本文运用UPS、超高真空程序升温反应谱(TPRS)研究了氧和甲醇在银钯合金上的吸附和反应。实验结果表明, 合金表面存在两种分别与Ag和Pd原子有关的活性位; 少量钯原子的存在, 一方面提供了甲醇分解反应的活性中心, 另一方面通过与银之间的电子相互作用, 削弱了氧与银的结合, 增强了表面吸附氧的反应活性, 从而改变了甲醇氧化反应的选择性。     

浸渍顺序对Ag-Pd/Ce0.8Zr0.2O2催化剂活性及脱附性能的影响

 采用不同的浸渍顺序制备了Ag-Pd/Ce0.8Zr0.2O2双组分催化剂,考察了催化剂对乙醇和CO氧化反应的催化活性,并对催化剂进行了TPD表征. 结果表明,浸渍顺序对催化剂的活性有很大的影响. 共浸渍催化剂的活性最高,其次为先浸渍钯后浸渍银的催化剂,先浸渍银后浸渍钯催化剂的活性最低. 催化剂上CO氧化活性与CO-TPD过程中CO2脱附峰的温度及强度有对应关系. 同时,乙醇氧化活性与C2H5OH-TPD过程中CO2脱附峰的温度有一定的对应关系. 这表明共浸渍催化剂的表面氧物种最活泼,最容易与吸附在催化剂表面的乙醇或CO发生氧化反应. 不同的浸渍顺序影响Ag或Pd的存在状态,共浸渍时有利于氧化态的形成; 但Ag状态的变化与催化剂上乙醇或CO氧化反应的活性没有对应关系.

XPS与UPS测量几种材料功函数的比较

为比较X射线光电子能谱(XPS)与紫外光电子能谱(UPS)测量材料功函数结果间的差异,依次对经氩离子清洁表面吸附层的Au、Ag薄膜样品和单晶硅片,以及未进行表面清洁的Au、Ag、MoO_3薄膜样品,单晶硅片及ITO导电玻璃的功函数进行测量。给出了XPS和UPS测量功函数的计算方法,并探讨了影响材料功函数测量结果不确定性的因素。研究发现XPS及UPS在测量表面清洁的金属样品时,测量结果基本一致,具有较高的准确度,表面清洁的Au、Ag样品一经暴露空气后其表面覆盖一层吸附层,功函数很快发生变化。利用UPS或XPS测量金属和半导体的功函数时应避免暴露空气,若金属样品在空气中暴露时建议使用氩离子清洁表面。研究结果对科研人员按实际测试需求合理选择测量方法具有一定的指导意义。     

氧在银表面吸附的EHMO研究

本文应用EHMO法计算了氧原子、氧分子和若干代表Ag(111)表面上不同位置的银原子簇间的位能曲线或位能面。结果表明:在150～250℃间,Ag(111)表面化学吸附氧时,最可能的吸附位置是叠位,被吸附物的价态为O~-。这种单原子氧是氧分子在叠位发生解离吸附所形成。在Ag(111)表面上,不形成双原子氧吸附,它可能只发生在单个Ag原子(或某些高度分散的载体银或特殊的晶体银,其特性类似单个Ag原子)上,被吸附时的价态为O_2~-。

Ni(110)上氯和氧共吸附表面的结构和性质

用XPS,UPS,AES和功函数测定等方法考察了氯和氧在Ni(110)上的共吸附。氯强烈阻碍了氧的接续吸附;相反,氯接续吸附的速度和吸附量却因氯能驱使预吸附的氧溶入体相而没有明显影响。角分辨XPS分析为这一共吸附模型提供了进一步的证据。共吸附表面上氯和氧的热脱附和两者单独在Ni(110)表面上热脱附过程相似,但两者的脱附温度都有明显的降低。对共吸附和热脱附的机理进行了详细的讨论。     

Cl/Ag(111)体系研究Ⅰ.Cl吸附行为及其存在状态

pH sensitive swelling and releasing behavior of nano-gels based on polyaspartamide graft copolymers

Dendritic and porous Ag-Pd alloy nanostructures were successfully fabricated on the surface of silicon substrate using the co-reduction method and galvanic replacement reaction, respectively. The molar compositions of Ag and Pd in the alloy could be modulated by controlling the molar ratios of metal precursors and reaction time. The Ag-Pd alloy nanostructures were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The morphology and phase of Au-Pd alloy nanostructures were discussed as a function of molar ratios of metal precursors and reaction time. In addition, the morphology and composition-dependent surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) of the as-synthesized Ag-Pd alloy nanostructures were investigated. The SERS enhancement factor was estimated and SERS mapping was performed to prove the homogeneity of these substrates. The results indicate that as-synthesized dendritic and porous Ag-Pd alloy nanostructures are good candidates for SERS spectroscopy.     

Density Functional Theory Study on the Adsorption of CN on Transition Metal M（100） （M = Ni,Pd, Pt,Cu, Ag and Au） Surfaces

The adsorption of cyanide on the top site of a series of transition metal M（100） （M = Cu, Ag, Au, Ni, Pd, Pt） surfaces via carbon and nitrogen atoms respectively, with the CN axis perpendicular to the surface, has been studied by means of density functional theory and cluster model. Geometry, adsorption energy and vibrational frequencies have been determined, and the present calculations show that the adsorption of CN through C-end on metal surface is more favorable than that via N-end for the same surface. The vibrational frequencies of CN for C-down configuration on surface are blue-shifted with respect to the free CN, which is contrary to the change of vibrational frequencies when CN is adsorbed by N-down structure. Furthermore, the charge transfer from surface to CN causes the increase of surface work function.     

Charge transfers at metal/oxide interfaces: a DFT study of formation of K delta+ and Au delta- species on MgO/Ag(100) ultra-thin films from deposition of neutral atoms

Ultra-thin oxide films grown on a metal substrate and of thickness smaller than 1 nm may exhibit unusual properties with respect to thicker films or single crystal oxide surfaces. In a previous study [G. Pacchioni, L. Giordano and M. Baistrocchi, Phys. Rev. Lett., 2005, 94, 226104] we have suggested that a Au atom adsorbed on a MgO/Mo(100) thin film becomes negatively charged by direct electron tunneling from the Mo metal and that this is related to the low MgO/Mo(100) work function. Here we show, based on periodic DFT supercell calculations, that charge transfer can occur also in the opposite direction by adsorption of electropositive K atoms on MgO/Ag(100) films. We predict the occurrence of a charge transfer also for Au on MgO/Ag(100) films despite the fact that here the work function is 1 eV larger than in MgO/Mo(100). The formation of a layer of adsorbed negative (Au delta-/MgO/Ag) or positive (K delta+/MgO/Ag) adsorbates results in an increase or decrease, respectively, of the MgO/Ag(100) work function as predicted by the classical Gurney model for ionic adsorbates on metal surfaces.     

Cl/Ag(111)体系研究——Ⅲ.Cl吸附对O_2吸附的影响

考察了Ag(111)表面和吸氯的Ag(111)表面上氧的吸附行为.结果表明在Ag(111)及低暴露量氯吸附的Ag(111)上氧吸附时,表面上均存在弱的分子氧和原子氧物种.但在高暴露量氯吸附的Ag(111)表面上氧吸附时则选择性地只产生表面分子氧物种,这种选择性只与氯的吸附程度有关,而与氯的存在与否无关.结合以前的实验结果,对氯吸附至(c)阶段时的Ag(111)表面上氧的选择性吸附行为的本质作了详细讨论.     

DFT Study of Metal Atoms Adsorbed at Low-coordinated Sites of MgO （001） Surface

1 INTRODUCTION The interfaces between metals and oxide play a vital role in many industrial applications: hetero- geneous catalysis, microelectronics, thermal barriers, corrosion protection, metal processing and so on[1]. In catalysis, the choice of metal and oxide support is critical in order to obtain a desired reactivity and selectivity[2]. This is due in part to the inherent reac- tivity of the two components. Also the size and shape of the metal particle, which depend on the choice…     

Tuning the work function of ultrathin oxide films on metals by adsorption of alkali atoms

We report a theoretical investigation of the adsorption of alkali metal atoms deposited on ultrathin oxide films. The properties of Li, Na, and K atoms adsorbed on SiO(2)/Mo(112) and of K on MgO / Ag(100) and TiO(2)/Pt(111) have been analyzed with particular attention to the induced changes in the work function of the system, Phi. On the nonreducible SiO(2) and MgO oxide films there is a net transfer of the outer ns electron of the alkali atom to the metal substrate conduction band; the resulting surface dipole substantially lowers Phi. The change in Phi depends (a) on the adsorption site (above the oxide film or at the interface) and (b) on the alkali metal coverage. Deposition of K on reducible TiO(2) oxide films results in adsorbed K(+) ions and in the formation of Ti(3+) ions. No charge transfer to the metal substrate is observed but also in this case the surface dipole resulting from the K-TiO(2) charge transfer has the effect to considerably reduce the work function of the system.     

Ag on Pt(111): Changes in Electronic and CO Adsorption Properties upon PtAg/Pt(111) Monolayer Surface Alloy Formation

The electronic and chemical (adsorption) properties of bimetallic Ag/Pt(111) surfaces and their modification upon surface alloy formation, that is, during intermixing of Ag and Pt atoms in the top atomic layer upon annealing, were studied by X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and, using CO as probe molecule, by temperature‐programmed desorption (TPD) and infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy (IRRAS), respectively. The surface alloys are prepared by deposition of sub‐monolayer Ag amounts on a Pt(111) surface at room temperature, leading to extended Ag monolayer islands on the substrate, and subsequent annealing of these surfaces. Surface alloy formation starts at ≈600–650 K, which is evidenced by core‐level shifts (CLSs) of the Ag(3d_5/2) signal. A distinct change of the CO adsorption properties is observed when going to the intermixed PtAg surface alloys. Most prominently, we find the growth of a new desorption feature at higher temperature (≈550 K) in the TPD spectra upon surface alloy formation. This goes along with a shift of the CO_ad‐related IR bands to lower wave number. Surface alloy formation is almost completed after heating to 700 K.     

Identification of defect sites on oxide surfaces by metastable impact electron spectroscopy

In this review, thin films of SiO₂ on Mo(1 1 2) and MgO(1 0 0) on Mo(1 0 0) have been characterized using metastable impact electron and ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopies (metastable impact electron spectroscopy (MIES) and ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy). The electronic and chemical properties of the thin films are identical to those of the corresponding bulk oxides. For different prepared defective SiO₂ surfaces, additional features are observed in the band-gap region. These features arise from vacancies or excess oxygen and are consistent with theoretical predictions of additional occupied states in the band-gap due to point defects. Extended defect sites on SiO₂ and MgO are identified using MIES by a narrowing of the O(2p) features with a reduction in the density of extended defect sites. MIES of adsorbed Xe (MAX) is also used to estimate the density of extended defect sites. Furthermore, it is shown that CO is an appropriate probe molecule for estimating the defect density of MgO surfaces. Upon Ag exposure, the change in the work function of a low defect MgO(1 0 0) versus a high defect surface is markedly different. For a sputter-damaged MgO(1 0 0) surface, an initial decrease of the work function was found, implying that small Ag clusters on this surface are electron deficient. In contrast, for SiO₂ no significant change of the work function upon Ag exposure with increasing defect density was observed. On MgO(1 0 0), the presence of defect sites markedly alter the electronic and chemical properties of supported Ag clusters. Such a strong influence of defect sites was not found for Ag clusters on SiO₂.     

Density functional embedded cluster study of Cu(4), Ag(4) and Au(4) species interacting with oxygen vacancies on the MgO(001) surface

Cu(4), Ag(4), and Au(4) species adsorbed on an MgO(001) surface that exhibits neutral (F(s)) and charged (F(s) (+)) oxygen vacancies have been studied using a density functional approach and advanced embedding models. The gas-phase rhombic-planar structure of the coinage metal tetramers is only moderately affected by adsorption. In the most stable surface configuration, the plane of the tetramers is oriented perpendicular to the MgO(001) surface; one metal atom is attached to an oxygen vacancy and another one is bound to a nearby surface oxygen anion. A very similar structural motif was recently found on defect-free MgO(001), where two O(2-) ions serve as adsorption sites. Following the trend of the interactions with the regular MgO(001) surface, Au(4) and Cu(4) bind substantially stronger to F(s) and F(s) (+) sites than Ag(4). This stronger adsorption interaction at oxygen vacancies, in particular at F(s), is partly due to a notable accumulation of electron density on the adsorbates. We also examined the propensity of small supported metal species to aggregate to adsorbed di-, tri- and tetramers. Furthermore, we demonstrated that core-level ionization potentials offer the possibility for detecting experimentally supported metal tetramers and characterizing them structurally with the help of calculated data.
