第一性原理模拟氢气分子在氧化硅团簇上的吸附

基于密度泛函理论,采用广义梯度近似(GGA)分析了H2分子吸附在氧化硅团簇上的几何结构、电子性质以及吸附能.结果发现:H2分子与Si3O4团簇相互作用时,H2分子被分解,游离的H原子优先吸附在末端Si原子上,表明Si3O4团簇体系对氢气的存储主要依赖于末端存在悬挂键的Si原子,接着H2分子才以分子的形式以较小吸附能吸附在Si3O4H4团簇上.氢气分子主要引起与其邻近的原子电荷的重新分布.该团簇体系的红外、拉曼光谱图有效地鉴定了H2分子的吸附状态,为理论上确定团簇的稳定结构和实验上对观测结果的分析提供有力的途径.

乙二醛在Pd4团簇吸附、解离以及选择氧化

采用第一性原理密度泛函理论,我们研究了乙二醛在具有四面体结构的Pd4团簇上吸附、解离以及氧化反应历程.研究表明:乙二醛中C-H键是最容易断裂的,断裂后形成的HCOOC基团分别和O或OH反应形成乙醛酸,也就是说乙二醛经过脱氢,选择氧化形成产物乙醛酸.在整个反应过程中,所需要的能垒均小于11.53 Kcal/mol.我们的研究不仅有助于理解乙二醛氧化的反应机理,而且对于今后设计更好的乙二醛选择氧化催化剂有一定的帮助作用.     

正二十面体Au13和Pt13团簇上肉桂醛的吸附

运用广义梯度近似(GGA)密度泛函理论的Perdew-Burke-Ernzerh (PBE)方法, 研究了肉桂醛在正二十面体Au₁₃和Pt₁₃团簇上的吸附行为. 通过分析不同吸附模式的吸附能和几何构型发现: 同一金属团簇, 顺式肉桂醛的吸附能强于反式肉桂醛的吸附能. 对于Au₁₃团簇, 肉桂醛的稳定吸附构型为C＝C和C＝O共吸附模型; 对于Pt₁₃团簇, 肉桂醛的稳定吸附构型为C＝O吸附. 比较二者发现, 肉桂醛在Pt₁₃团簇的吸附能力强于Au₁₃团簇.分析Au₁₃和Pt₁₃团簇上肉桂醛最稳定吸附构型的电子结构表明, 电子由肉桂醛原子的2s、2p轨道向金属表面转移, 同时金属部分电子反馈到肉桂醛的反键轨道, 最终肉桂醛稳定吸附于金属团簇. 此外, 肉桂醛在团簇模型上的吸附能大于其在平板模型上的吸附能.

用Ｈｕｅｃｋｅｌ－Ｈｕｂｂａｒｄ理论及作者所建议的参数化方法，对碱金属团簇Ａｎ，Ａ＾＋ｎ，Ａ＾－ｎ的结构和碎化进行计算和分析，结果表明：ｎ≤５时团簇呈平面结构，几率大的碎化对应着中性单原子或中性二聚物的生成，团簇的稳定性随ｎ的变化呈出奇偶性，中性簇与离子簇的奇偶性上反，这些定性结果与实验及其它更精确算法的结果基本一致。     

非离子表面活性剂的吸附机理和表面胶团化对二氧化硅悬浮液稳定性的影响

测定了CAB-O-SIL在290.7K和304.2K时自水和1mol/LNaCl溶液中吸附非离子表面活性剂TritonX-100(TX100)的吸附等温线。结果表明,吸附量随温度升高而增加。NaCl的存在也使吸附量增加。运用生成表面胶团的吸附理论处理了实验结果,求得了表面胶团化的平衡常数、表面胶团的平均聚集数、临界表面胶团浓度和表面胶团化的标准热力学函数。实验表明,随TX100浓度的增大,CAB-O-SIL悬浮液稳定性出现不规则的变化。加入NaCl的效应是使悬浮液的稳定性下降和促进表面胶团的形成。结合吸附研究结果,提出了一个涉及表面胶团的颗粒相互作用模型,合理地解释了悬浮液稳定性的实验结果。     

O与O2在Au团簇上吸附的密度泛函理论研究

采用基于密度泛函理论(DFT)的Dmol³程序系统研究了O原子与O₂在 Au₁₉与Au₂₀团簇上的吸附反应行为. 结果表明: O在Au₁₉团簇顶端洞位上的吸附较Au₂₀强; 在侧桥位吸附强度相近. O与O₂在带负电Au团簇上吸附较强, 在正电团簇吸附较弱. 从O―O键长看, 当金团簇带负电时, O―O键长较长, 中性团簇次之, 正电团簇中O―O键长较短, 因而O₂活化程度依次减弱. 电荷布居分析表明, Au团簇带负电时, O与O₂得电子数较中性团簇多, 而团簇带正电时, 得电子数较少. 差分电荷密度(CDD)表明, O₂与Au团簇作用时, 金团簇失电子, O₂的π^*轨道得电子, 使O―O键活化. O₂在Au₁₉^-团簇上解离反应活化能为1.33 eV, 较中性团簇低0.53 eV; 而在Au₁₉⁺上活化能为2.27 eV, 较中性团簇高0.41 eV, 这与O₂在不同电性Au₁₉团簇O―O键活化规律相一致.     

纳米镍团簇表面性质及能量的分子动力学研究

在单分散金属纳米粒子制备过程中,金属烧结现象需要尽量避免。烧结与诸多因素有关,其中金属纳米粒子的表面性质和能量对烧结作用有着重要影响。本工作利用分子动力学,以4种不同粒径的金属Ni纳米团簇为研究对象,在COMPASS力场下对不同温度下其表面积、扩散性质、表面能以及比表面能等进行了计算。结果显示,随着温度从300K升至1000K,纳米团簇的表面积稍微增加了约5%,表面层扩散系数显著增加了约3个数量级,表面能量升高了约15%,同时表面层与体相的能量差明显增加了近3倍。比表面能定义为增加单位表面积所引起的表面能的增量。计算结果表明,700K时团簇的比表面能比镍熔点处的表面张力高出约3个数量级,预示着团簇烧结具有强大的推动力。比表面能随温度升高以及粒径增大而下降,与热力学原理相一致。

运用密度泛函理论(DFT),采用Mo16S32团簇模型,在PW91/DNP水平上研究了噻吩(TP)及一系列烷基噻吩类硫化物如2-甲基噻吩(2-MT)、3-甲基噻吩(3-MT)、2,3-二甲基噻吩(2,3-DMT)、2,4-二甲基噻吩(2,4-DMT)、2,5-二甲基噻吩(2,5-DMT)及3,4-二甲基噻吩(3,4-DMT)等在加氢脱硫催化剂MoS2上的吸附行为.结果表明,在η1S吸附构型中,Mo16S32团簇对烷基噻吩吸附能力的顺序为2,5-DMT>2,4-DMT≈2,3-DMT>2-MT>3,4-DMT>3-MT>TP.通过键长、Mayer键级、Mulliken电荷分析可知,当噻吩环的2-或5-位不含甲基时,吸附能随硫原子电荷密度的增加而增大;2-或5-位含甲基时,甲基与团簇上相邻的Mo原子发生了弱的相互作用,使吸附能增大;虽然2,5-DMT的2-和5-位均含有甲基,但甲基离团簇上相邻的Mo较远,相互作用较小,吸附能较2,3-DMT和2,4-DMT增加的较少.文中还对各硫化物在MoS2催化剂上的加氢脱硫反应进行了讨论.     

The adsorption of CO2, H2CO3, HCO3− and CO32− on Cu2O (111) surface: First‐principles study

The adsorption of CO₂, and its derivatives, H₂CO₃, HCO, and CO, on Cu₂O (111) surface has been investigated by first‐principles calculations based on the density functional theory at B3LYP hybrid functional level. The Cu₂O (111) surface has been modeled using an embedded cluster method,in which the quantum clusters plus some ab initio ion model potentials were inserted in an array of point charges. On the surface, H₂CO₃ was dissociated into an H⁺ and an HCO ion. Among the CO₂ species, HCO was the only activated species on the surface. The results suggest that the reduction of CO₂ on Cu₂O (111) surface can start from the form of HCO. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Quantum Chem, 2011     

Theoretical study on AlnO2 (n = 1–10) clusters and O2 adsorption on the Al(111) surface

The structural properties of neutral and ionic Al_nO₂ (n = 1–10) clusters have been systematically investigated using the density functional method B3LYP with a standard 6‐311+G(d) basis set. The calculated results show that in the Al_nO, Al_nO₂, and Al_nO (n ≥ 3) clusters, O atoms tend to penetrate into the aluminum clusters with some Al atoms moving outward. The binding energies and natural charges populations indicate that the oxygen‐etching is generally stronger in the order Al < Al_n < Al for n < 3, and Al > Al_n > Al for n ≥ 3. To further understand the mechanism of interaction between Al and O₂, the adsorption of O₂ on the Al(111) surface was studied using the density functional theory with plane wave pseudopotential method. The calculated results are consistent with the experimental observation that the O₂ molecule would dissociate on the Al(111) surface and be adsorbed in adjacent hollow sites, forming a local structure of Al₃O–Al₃O. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Theoretical study of the diffusion of alkali metals on a Cu(111) surface

We present a theoretical study of the diffusion of Li, Na and K on a Cu(111) surface. Various diffusional paths are identified and characterized in terms of kinetic parameters such as diffusion constants and activation energies. We use a model potential parametrized from DFT calculations to determine adsorption energies, surface corrugation and diffusional behaviors. Two representations of the copper surface (2D and 3D) are used to investigate its effect on the adsorption patterns, diffusion constants and activation energies. An interesting result is that the adsorption pattern for Na and K changes when adding layers of substrate (2D → 3D) favouring unusual adsorption sites, which is in agreement with recent theoretical evidence.     

H2O在Fe3O4 (111)表面吸附的结构及热力学研究

使用密度泛函理论（GGA/PBE）对H₂O在Fe_tet1-和Fe_oct2-终结Fe₃O₄ (111)表面的吸附行为进行了研究。对于Fe_tet1-终结表面,在1/5 ML覆盖度下,带有氢键的H₂O分子以及异裂解离的结构具有最高的稳定性,而类似水合氢离子的OH₃⁺-OH结构出现在2/5 ML覆盖度下,其次为带有氢键的水的聚合体。这些结果与实验中观测到的现象一致。对于Fe_oct2-终结表面,在1/6 ML覆盖度下,分子态H₂O的吸附是有利的,而在1/3 ML覆盖度下多种吸附形式共存。H₂O吸附在Fe_tet1-终结表面比吸附在Fe_oct2-终结表面热力学上更有利。此外,通过计算局域态密度（LDOS）对吸附机理进行了分析。     

Selective oxidation of styrene on an oxygen‐adsorbed Cu(111): A comparison with Au(111)

The reaction mechanism for the styrene selective oxidation on the oxygen preadsorbed Cu(111) surface has been studied by the density functional theory calculation with the periodic slab model. The calculated result indicated that the process includes two steps: forming the oxametallacycle intermediate (OMMS) and then producing the products. In addition, it was found that the second step, from OMMS to the product, is the rate‐controlling step, which is similar to the previous work of ethylene selective oxidation. The present result indicated that the selectivity towards the formation of styrene epoxide on Cu(111) is much higher than that on Au(111). More importantly, we found that the mechanism via the OMMS (2) (i.e., the preadsorbed atomic oxygen bound to the CH₂ group involved in C₆H₅? CH?CH₂) to produce styrene epoxide is kinetically favored than that of OMMS (1). We also found that the selectivity toward the styrene epoxide formation on Cu₂O is similar to that of Cu(111). © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Comput Chem, 2010     

Pd/Cu(111)双金属表面催化糠醛脱碳及加氢的反应机理

采用密度泛函理论(DFT)研究糠醛在最稳定Pd/Cu(111)双金属表面上的吸附构型和糠醛脱碳及加氢的反应机理。结果表明,当糠醛初始吸附于O_3-Pd-top、O_7-Cu-hcp位时,吸附构型最稳定,其吸附能为73.4 kJ/mol。糠醛在Pd/Cu(111)双金属表面上更易发生脱碳反应。对于糠醛脱碳反应,所需活化能较低,各个基元反应均为放热反应,糠醛更易先失去支链上的H形成(C_4H_3O)CO,然后中间体脱碳加氢得到呋喃,其中,C_4H_3O加氢生成呋喃所需活化能(72.6 kJ/mol)最高,是反应的控速步骤。对于加氢反应,糠醛与首个氢原子的反应需要最大的活化能(290.4 kJ/mol),是反应的限速步骤。     

A DFT Study of CO Adsorption on the Cu2O（111） Surface with Oxygen Vacancy

First-principles calculations based on density functional theory （DFr） and the generalized gradient approximation （GGA） have been used to study the adsorption of CO molecule on the Cu2O（111） oxygen-vacancy surface. Calculations indicate that the C-O bond is weakened upon adsorption compared with that over perfect surface. In addition, with the density increase of the defective sites, the adsorption energies of the defect-CO configuration increase whereas the C-O bond nearly remains constant.     

First principles study of O2 dissociation on Pt(111) surface: Stepwise mechanism

We have performed first‐principle density functional theory calculations to investigate O₂ dissociation on Pt(111) surface. A stepwise mechanism has been proposed. First, the adsorbed O₂ dissociate into two oxygen atoms to get adsorbed on the nearby adsorption sites. Then, oxygen atoms further migrate to other more stable adsorption sites. The influence of solvent water on oxygen dissociation was also examined. The results show that the co‐adsorption of water has little impact on O₂ dissociation. However, when water participates in the reaction, the energy barriers were reduced greatly. These results have very important significance to understand the mechanism of oxygen reduction. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

INDO calculations of small copper clusters and CO adsorbed on copper(100) surfaces

A new parameterization for copper at the INDO/CI level is presented. Results for excitation energies, ionization potentials, and electron detachment energies are presented for selected copper clusters with up to ten atoms. The parameterization gives improved results for calculations of spectroscopic properties for systems with significant copper–copper interactions, such as clusters and model surfaces. Results for the O1s shakeup of CO attached to Cu(100) model surfaces for the new parameters are compared with experiments and with results obtained using the standard parameters. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Adsorption and migration growth of the Ce,O, and F adatoms on the CeO2 (111) surface: A density functional theory study

In order to investigate the microscopic behavior of the crystal surface growth of the fluorinated cerium dioxide polishing powder, the adsorption and migration of the Ce, O, and F atoms on the CeO₂ (111) surface were studied by using density functional theory with Hubbard correction +U. The adsorption energies of three single atoms at five high-symmetry sites and the migration activation energies along the migration pathway on the CeO₂ (111) surface were calculated. Results show that the most stable adsorption sites of the Ce, O, and F atoms were the O_h, Ce_bri, and Ce_t sites, respectively. The Ce atom migrated from the O_h to the O_t site. The O atom migrated from the Ce_bri to the O_bri site. The F atom migrated from the Ce_t to the O_h site. The migration activation energies of the Ce, O, and F atoms along the migration pathways were 1.526, 0.597, and 0.263 eV, respectively. The F adatom does not change the spatial configuration of the Ce and the O atoms. When the O vacancy occurs on the CeO₂ (111) surface, the F adatom can make up for the O vacancy defect.
