利用密度泛函方法, 模拟金属铜原子簇Cu₁₄(9,4,1)的(100)表面, 对丙烯腈(CH₂＝CHCN)在Cu(100)面上不同吸附位的吸附状况进行了理论研究. 结果表明: 丙烯腈分子通过端位N原子垂直吸附在金属表面上为弱化学吸附, 部分电荷从丙烯腈分子转移至铜金属簇; 由N原子的孤对电子与金属铜形成弱σ共价键; 顶位是最佳吸附位, 吸附能为40.7391 kJ•mol^－1, N原子与金属表面间的平衡距离为0.2279 nm; 其次为桥位和穴位, 吸附能分别为36.2513和30.2158 kJ•mol^－1, 平衡距离为0.2194和0.2886 nm; 吸附后C≡N键的强度降低, 活化了丙烯腈分子. 化学吸附使体系的熵减小, 是由于丙烯腈分子的平动和转动因吸附而被限制.     

NO双分子和二聚体与Cu2作用的理论计算

采用密度泛函理论(DFT)中的B3LYP方法，在Lanl2DZ基组下，对NO双分子和二聚体与铜原子簇相互作用的结构进行了研究. 结果表明，NO可以在铜表面相邻的两个铜原子上形成稳定的双分子吸附和二聚体吸附，而在双分子吸附形式中NO以氮原子吸附在铜上的构型最稳定，且顶点吸附的稳定性不如非顶点吸附形式.在二聚体吸附形式中， N－N键被加强，而N－O键被削弱的程度大于双分子吸附形式，说明二聚体的形成有利于NO在金属铜表面的直接分解.同时电荷布居分析表明，单重态的二聚体与铜作用时，铜原子上的平均电荷达到0.66 e,说明在这种吸附形式中铜被离子化的倾向较大，而且这种吸附形式最有利于NO的分解.这些结果说明NO经二聚体形式在铜表面直接催化分解是可行的.     

Al修饰C_2N对甲醛降解的吸附增强机理及潜在催化活性的密度泛函理论研究（英文）

羰基化合物,特别是甲醛,是室内最常见的对人体有害的空气污染物之一.如何对甲醛进行有效的控制已成为当前研究热点.在本工作中,我们使用密度泛函理论化学计算方法研究了甲醛分子在C_2N和Al修饰C_2N上的吸附性能.结果表明,纯C_2N对甲醛分子的吸附能力较弱,吸附能仅为–0.583 eV,C_2N经Al原子修饰改性后,吸附能为–2.585 eV,超过了改性前的4倍,有效增强了体系对甲醛分子的吸附能力.为了研究甲醛分子在Al修饰C_2N上的吸附增强机理,我们对局部态密度(PDOS)、Mulliken电荷分布及电子密度分布进行了计算.结果表明,Al原子修饰改变了附近的电子分布,从而改变了修饰Al原子的化学和物理行为,使其起到了连接甲醛分子和C_2N层的桥梁作用,从而加强了吸附能力.此外,为了研究产生对甲醛活化有效的羟基自由基(·OH)和超氧(O_2~(·–))自由基的可能,我们还计算了C_2N结构对H_2O分子和O_2分子的吸附.结果表明,Al修饰的C_2N对H_2O分子和O_2分子同样有很强的吸附能力.对于H_2O分子,在纯C_2N结构中的吸附能为–0.743 eV,在Al原子修饰后的结构中,其吸附能高达–3.177 eV,并且此时H_2O分子能够自发解离成一个羟基和一个H原子,其中羟基与修饰的Al原子相连,这为羟基自由基的生成提供了良好的条件.而对于O_2分子,在纯C_2N结构中的吸附能仅为–0.206 eV,在Al原子修饰后其吸附能高达–2.767 eV,约为修饰前的13倍,这使得化学吸附的O_2分子也具有更高的获得额外电子和高电位被激活为超氧自由基的潜能,这也为超氧自由基的生成提供了良好基础.上述研究表明,Al修饰C_2N是一种有前途的材料,可用于甲醛分子的吸附及催化降解.

采用第一性原理方法,通过计算表面能确定Mg₃N₂（011）为最稳定的吸附表面,分别研究了H₂分子在Mg₃N₂（011）三种终止表面的吸附性质.研究发现H₂分子平行表面放置更有利于吸附,表面能最低的终止表面Model Ⅱ上吸附H₂分子最稳定,主要存在三种化学吸附方式：第一种吸附方式,H₂分子解离成2个H原子分别吸附在N原子上形成双NH基,这是最佳吸附方式;此时H₂分子与Mg₃N₂表面间主要是H原子的1s轨道和N原子的2s、2p轨道发生作用,N-H之间为典型的共价键.第二种吸附方式中H₂分子部分解离,两个H原子吸附在同一个N原子上形成NH₂基.第三种吸附方式中H₂分子解离成两个H原子,一个H原子和表面N原子作用形成NH基,另一个H原子和表面Mg原子作用形成MgH结构.三种吸附方式不存在竞争关系,形成双NH基的吸附方式反应能垒最低,最容易发生.除此之外H₂还能以分子的形式吸附在晶体表面,形成物理吸附.

运用广义梯度密度泛函理论(GGA)的RPBE方法结合周期平板模型,在DNP基组下,研究了NO以N端和O端两种吸附取向在CuCl(111)表面上的吸附.通过对不同吸附位和不同覆盖度下的吸附能和几何构型参数的计算和比较发现:NO吸附在CuCl(111)表面Cu原子上的top位时为稳定的吸附;覆盖度为0.25 mL时吸附比较稳定;NO的N端吸附比O端吸附更有利,N端吸附时为化学吸附,O端吸附时为物理吸附.布居分析结果表明整个吸附体系发生了从Cu原子向NO分子的电荷转移,且O端吸附时电荷转移更多.N端吸附和O端吸附时,N-O键的伸缩振动频率均红移,同时O端吸附时红移更多.

Vinyltrimethylsilane (VTMS) as a probe of chemical reactivity of a TiCN diffusion barrier-covered silicon surface

This paper presents the first molecular level investigation of chemical reactivity of a surface of an amorphous diffusion barrier film deposited on a Si(100)-2 x 1 single crystal. Vinyltrimethylsilane (VTMS) is chosen as a probe molecule because of its chemical properties and because of its role as a ligand in a common copper deposition precursor, hexafluoroacetylacetonato-copper-vinyltrimethylsilane, (hfac)Cu(VTMS). The surface chemistry of vinyltrimethylsilane on titanium carbonitride-covered Si(100)-2 x 1 has been investigated using multiple internal reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (MIR-FTIR), Auger electron spectroscopy (AES), thermal desorption mass spectrometry, and computational analysis. On a film with nominal surface stoichiometry TiC(x)N(y) (x approximately y approximately 1) preannealed to 800 K, VTMS adsorbs molecularly at cryogenic temperatures even at submonolayer coverages; the major pathway for its temperature-programmed evolution is desorption. Adsorption at room temperature leads to chemisorption via a double-bond attachment. A set of computational models was designed to investigate the possible adsorption sites for a VTMS molecule on a TiCN-covered Si(100)-2 x 1 surface. A comparison of the computational predictions for a variety of possible adsorption sites with the results of thermal desorption and infrared measurements suggests that approximately 90% of the adsorbed VTMS is chemisorbed along the Ti-C bond while approximately 10% is chemisorbed on a Ti corner atom, the minority site of the surface. The Ti-N bond is not participating in the chemisorption process.     

Methanol adsorption on the beta-Ga2O3 surface with oxygen vacancies: theoretical and experimental approach

Methanol adsorption on beta-Ga2O3 surface has been studied by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and by means of density functional theory (DFT) cluster model calculations. Adsorption sites of tetrahedral and octahedral gallium ions with different numbers of oxygen vacancies have been compared. The electronic properties of the adsorbed molecules have been monitored by computing adsorption energies, optimized geometry parameters, overlap populations, atomic charges, and vibrational frequencies. The gallia-methanol interaction has different behaviors according to the local surface chemical composition. The calculations show that methanol can react in three different ways with the gallia surface giving rise to a nondissociative adsorption, a dissociative adsorption, and an oxidative decomposition. The surface without oxygen vacancies is very reactive and produces the methanol molecule decomposition. The molecule is nondissociatively adsorbed by means of a hydrogen bond between the alcoholic hydrogen atom and a surface oxygen atom and a bond between the alcoholic oxygen atom and a surface gallium atom. Two neighbor oxygen vacancies on tetrahedral gallium sites produce the dissociation of the methanol molecule and the formation of a bridge bond between two surface gallium atoms and the methoxy group.     

Ab initio study on adsorption of hydrated Na+ and Cu+ cations on the Cu(111) surface

The interactions of Na+ and Cu+ cations with a Cu(111) surface in the presence and absence of water molecules were investigated using cluster models and ab initio methods. Adsorption in aqueous solution was modeled with one to five water molecules around the adsorbing cation. The Cu surface was described with Cu10 and Cu18 cluster models and the computational method was MP2/RECP/6-31+G. The effect of the basis set superposition error (BSSE) was taken into account with counterpoise (CP) correction, and the accuracy of HF-level results was examined. The interactions between Na+ and the Cu surface were found to be primarily electrostatic, and the energy differences among the different adsorption sites were small. The largest CP-corrected MP2 adsorption energy for the Cu18 cluster was -188 kJ/mol. When water molecules were added around it, Na+ receded from the Cu surface and finally was surrounded totally by the water molecules. The interactions between Cu+ and the Cu surface were dominated by orbital interactions, and Cu+ preferred to adsorb on sites where it could bind to more than one surface atom. The largest CP-corrected MP2 adsorption energy for the Cu18 cluster was -447 kJ/mol. Adding water molecules around it did not cause Cu+ to draw away from the surface, but instead the water molecules began to form hydrogen bonds with one another. The magnitude of BSSE was substantial in most cases. CP corrections did not, however, have a significant impact on the relative trends among the interaction energies.     

Chemisorption of OCN on Cu (100) surface: a density functional study

The chemisorption of cyanato radial (OCN) on Cu (100) surface is studied by using density functional theory (DFT) and the cluster model method. Cu₁₄ cluster is used to simulate the surface. Vertical bonding geometries with the nitrogen or oxygen atom down, and a parallel bonding geometry are considered, respectively. The present calculations show that cyanato-N species absorbed on the surface is more favorable than the other configurations. It indicates that OCN species is linearly bonded to the Cu (100) surface via the nitrogen atom, and is in good agreement with the experimental result. The cyanato-N species at the bridge site is most stable. For cyanato-N, the calculated symmetric and asymmetric OCN stretch frequencies are all blue-shifted compared with the calculated gaseous values, which is consistent with the experiment result. The charge transfer from the surface to OCN causes a work function increase on the surface. Bonding of OCN to the metal surface is largely ionic.     

Size and structure dependence of carbon monoxide chemisorption on cobalt clusters

We have carried out a series of ab initio calculations to investigate changes in the structural and magnetic properties of pristine cobalt clusters upon CO chemisorption. Our results show that binding energies of CO to 13-55 atom (0.5-1.5 nm) cobalt nanoparticles and preferred chemisorption sites depend on the cluster structure (whether fcc or icosahedral), size, and surface coverage. In addition, we find a strong influence of CO on the magnetism of the cluster, leading to magnetic moments smaller than in the bulk, at variance with pristine clusters which have magnetic moments larger than the bulk. Our findings suggest important changes in catalytic properties of cobalt at the nanoscale. Our theory suggests that at the nanoscale cluster size and surface coverage might control catalysis.     

Density Functional Theory Study on the Adsorption of HCNH and CNH2 on Cu（100） Surface

The HCNH and CNH2 adsorption on different coordination sites of Cu（100） was theoretically studied considering the cluster approach. The present calculations show that the bridge site is the most favorite for CNH2 perpendicularly adsorbed on the Cu（100） surface via the C atom. For HCNH absorbed on the Cu（100） surface, the parallel adsorption mode with the C and N atoms nearly directly above the adjacent top sites of Cu（100） surface is the most favored. Both CNH2 and HCNH are strongly bound to the Cu（100） surface with CNH2 which is lightly stable （2.51 kJ·mol^-1）, indicating that both species may be co-adsorbed on the Cu（100） surface.     

氢原子吸附的Cu(100)表面原子结构和电子态

用密度泛函理论的总能计算研究了金属铜(100)面的表面原子结构以及在不同覆盖度时氢原子的吸附状态. 研究结果表明, 在Cu(100)c(2×2)/H表面体系中, 氢原子吸附的位置是在空洞位置, 距最外层Cu原子层的距离为0.052 nm, 相应的Cu—H键长为0.189 nm, 并通过计算结构参数优化否定了其它的吸附位置模型. 总能计算得出Cu(100)c(2×2)/H表面的功函数为4.47 eV, 氢原子在这一体系的吸附能为2.37 eV(以孤立氢原子为能量参考点). 通过与衬底原子的杂化, 氢原子形成了具有二维特征的氢能带结构, 在费米能级以下约0.8 eV处出现的表面局域态是Cu(S)-H-Cu(S-1)型杂化的结果. 采用Cu(100)表面p(1×1)、p(2×2)和p(3×3)的三种氢吸附结构分别模拟1, 1/4, 1/9的原子单层覆盖度, 计算结果表明, 随着覆盖度的增加, 被吸附的氢原子之间的距离变短, 使得它们之间的静电排斥和静电能增大, 从而导致表面吸附能和吸附H原子与最外层Cu原子间垂直距离(ZH-Cu)逐渐减小. 在较低的覆盖度下, 氢原子对Cu(100)表面的影响主要表现为单个原子吸附作用的形式. 通过总能计算还排除了Cu(100)表面(根号2×2根号2)R45°-2H缺列再构吸附模型的可能性.
