface chemical bond. However, also nonlocal contributions like adsorbate-adsorbate interaction and the deviation from upright on-top adsorption on the Ru(0001) surface influence observables like the heat of adsorption and the Me-CO bond strength.
