Adsorption and Diffusion of O Atoms on Ag（210） Stepped Surface

The O-Ag(210)surface adsorption system was studied via the five-parameter Morse potential theory.Meanwhile,the 2O-Ag(210)system was investigated via the extended London-Eyring-Polanyi-Sato(LEPS)potential theory to learn the interaction between the adsorption states.Calculated results demonstrate that there are two stable on-surface adsorption sites(B and H)for O atoms on Ag(210)stepped surface.And the perpendicular vibrations are 30.3 and 42.9 meV,which are close to that observed in high resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy(HREELS).Also,there exists an octahedral subsurface adsorption state with a high vibrational frequency,and the interaction between the on-surface and subsurface O species is slight.The mode at 54.6 meV,which is close to that observed in HREELS(54-56 meV),is because of the vibration of the O atom on B site under the influence of that on H site.

Adsorption and reactions of ClCH2CH2OH on clean and oxygen-precovered Cu(100): experimental and computational studies

Temperature-programmed reaction/desorption, reflection-absorption infrared spectroscopy, and density functional theory calculations have been employed to investigate the adsorption and thermal reactions of ClCH2CH2OH on clean and oxygen-precovered Cu(100) surfaces. On Cu(100), ClCH2CH2OH is mainly adsorbed reversibly. The ClCH2CH2OH molecules at a submonolayer coverage can change their orientation with increasing temperature. However, on oxygen-precovered Cu(100), all of the adsorbed ClCH2CH2OH molecules below 0.5 langmuir exposures completely dissociate to generate ethylene and acetaldehyde via the intermediate of ClCH2CH2O-. The computational studies predict that the ClCH2CH2O- is most likely to be adsorbed at the 4-fold hollow sites of Cu(100), with its C-O bond only slightly titled away from the surface normal and with a gauche conformation with respect to the C-C bond. The hollow-site ClCH2CH2O- has an adsorption energy that is 4.4 and 19.2 kcal x mol(-1) lower than that of the ClCH2CH2O- bonded at the bridging and atop sites, respectively. No significant effect of precovered oxygen on the ClCH2CH2O- bonding geometry and infrared band frequencies has been observed, as compared with the case without oxygen.     

The Interaction of Oxygen with Silver Powders. A Comparison Between Esca Results and Volumetric Measurement

Interactions of oxygen with silver powders have been studied with a combination of angle-resolved ESCA and volumetric adsorption. Three states of adsorbed oxygen, i.e., atomically adsorbed oxygen, dissolved oxygen, and surface oxide, are characterized by 0(1s)-ESCA peaks at binding energies of 530.2, 532.0, and 529.3 eV respectivcly. The ESCA studies also suggest that atomically adsorbed oxygen dissolves into the subsurface of silver powders at temperatures above 100 °C, and then transforms into oxide (Ag₂O) at 175 °C. Adsorbed oxygen on the silver powders was partially desorbed at temperatures higher than 180 °C. The transformation and desorption information obtained from ESCA satisfactorily explains the variation of the adsorption isotherm with temperature obtained from the volumetric adsorption of oxygen on Ag/SiO₂ catalysts.     

Adsorption Site and State of Nitrogen Atom on Ru（0001）, （1010） Low-index and （1120）, （1121） Stepped Surfaces

The adsorptions of nitrogen atoms on Ru(0001), (1010) low index surfaces and (1120), (1121) stepped surfaces were investigated by the five-parameter Morse potential(5-MP) method in details.

Adsorption of small organic molecules on anatase and rutile surfaces: a theoretical study

The adsorption of several small organic molecules on rutile (110) and (100) as well as on anatase (101) surfaces was investigated by Car-Parrinello molecular dynamics in aqueous solution and a new approach to the calculation of adsorption energies is proposed, taking into account the potential energy fluctuation of larger systems. Acetylene and ethylene insert into twin oxygen vacancies in the surface and form polarized covalent Ti-C bonds. In one case spontaneous coupling of two acetylene molecules to a C(4)H(3) molecule with a structure similar to trans-butadiene was observed. Neutral catechol and the singly charged anion were not reactive on any titanium dioxide surface, but the twofold-charged anion attained stable mono- and bidentated geometries on anatase. Methanol, ethanol, formaldehyde and acetaldehyde adsorbed with their functional groups. Very stable geometries provide a Ti-O bond and have adsorption energies of 60-200 kJ/mol. The adsorbates compete with water molecules for similar adsorption sites in point defects as well as on perfect surfaces.     

Adsorption of O, H, OH, and H2O on Ag(100)

The adsorption of H(2)O and its dissociation products, O, H, and OH, on Ag(100) has been studied using an ab initio embedding method. Results at different sites (atop, bridge, and hollow) are presented. The four-fold hollow site is found to be the most stable adsorption site for O, H, and OH, and the calculated adsorption energies are 87.1, 42.7, and 76.2 kcal mol(-1), respectively. The adsorption energy of water at the atop and bridge sites is almost identical with values of 11.1 and 12.0 kcal mol(-1), respectively. The formation of adsorbed OH species by adsorption of water on oxygen-precovered Ag(100) is predicted to be exothermic by 36 kcal mol(-1).     

Initial Subsurface Incorporation of Oxygen into Ru(0001): A Density Functional Theory Study

The adsorption and diffusion of oxygen on Ru(0001) surfaces as a function of coverage are systematically investigated by using density functional theory. A high incorporation barrier of low‐coverage adsorbed oxygen into the subsurface is discovered. Calculations show that the adsorption of additional on‐surface oxygen can lower the penetration barrier dramatically. The minimum penetration barrier obtained is 1.81 eV for a path starting with oxygen in mixed on‐surface hcp and fcc sites at an oxygen coverage of 0.75 ML, which should be regarded as close to 1 ML. Energy diagrams show that oxygen‐diffusion barriers on the surface and in the subsurface are much lower than the penetration barrier. Oxygen diffusion on the surface is an indispensable step for its initial incorporation into the subsurface.     

The Surface Chemistry of Water on Fe(100): A Density Functional Theory Study

The formation of water by hydrogenation of atomic oxygen is studied using density functional theory. Atomic oxygen preferentially adsorbs at the four‐fold hollow site, the hydroxyl group prefers the bridge site in a tilted configuration, and water is most stable when adsorbed at the top site with the two O? H bonds parallel to the Fe surface. Water formation by the hydrogenation of oxygen is a highly activated process on the Fe(100) surface, with similar activation energies, in the order of 1.1 eV, for the first and second hydrogen additions. A more favourable route for the addition of the second hydrogen atom involves the disproportionation of hydroxyl groups to form water and adsorbed oxygen. Dissociation of the OH is also likely since the activation energy is similar to that for disproportionation of 0.65 eV. Furthermore, the results show that the dissociation of water on Fe(100) is a non‐activated process: 0.16 eV for the zero‐coverage limit and 0.03 eV when surface oxygen is present. Herein, adsorption energies, structures and vibrational frequencies are presented for several adsorption states at 0.25 ML coverage, as well as the potential energy surface for water formation on Fe(100).     

Adsorption and Diffusion of Hydrogen Atom on Low-index Ag Planes

1 INTRODUCTION The interaction of hydrogen with metal surfaces has been extensively investigated experimentally and theoretically[1] motivated by its technological im- portance as well as theoretical attractiveness. Studies have sought to identify and explain the induced struc- tural, electronic and chemical perturbations which accompany hydrogen physisorption and chemisorp- tion on well-characterized metal substrates. However, the interaction of hydrogen atoms with Ag surfaces has not r…     

Oxygen adsorption on Al (111) surface interstitial site calculated by density functional theory

The adsorption possibilities of oxygen atoms at Al (111) surface for different oxygen atom coverages (Θ) from 0.25 to 1 ml have been studied using first principles based on density functional theory with generalized gradient approximation. The results show that the interstitial sites on Al (111) surface are relatively stable, in which binding energies are 0.6 ～ 1 eV/atom lower than those on surface face centered cubic (fcc) sites for the different coverages. The binding energy and work function of the oxygen‐adsorbed surface increase with the oxygen atom coverage. Moreover, the oxygen atom at one tetrahedral site of Al (111) subsurface becomes more and more unstable with the decrease of the coverage, and it moves up to the Al (111) surface hexagonal close packed (hcp) site at Θ = 0.25. All the octahedral absorption sites are also unstable in relatively lower coverages (Θ = 0.5 and 0.25). The bond length and overlap population between Al and O, including the relaxation effects on the oxygen atom coverage are discussed. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Effect of subsurface oxygen on the reactivity of the Ag(111) surface

Periodic, self-consistent, density functional theory calculations have been performed to demonstrate that subsurface oxygen (O(sb)) dramatically increases the reactivity of the Ag(111) surface. O(sb) greatly facilitates the dissociation of H2, O2, and NO and enhances the binding of H, C, N, O, O2, CO, NO, C2H2, and C2H4 on the Ag(111) surface. This effect originates from an O(sb)-induced upshift of the d-band center of the Ag surface and becomes more pronounced at higher O(sb) coverage. Our findings point to the important role that near-surface impurities, such as O(sb), can play in determining the thermochemistry and kinetics of elementary steps catalyzed by transition metal surfaces.     

Adsorption and co-adsorption of ethylene and carbon monoxide on silica-supported monodisperse Pt nanoparticles: volumetric adsorption and infrared spectroscopy studies

The adsorption of carbon monoxide and ethylene, and their sequential adsorption, was studied over a series of Pt/SBA-15 catalysts with monodisperse particle sizes ranging from 1.7 to 7.1 nm by diffuse-reflectance infrared spectroscopy and chemisorption. Gas adsorption was dependent on the Pt particle size, temperature, and sequence of gas exposure. Adsorption of CO at room temperature on Pt/SBA-15 gives rise to a spectroscopic feature assigned to the C-O stretch: nu(CO) = 2075 cm-1 (1.9 nm); 2079 cm-1 (2.9 nm); 2082 cm-1 (3.6 nm); and 2090 cm-1 (7.1 nm). The intensity of the signal decreased in a sigmoidal fashion with increasing temperature, thereby providing semiquantitative surface coverage information. Adsorption of ethylene on Pt/SBA-15 gave rise to spectroscopic features at approximately 1340, approximately 1420, and approximately 1500 cm-1 assigned to ethylidyne, di-sigma-bonded ethylene, and pi-bonded ethylene, respectively. The ratio of these surface species is highly dependent on the Pt particle size. At room temperature, Pt particles stabilize ethylidyne as well as di-sigma- and pi-bonded ethylene; however, ethylidyne predominated on the surfaces of larger particles. Ethylidyne was the only identifiable species at 403 K, with its formation being more facile on larger particles. Co-adsorption experiments reveal that the composition of the surface layer is dependent on the order of exposure to gases. Exposure of a C2H4-covered Pt surface to CO resulted in an approximately 50% decrease in chemisorbed CO compared to a fresh Pt surface. The nu(CO) appeared at 2050 cm-1 on Pt/SBA-15 pretreated with C2H4 at room temperature. The di-sigma-bonded and pi-bonded species are the most susceptible to displacement from the surface by CO. The formation of ethylidyne appeared to be less sensitive to the presence of adsorbed carbon monoxide, especially on larger particles. Upon exposure of C2H4 to a CO-covered Pt surface, little irreversible uptake occurred due to nearly 100% site blocking. These results demonstrate that carbon monoxide competes directly with ethylene for surface sites, which will have direct implications on the poisoning of the heterogeneously catalyzed conversion of hydrocarbons.     

Adsorption, vibration, and diffusion of O atoms on Rh low-index and (711) stepped defective surfaces

The adsorption, vibration, and diffusion of O atoms on Rh(100), Rh(111), Rh(110), and Rh(711) surfaces were studied using the 5-parameter Morse potential (5-MP) of interaction between an adatom and a metal surface cluster. Our theoretical calculations provide information about adsorption sites, adsorption geometry, binding energy, and eigenvibration. Our results agreed very well with experimental results. Four major results follow. First, the theoretical calculation showed that on the Rh(100) surface the 4-fold hollow site is the only adsorption site. Second, on the O-Rh(111) system, the 3-fold hollow site is the stable adsorption site. Third, on the Rh(110) surface at low coverage, the O atom is adsorbed preferably on the pseudo-3-fold site, while with increasing coverage, the O atom is adsorbed not only on the pseudo-3-fold site but also on the long bridge site. Last, as for the Rh(711) stepped surface, the 3-fold site on the (111) step is metastable, whereas the 4-fold sites on the (100) terrace are stable, which enables the O atoms to diffuse easily from the 3-fold to the 4-fold site at low coverage. Therefore, the O atoms are adsorbed preferrably on the stable 4-fold sites of the (100) terrace and then later as coverage increases on the metastable 3-fold site of the (110) step.     

铂催化氧还原反应过程中磷酸的影响及抑制磷酸吸附策略

与低温(<100oC)质子交换膜燃料电池相比,磷酸掺杂PBI膜燃料电池可工作于100–200 oC,工作温度的提高有利于提高电极反应动力学速率、增加Pt催化剂对CO等毒物的耐受性,以及简化电池水管理等.然而,磷酸在Pt催化剂表面吸附较强,这将造成Pt一定程度的毒化.基于“第三体效应”,即在Pt表面预吸附某些小分子,可在一定程度上抑制磷酸吸附,然而预吸附分子同时也将占据Pt表面部分活性位点,因而Pt的催化性能最终由两个因素决定：磷酸抑制程度和预吸附分子在Pt表面的覆盖度.
　　本文系统考察了Pt表面预吸附分子覆盖度和预吸附分子链长对其催化氧还原反应(ORR)活性的影响.首先,通过控制预吸附了胺类分子的Pt电极的电位,得到表面具有不同覆盖度的Pt电极,考察了0.1 mol/L H3PO4电解液中Pt电极对ORR的催化活性随预吸附分子覆盖度的变化规律;为分离磷酸吸附和修饰分子吸附本身对Pt催化活性的影响,对比了0.1 mol/L HClO4电解液中Pt电极对ORR的催化活性随预吸附分子覆盖度的变化规律.进一步对比研究了不同链长胺分子——正丁胺(BA)、正辛胺(OA)及十二胺(DA)等作为修饰分子对Pt/C催化剂电催化ORR活性的影响.结果表明,随修饰分子在Pt表面覆盖度提高,在0.1 mol/L HClO4溶液中,由于预吸附分子占据Pt部分活性位,修饰后光滑Pt电极表面的本征活性单调下降;而在0.1 mol/L H3PO4中,修饰后光滑Pt电极表面的ORR活性呈现先升高后降低的趋势,当预吸附分子覆盖度约为20%时,其ORR活性最高,为未修饰的光滑Pt电极表面的1.67倍.这表明预吸附分子有效抑制了磷酸的吸附,且当预吸附分子覆盖度约为20%时,预吸附分子对Pt表面的占据与其抑制磷酸吸附的作用达到最佳平衡点.然而,当修饰分子BA, OA和DA在Pt表面覆盖度分别为38.6%,26.1%和26.1%时, Pt/C在0.1 mol/L H3PO4中的ORR催化活性接近,分别为未经修饰Pt/C电催化剂的1.7,1.8和2.0倍,这表明预吸附分子链长对ORR催化活性影响较小,表面预吸附分子抑制磷酸吸附的策略对Pt/C催化剂也同样适用.同时, Pt/C电极经BA, OA和DA修饰后,其在0.1 mol/L HClO4中的比表面活性分别为未经修饰Pt/C电催化剂的1.0,1.1和1.3倍,与修饰后光滑Pt电极表面本征ORR活性变化规律不一致.然而,与Pt在HClO4电解质中的ORR活性相比, ORR的半波电位仍有大约123 mV的差距,今后还需继续从催化剂的角度,如调控Pt表面的吸附特性,或从创新电解质的角度,如有机磷酸电解质等出发解决磷酸毒化的问题.     

Bond character of thiophene on Ge(100): Effects of coverage and temperature

We have studied the adsorption and decomposition of thiophene (C4H4S) on Ge(100) using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), high-resolution core-level photoemission spectroscopy (HRPES), and density functional theory (DFT) calculation. Analysis of S 2p core-level spectra reveals three adsorption geometries, which we assign to a Ge-S dative bonding state, a [4 + 2] cycloaddition bonding state, and a decomposed bonding state (desulfurization reaction product). Furthermore, we found that the number ratio of the three adsorption geometries depended on the molecular coverage and the annealing temperature. At low coverages, the kinetically favorable dative bonding state is initially formed at room temperature. As the molecular coverage increases, thermodynamically stable [4 + 2] cycloaddition reaction products are additionally produced. In addition, we found that as the surface temperature increased, the [4 + 2] cycloaddition reaction product either possibly desorbed as molecular thiophene or decomposed to form a metallocycle-like species (C4H4Ge2) and a sulfide (Ge2S). We systematically elucidate the changes in the bonding states of adsorbed thiophene on Ge(100) according to the thiophene coverage and annealing temperature.     

The effect of alloying on the H-atom adsorption on the (100) surfaces of Pd-Ag,Pd-Pt,Pd-Au,Pt-Ag,and Pt-Au. A theoretical study

The effect of alloying on the adsorption of atomic hydrogen was studied using density functional theory (DFT). In the study the (100) surfaces of Pd-Ag, Pd-Pt, Pd-Au, Pt-Ag, and Pt-Au alloys were considered by means of a cluster model. The structural and energetic properties of the H atom adsorbed on the Pd₄Me (Me = Ag, Pt, Au) and Pt₄Me (Me = Pd, Ag, Au) clusters were calculated and compared with the H-atom adsorption on monometallic clusters. The effect of alloying on the H-atom adsorption is evident for all the investigated bimetallic systems. However, it strongly depends on the second metal atom, Me, is placed in the surface layer or in the subsurface one. In general, the H atom adsorbed in a site containing the second metal exhibits different properties from those characteristic of its adsorption on Pd(100) and Pt(100). Hence, the modified interaction between atomic hydrogen and the alloyed surfaces may increase the selectivity of the catalytic hydrogenation reactions on such surfaces.
