CO在Pt低指数面上吸附行为的理论研究

用密度泛函理论(DFT)中的广义梯度近似(GGA)方法对CO-Pt低指数面吸附体系进行了结构优化, 并对吸附体系的吸附热、C—O键和C—Pt键的键长、布居数分析、电子态密度进行了研究. 计算结果表明, 在0.25 ML(monolayer)的覆盖率下, CO最容易在Pt(100)晶面的桥位、Pt(110)晶面的短桥位、Pt(111)晶面的hcp三重位吸附, 吸附热分别达到了2.11、2.37、1.96 eV; CO在吸附成键过程中伴有电子在CO分子和Pt之间的转移. 吸附后, C—O键被削弱, 键长变长, 金属内部的作用亦被削弱, 其表层Pt 原子的布居数明显降低; 态密度分析表明, CO在吸附过程中, 其4σ、1π、5σ、2π轨道均参与成键.     

CO2在金属表面活化的能学方法研究

应用UBI-QEP方法, 估算了CO2-在金属表面的吸附热, 并计算了CO2在Cu(111)、Pd(111)、Fe(111)、Ni(111)表面的各种反应途径的活化能垒. 结果表明, CO2-在4种过渡金属表面相对的稳定性和CO2解离吸附的活性顺序一致,均为Fe>Ni>Cu>Pd. 说明CO2-可能是CO2解离吸附的关键中间体. 在Cu、Pd、Ni表面上, CO2解离吸附的最终产物是CO,而在Fe表面其最终会解离成C和O. 在Cu、Fe、Ni表面, CO2加氢活化是一种有效模式, 而在Pd上则不容易进行. 在Cu和Pd表面,碳酸盐物种也可能是CO2活化的重要中间体.     

CO2在金属表面活化的UBI-QEP方法研究

应用UBI-QEP方法估算了金属表面上形成的活化吸附态CO₂^-在Cu(111),Pd(111),Fe(111)和Ni(111)表面上的吸附热,计算了各种相关反应的活化能垒.结果表明,CO₂^-在4种过渡金属表面的相对稳定性的顺序为Fe>Ni>Cu>Pd;在Fe和Ni表面上CO₂^-较易生成,且容易进一步发生解离反应,在Fe表面会解离成C和O吸附原子,而在Ni表面上解离的最终产物为CO和O;在Cu表面上,CO₂^-虽较难形成,但其加氢反应的活化能比解离反应低,因此加氢反应是其进一步活化的有效模式;在Pd表面上,CO₂^-吸附态在能量上很不稳定,所以CO₂在Pd表面上不容易活化.

Comparative study of water dissociation on Rh(111) and Ni(111) studied with first principles calculations

The dissociation and formation of water on the Rh(111) and Ni(111) surfaces have been studied using density functional theory with generalized gradient approximation and ultrasoft pseudopotentials. Calculations have been performed on 2x2 surface unit cells, corresponding to coverages of 0.25 ML, with spot checks on 3x3 surface unit cells (0.11 ML). On both surfaces, the authors find that water adsorbs flat on top of a surface atom, with binding energies of 0.35 and 0.25 eV, respectively, on Rh(111) and Ni(111), and is free to rotate in the surface plane. Barriers of 0.92 and 0.89 eV have to be overcome to dissociate the molecule into OH and H on the Rh(111) and Ni(111) surfaces, respectively. Further barriers of 1.03 and 0.97 eV need to be overcome to dissociate OH into O and H. The barriers for the formation of the OH molecule from isolated adsorbed O and H are found to be 1.1 and 1.3 eV, and the barriers for the formation of the water molecule from isolated adsorbed OH and H are 0.82 and 1.05 eV on the two surfaces. These barriers are found to vary very little as coverage is changed from 0.25 to 0.11 ML. The authors have also studied the dissociation of OH in the presence of coadsorbed H or O. The presence of a coadsorbed H atom only weakly affects the energy barriers, but the effect of O is significant, changing the dissociation barrier from 1.03 to 1.37 and 1.15 eV at 0.25 or 0.11 ML coverage on the Rh(111) surface. Finally, the authors have studied the dissociation of water in the presence of one O atom on Rh(111), at 0.11 ML coverage, and the authors find a barrier of 0.56 eV to dissociate the molecule into OH+OH.     

Vibrational lifetimes of molecular adsorbates on metal surfaces

We report density functional theory calculations of electron-hole pair induced vibrational lifetimes of diatomic molecules adsorbed on metal surfaces. For CO on Cu(100), Ni(100), Ni(111), Pt(100), and Pt(111), we find that the C-O internal stretch and the bending modes have lifetimes in the 1-6 ps range, and that the CO-surface stretch and the frustrated translational modes relax more slowly, with lifetimes >10 ps for all cases except CO on Ni(111). This strong mode selectivity confirms earlier calculations for CO on Cu(100) and demonstrates that the trends carry over to other metal substrates. In contrast, for NO adsorbed on Pt(111), whereas we still find that the bending mode has the shortest lifetime, about 1.3 ps, we predict the other three modes to have almost equal lifetimes of 8-10 ps. Similarly, for CN adsorbed on Pt(111), we calculate that the internal stretching and molecule-surface stretching modes have approximately equal lifetimes of about 15 ps. Our results are in reasonable agreement with experiment, where available. We discuss some of the underlying factors that may contribute to the observed mode selectivity with adsorbed CO and the altered selectivity with NO and CN.     

Energetics of C–C Bond Scission in Ethane Hydrogenolysis: A Theoretical Study of Possible Intermediates and Reaction Pathways

C–C bond scission steps, which are often considered as rate-determining in ethane hydrogenolysis, are studied by the Unity Bond Index–Quadratic Exponential UBI–QEP method. The binding energies of atomic carbon with Group VIII and IB metal surfaces Ni(111), Pd(111), Pt(111), Rh(111), Ru(001), Ir(111), Fe(110), Cu(111), and Au(111) are estimated using experimental data on the adsorption of various species on these surfaces. These estimates are corrected using data from density functional theory (DFT) on the adsorption heats of the CH _x species. Metal surfaces are arranged in the following series according to the binding strength of a carbon atom: Cu(111) < Au(111) < Pd(111) < Ru(001) Pt(111) < Ni(111) Rh(111) < Ir(111) < Fe(110). The values of chemisorption heats range from 121 kcal/mol for Au(111) to 193 kcal/mol for Fe(110). The activity of these surfaces toward C–C bond scission increases in the same series. The results of this work suggest that the most probable C–C bond scission precursors are ethyl, ethylidyne, adsorbed acetylene, CH₂CH, CH₂C, and CHC. Theoretical data obtained by different methods are compared and found to agree well with each other. An overview of experimental data on ethane hydrogenolysis mechanisms is given.     

First-principles study of C adsorption, O adsorption, and CO dissociation on flat and stepped Ni surfaces

The adsorption of atomic oxygen and carbon was studied with plane wave density functional theory on four Ni surfaces, Ni(110), Ni(111), Ni(210), and Ni(531). Various adsorption sites on these surfaces are examined in order to identify the most favorable adsorption site for each atomic species. The dependence of surface bonding on adsorbate coverage is also investigated. Adsorption energies and structural information are obtained and compared with existing experimental results for Ni(110) and Ni(111). In addition, activation barriers to CO dissociation have been determined on Ni(111) and Ni(531) by locating the transition states for these processes. Our results indicate that the binding energies of C are comparatively stronger on stepped surfaces than on flat surfaces, and the energy barriers associated with CO dissociation strongly favor reactions occurring near surface steps.     

Density functional theory study of CHx (x=1-3) adsorption on clean and CO precovered Rh(111) surfaces

CH(x) (x=1-3) adsorptions on clean and CO precovered Rh(111) surfaces were studied by density functional theory calculations. It is found that CH(x) (x=1-3) radicals prefer threefold hollow sites on Rh(111) surfaces, and the bond strength between CH(x) and Rh(111) follows the order of CH(3)相似文献   

Electrochemical behaviour of oxocarbons on single crystal platinum electrodes: Part V. Tetrahydroxy-p-benzoquinone in 0.5 M sulphuric acid medium

The electrochemical behaviour of tetrahydroxy-p-benzoquinone (THQ) on Pt(111), Pt(100) and Pt(110) surfaces has been studied in sulphuric acid solutions by cyclic voltammetry. The experimental results show that THQ is the oxocarbon having a lesser tendency to form CO-like species after adsorption on platinum surfaces. THQ is directly adsorbed on Pt(111) and Pt(100), although it is not stable and undergoes a slow reaction to CO adspecies on Pt(100) surfaces. Clear evidence of CO adspecies has been found only on Pt(100) electrodes.     

Experimental and theoretical study of the interaction of CO2 with alpha-Al2O3

Density functional molecular cluster calculations are combined with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), quadrupolar mass spectrometry (QMS), and diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform (DRIFT) spectroscopy to investigate the interaction of CO2 with alpha-Al2O3 and partially reduced alpha-Al2O3. The electronic structure of the stoichiometric and partially reduced substrate, adsorbate geometries, chemisorption enthalpies, and adsorbate vibrational parameters are computed and discussed. Theoretical results agree quite well with experimental data and previous theoretical investigations. As far as the adsorbate-substrate interaction is concerned, the results of our calculations indicate that CO2 forms bidentate-chelating carbonate species. The bonding scheme of this surface complex implies a significant substrate-->adsorbate transfer of charge (from the occupied dangling bond of a surface Lewis base site into one component of the CO2 2 pi u LUMO) assisted by a definitely weaker adsorbate-->substrate donation (from one component of the CO2 1 pi g HOMO into an empty dangling bond of a surface Lewis acid site). Our estimate of the chemisorption enthalpy (-15 kcal/mol) agrees quantitatively with calorimetric data reported for CO2 adsorbed on high surface area alpha-alumina (-16.0 kcal/mol). [Mao, C.-F.; Vannice, M. A. Appl. Catal. A 1994, 111, 151.] According to XPS and QMS outcomes, theoretical results predict that the interaction of CO2 with partially reduced alpha-Al2O3 gives rise to the reduction of the adsorbate to CO and to the concomitant substrate reoxidation.     

Kinetics of CO oxidation on high-concentration phases of atomic oxygen on Pt(111)

Temperature-programmed reaction spectroscopy (TPRS) and direct, isothermal reaction-rate measurements were employed to investigate the oxidation of CO on Pt(111) covered with high concentrations of atomic oxygen. The TPRS results show that oxygen atoms chemisorbed on Pt(111) at coverages just above 0.25 ML (monolayers) are reactive toward coadsorbed CO, producing CO(2) at about 295 K. The uptake of CO on Pt(111) is found to decrease with increasing oxygen coverage beyond 0.25 ML and becomes immeasurable at a surface temperature of 100 K when Pt(111) is partially covered with Pt oxide domains at oxygen coverages above 1.5 ML. The rate of CO oxidation measured as a function of CO beam exposure to the surface exhibits a nearly linear increase toward a maximum for initial oxygen coverages between 0.25 and 0.50 ML and constant surface temperatures between 300 and 500 K. At a fixed CO incident flux, the time required to reach the maximum reaction rate increases as the initial oxygen coverage is increased to 0.50 ML. A time lag prior to the reaction-rate maximum is also observed when Pt oxide domains are present on the surface, but the reaction rate increases more slowly with CO exposure and much longer time lags are observed, indicating that the oxide phase is less reactive toward CO than are chemisorbed oxygen atoms on Pt(111). On the partially oxidized surface, the CO exposure needed to reach the rate maximum increases significantly with increases in both the initial oxygen coverage and the surface temperature. A kinetic model is developed that reproduces the qualitative dependence of the CO oxidation rate on the atomic oxygen coverage and the surface temperature. The model assumes that CO chemisorption and reaction occur only on regions of the surface covered by chemisorbed oxygen atoms and describes the CO chemisorption probability as a decreasing function of the atomic oxygen coverage in the chemisorbed phase. The model also takes into account the migration of oxygen atoms from oxide domains to domains with chemisorbed oxygen atoms. According to the model, the reaction rate initially increases with the CO exposure because the rate of CO chemisorption is enhanced as the coverage of chemisorbed oxygen atoms decreases during reaction. Longer rate delays are predicted for the partially oxidized surface because oxygen migration from the oxide phase maintains high oxygen coverages in the coexisting chemisorbed oxygen phase that hinder CO chemisorption. It is shown that the time evolution of the CO oxidation rate is determined by the relative rates of CO chemisorption and oxygen migration, R(ad) and R(m), respectively, with an increase in the relative rate of oxygen migration acting to inhibit the reaction. We find that the time lag in the reaction rate increases nearly exponentially with the initial oxygen coverage [O](i) (tot) when [O](i) (tot) exceeds a critical value, which is defined as the coverage above which R(ad)R(m) is less than unity at fixed CO incident flux and surface temperature. These results demonstrate that the kinetics for CO oxidation on oxidized Pt(111) is governed by the sensitivity of CO binding and chemisorption on the atomic oxygen coverage and the distribution of surface oxygen phases.

Structure Sensitivity in the Decomposition of Ethylene Carbonate on Si Anodes

The interaction of ethylene carbonate (EC) with Si surfaces is studied by density functional theory. The results show a strong structure sensitivity in the adsorption of EC on Si surfaces. While the adsorbed EC molecule readily decomposes on the Li/Si(111) surface, it does not dissociate on the Li/Si(100) and Li/Si(110) surfaces. On Si(111), the O atom at the top of EC is detached from the EC molecule and binds to the Li adatom, forming Li?O molecules. The mechanism of EC decomposition is the transfer of 2.4 electrons from the surface to the EC molecule, as well as the formation of a covalent bond between the Li adatom and the EC molecule. This result shows that in lithium‐ion batteries with Si anodes, dissociation of the solvent and formation of a solid electrolyte interphase layer start as soon as the Li atoms cover the anode surface.     

The surface dependence of CO adsorption on Ceria

An understanding of the interaction between ceria and environmentally sensitive molecules is vital for developing its role in catalysis. We present the structure and energetics of CO adsorbed onto stoichiometric (111), (110), and (100) surfaces of ceria from first principles density functional theory corrected for on-site Coulomb interactions, DFT+U. DFT+U is applied because it can describe consistently the properties of both the stoichiometric and reduced surfaces. Our major finding is that the interaction is strongly surface dependent, consistent with experiment. Upon interaction of CO with the (111) surface, weak binding is found, with little perturbation to the surface or the molecule. For the (110) and (100) surfaces, the most stable adsorbate is that in which the CO molecule bridges two oxygen atoms and pulls these atoms out of their lattice sites, with formation of a (CO(3)) species. This results in a strong modification to the surface structure, consistent with that resulting from mild reduction. The electronic structure also demonstrates reduction of the ceria surface and consequent localization of charge on cerium atoms neighboring the vacancy sites. The surface-bound (CO(3)) species is identified as a carbonate, (CO(3))(2-) group, which is formed along with two reduced surface Ce(III) ions, in good agreement with experimental infrared data. These results provide a detailed investigation of the interactions involved in the adsorption of CO on ceria surfaces, allowing a rationalization of experimental findings and demonstrate further the applicability of the DFT+U approach to the study of systems in which reduced ceria surfaces play a role.

Site-dependent electron-stimulated reactions in water films on TiO2(110)

Electron-stimulated reactions in thin [<3 ML (monolayer)] water films adsorbed on TiO(2)(110) are investigated. Irradiation with 100 eV electrons results in electron-stimulated dissociation and electron-stimulated desorption (ESD) of adsorbed water molecules. The molecular water ESD yield increases linearly with water coverage theta for 0< or =theta< or =1 ML and 11 ML, the water ESD yield per additional water molecule adsorbed (i.e., the slope of the ESD yield versus coverage) is 3.5 times larger than for theta<1 ML. In contrast, the number of water molecules dissociated per incident electron increases linearly for theta< or =2 ML without changing slope at theta=1 ML. The total electron-stimulated sputtering rate, as measured by postirradiation temperature programmed desorption of the remaining water, is larger for theta>1 ML due to the increased water ESD for those coverages. The water ESD yields versus electron energy (for 5-50 eV) are qualitatively similar for 1, 2, and 40 ML water films. In each case, the observed ESD threshold is at approximately 10 eV and the yield increases monotonically with increasing electron energy. The results indicate that excitations in the adsorbed water layer are primarily responsible for the ESD in thin water films on TiO(2)(110). Experiments on "isotopically layered" films with D(2)O adsorbed on the Ti(4+) sites (D(2)O(Ti)) and H(2)O adsorbed on the bridging oxygen atoms (H(2)O(BBO)) demonstrate that increasing the water coverage above 1 ML rapidly suppresses the electron-stimulated desorption of D(2)O(Ti) and D atoms, despite the fact that the total water ESD and atomic hydrogen ESD yields increase with increasing coverage. The coverage dependence of the electron-stimulated reactions is probably related to the different bonding geometries for H(2)O(Ti) and H(2)O(BBO) and its influence on the desorption probability of the reaction products.     

Ab initio thermodynamics examination of sulfur species present on Rh, Ni, and binary Rh-Ni surfaces under steam reforming reaction conditions

The stable form of adsorbed sulfur species and their coverage were investigated on Rh, Ni, and Rh-Ni binary metal surfaces using density functional theory calculations and the ab initio thermodynamics framework. S adsorption, SO(x) (x = 1-4) adsorption, and metal sulfide formation were examined on Rh(111) and Ni(111) pure metals. Both Rh and Ni metals showed a preference for S surface adsorption rather than SO(x) adsorption under steam reforming conditions. The transition temperature from a clean surface (<(1)/(9) ML) to S adsorption was identified on Rh(111), Ni(111), Rh(1)Ni(2)(111), and Rh(2)Ni(1)(111) metals at various P(H(2))/P(H(2)S) ratios. Bimetallic Rh-Ni metals transition to a clean surface at lower temperatures than does the pure Rh metal. Whereas Rh is covered with (1)/(3) ML of sulfur under the reforming conditions of 4-100 ppm S and 800 °C, Rh(1)Ni(2) is covered with (1)/(9) ML of sulfur at the lower end of this range (4-33 ppm S). The possibility of sulfate formation on Rh catalysts was examined by considering higher oxygen pressures, a Rh(221) stepped surface, and the interface between a Rh(4) cluster and CeO(2)(111) surface. SO(x) surface species are stable only at high oxygen pressure or low temperatures outside those relevant to the steam reforming of hydrocarbons.
