使用半经验PM3方法, 对(5, 5)椅型单壁碳纳米管的H和F吸附做一系列计算, 模型采用含120C, 130C, 140C的两端开口的(5, 5)管, 吸附原子从2到30个。计算结果表明F与H有类似的吸附规律, 但是, 在各种吸附构型的稳定性上, F吸附比H吸附的差别较为显著。H, F的吸附排列在50 %覆盖度下更倾向于沿管轴的锯齿状连续排列, 而非垂直于管轴的环状排列, 这些吸附排列结构与各纳米管骨架模型前线轨道拓扑图存在对应关系。

氢原子在Be(0001)表面吸附的密度泛函理论研究

采用第一性原理的密度泛函理论研究单个氢原子和多个氢原子在Be(0001)表面吸附性质.给出了氢吸附Be(0001)薄膜表面的原子结构、吸附能、饱和度、功函数、偶极修正等特性参数.同时也讨论了相关吸附性质与氢原子覆盖度(0.06-1.33ML)的关系.计算结果表明:氢原子的吸附位置与覆盖度之间有强烈的依赖关系,覆盖度低于0.67ML时,氢原子能量上易于占据fcc或hcp的中空位置;覆盖度为0.78ML时,中空位与桥位为氢原子的最佳吸附位;覆盖度在0.89到1.00ML时,桥位是氢原子吸附能量最有利的位置;以上覆盖度中Be(0001)表面最外层铍原子的结构均没有发生明显变化.当覆盖度为1.11-1.33ML,高覆盖度下Be(0001)表面的最外层铍原子部分发生膨胀,近邻氢原子渗入到铍表面次层,氢原子易于占据在hcp和桥位.吸附结构中的氢原子比氢分子中的原子稳定.当覆盖度大1.33ML时,计算结果没有发现相对于氢分子更稳定的吸氢结构.同时从分析偶极修正和氢原子吸附垂直高度随覆盖度的变化关系判断氢覆盖度为1.33ML时,在Be(0001)表面吸附达到饱和.

单壁碳纳米管上毒性苯气体净化的分子模拟(英文)

采用巨正则系综蒙特卡罗(GCMC)方法研究了空气中微量苯组分在单臂碳纳米管(SWNTs)上的吸附净化.模拟表明,具有较大孔径的(20,20)纳米管比较适合吸附纯苯蒸汽,而对于移除空气中的毒性苯物质,苯的吸附选择性分别在(12,12)纳米管及4.0 MPa时和(18,18)纳米管及0.1 MPa时出现最小值和最大值.为了解释这一异常行为,我们进一步分析了N2-O2-C6H6混合物的局部密度分布、吸附分子构型和概率密度分布,发现(18,18)纳米管内外完全被苯分子占据,而对于(12,12)纳米管,由于存在更强的吸附质-吸附剂相互作用,空气分子更倾向于吸附在管与管之间的间隙.此外,吸附分子的空间有序参数表明大多数苯分子采取"平躺"在纳米管表面的定位,而线性的N2和O2分子则多数平行于孔轴方向.最后研究了温度和苯分子主体相浓度对分离效果的影响.我们发现较大孔中的选择性随着温度的增加比小孔下降更加明显.与此对比,主体相苯浓度对小孔中的选择性起到更加重要的作用.     

阳极氧化膜WO3（Ⅰ）：电显色和自褪色

用循环伏安法、交流阻抗技术和光电流谱技术研究了阳极氧化膜WO_3电显色和自褪色过程的机理,电显色时,氢原子先在WO_3表面吸附,其后从WO_3表面向晶格内部传输,电褪色时,H_xWO_3晶格中填隙H原子先传输到W表面脱附生成填隙H~+,然后再在电场驱动下在膜中迁移,自褪色过程可能是由膜中所含的少量水和部分填隙H原子的羟基化作用引起的。

Ni(211), (533)的最优先吸附位都是四重位, 当氢原子的覆盖度增大时占据(111)平台的三重吸附位. 靠近台阶面的吸附位受台阶和平台高度的影响很大. 此外, 我们计算了氢原子在各表面的不同吸附位的扩散势垒, 获得氢原子在各表面的最低能量扩散通道.     

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.

Adsorption of hydrogen molecules on the platinum-doped boron nitride nanotubes

Adsorption of hydrogen molecules on platinum-doped single-walled zigzag (8,0) boron nitride (BN) nanotube is investigated using the density-functional theory. The Pt atom tends to occupy the axial bridge site of the BN tube with the highest binding energy of -0.91 eV. Upon Pt doping, several occupied and unoccupied impurity states are induced, which reduces the band gap of the pristine BN nanotube. Upon hydrogen adsorption on Pt-doped BN nanotube, the first hydrogen molecule can be chemically adsorbed on the Pt-doped BN nanotube without crossing any energy barrier, whereas the second hydrogen molecule has to overcome a small energy barrier of 0.019 eV. At least up to two hydrogen molecules can be chemically adsorbed on a single Pt atom supported by the BN nanotube, with the average adsorption energy of -0.365 eV. Upon hydrogen adsorption on a Pt-dimer-doped BN nanotube, the formation of the Pt dimer not only weakens the interaction between the Pt cluster and the BN nanotube but also reduces the average adsorption energy of hydrogen molecules. These calculation results can be useful in the assessment of metal-doped BN nanotubes as potential hydrogen storage media.     

Hydrogen adsorption on zigzag (8,0) boron nitride nanotubes

The chemical adsorption of H atoms on an (8,0) zigzag boron nitride nanotube is studied using the density functional theory with the supercell method. One to four H atoms per 32 B and 32 N are considered. The results show that H atoms prefer to adsorb on the top sites of adjacent B and N atoms to form an armchair chain along the tube axis. An even-odd oscillation behavior of the adsorption energy of H atoms on the tube is found, and the average adsorption energy of even H atoms is obviously bigger than that of odd H atoms. The results can be understood with the frontier orbital theory. Based on this adsorption behavior, several high-symmetric structures of H adsorbed boron nitride nanotubes with 50% and 100% coverages are studied. The pairs of lines' pattern with 50% coverage has the biggest average adsorption energy per H(2) among the chosen configurations, corresponding to approximately 4 wt % hydrogen storage.     

Oxygen gas-induced lip-lip interactions on a double-walled carbon nanotube edge

We have investigated adsorption of an O(2) molecule on a double-walled carbon nanotube (DWCNT) edge using density functional theory calculations. An O(2) molecule adsorbs exothermally without an adsorption barrier at open nanotube edges that are energetically favorable with a large adsorption energy of about -9 eV in most cases. Dissociative adsorption of an O(2) molecule induces various spontaneous lip-lip interactions via the bridged carbon atoms, generating the closed tube ends. This explains why the DWCNTs are chemically more stable than the single-walled nanotubes during observed field emission experiments. The field emission takes place via the localized states of the bridged carbon atoms, not via those of the adsorbed oxygen atoms particularly in the armchair nanotubes. We also find that some O(2) precursor states exist as a bridge between tube edges.

Hydrogen adsorption on carbon-doped boron nitride nanotube

The adsorption of atomic and molecular hydrogen on carbon-doped boron nitride nanotubes is investigated within the ab initio density functional theory. The binding energy of adsorbed hydrogen on carbon-doped boron nitride nanotube is substantially increased when compared with hydrogen on nondoped nanotube. These results are in agreement with experimental results for boron nitride nanotubes (BNNT) where dangling bonds are present. The atomic hydrogen makes a chemical covalent bond with carbon substitution, while a physisorption occurs for the molecular hydrogen. For the H(2) molecule adsorbed on the top of a carbon atom in a boron site (BNNT + C(B)-H(2)), a donor defect level is present, while for the H(2) molecule adsorbed on the top of a carbon atom in a nitrogen site (BNNT + C(N)-H(2)), an acceptor defect level is present. The binding energies of H(2) molecules absorbed on carbon-doped boron nitride nanotubes are in the optimal range to work as a hydrogen storage medium.     

DFT study on the adsorption and dissociation of hydrogen sulfide on MgO nanotube

The adsorption of a H₂S molecule on the surface of an MgO nanotube was investigated using density functional theory. It was found that H₂S molecule can be associatively adsorbed on the tube surface without any energy barrier or it can be dissociated into –H and –SH species overcoming energy barrier of 4.03–7.77 kcal/mol. The associative adsorption is site selective so that the molecule is oriented in such a way that the sulfur atom was linked to an Mg atom. The HOMO–LUMO energy gap of the tube has slightly changed upon associative adsorption, while they were significantly influenced by dissociation process. Especially, the highest occupied molecular orbital of the tube shifts to higher energies which can facilitate electron emission current from the tube surface. Also, energy gap of the tube dramatically decreased by about 0.93–1.05 eV which influences the electrical conductivity of the tube.
