Ru修饰前后Pd(111)面的性质及对糠醛吸附的比较研究

采用密度泛函理论研究了Pd(111)面和Ru-Pd(111)面的性质及对糠醛的吸附.原子尺寸因素、相对键长、形成能及d带中心等计算结果表明,Ru-Pd(111)面比Pd(111)面稳定且活性强,Ru的修饰优化了Pd(111)面的几何构型.糠醛在Pd(111)面及Ru-Pd(111)面的初始吸附位分别为P(top-bridge)位及P(Pd-fcc-Ru-fcc)位时,吸附能最大,吸附构型最稳定.由电荷布局和差分电荷密度可得,糠醛在Ru-Pd(111)面上电荷转移数更多,相互作用更强烈,因此吸附能更大.分析态密度可知,产生吸附的主要原因是位于-7.34 eV处至费米能级处的p,d轨道杂化.吸附于Ru-Pd(111)面后糠醛分子的p轨道向低能级偏移程度更明显,使Ru改性后的Pd催化剂具有更好的催化活性.     

TiO2负载单金属镍（铂）催化剂在甲烷解离反应中抗积碳能力的理论研究

研究碳原子在TiO2(101)负载镍或铂原子上的吸附行为对于阐明积碳问题提供了一个热力学线索.广义梯度近似密度泛函理论的PBE计算结果表明,镍在TiO2表面最稳定构型的吸附能为347.16 kJ/mol,铂对应的最稳定构型的吸附能为315.9 kJ/mol,而且2种金属的最稳定构型均处于TiO2表面2个O2c原子之间的桥位.吸附金属原子后,TiO2的态密度图中各电子峰向低能量方向移动,体系趋于稳定.从态密度图可知,碳的p轨道与金属原子的d轨道发生叠加,说明碳原子与金属原子成键,从而使吸附后Ni或Pt与O原子之间的相互作用减弱.碳原子吸附在Ni/TiO2(101)和Pt/TiO2(101)表面的最佳吸附结构的吸附能分别为474.19和570.08 kJ/mol,说明TiO2负载铂催化剂在甲烷重整反应中抗积碳能力较强.

Luminescence from 3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylic dianhydride on Ag(111) surface excited by tunneling electrons in scanning tunneling microscopy

The electronic excitations induced with tunneling electrons into adlayers of 3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylic dianhydride (PTCDA) on Ag(111) have been investigated by in situ fluorescence spectroscopy in scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). A minute area of the surface is excited by an electron tunneling process in STM. Fluorescence spectra strongly depend on the coverage of PTCDA on Ag(111). The adsorption of the first PTCDA layer quenches the intrinsic surface plasmon originated from the clean Ag(111). When the second layer is formed, fluorescence spectra are dominated by the signals from PTCDA, which are interpreted as the radiative decay from the manifold of first singlet excited state (S(1)) of adsorbed PTCDA. The fluorescence of PTCDA is independent of the bias polarity. In addition, the fluorescence excitation spectrum agrees with that by optical excitation. Both results indicate that S(1) is directly excited by the inelastic impact scattering of electrons tunneling within the PTCDA adlayer.     

Solvent effect on the aggregate of fluorinated gemini surfactant at silica surface

The aggregate states of partially fluorinated gemini surfactant [(CF3)2CF(CF2)2(CH2)10N(CH3)2]2(CH2)6Br2 (C(F)(5)C10-C6-C10C(F)(5)) on silica surface were investigated with atomic force microscopy (AFM) and water contact angle (CA) measurement by analyzing the effects of bulk concentration and adsorption time on stack state. On surfactant-adsorbed silica surfaces, there was a flat surface layer interspersed with some scattering surfactant aggregates. In the case of short adsorption times, the aggregates would be hemisphere. In the case of long adsorption times, the aggregates would be present in the form of bilayers. With the increase of bulk concentration, the adsorbed amount was enlarged and the surface layer became more compact. The formation of patchy bilayer aggregates indicated the saturation of the surface layer. Furthermore, organic solvent effects on the aggregate state of the surfactant on a silica surface were studied with four organic solvents, including n-hexane, dehydrated ethanol, 1,1,2-trichloro-1,2,2-trifluoroethane, and toluene. With the treatment of different organic solvents, the hemisphere aggregates on the surface layer can rearrange into spherical bilayer, rodlike monolayer, and branched rodlike monolayer aggregates, respectively. The polarity of solvents and affinity of organic solvents for surfactant molecules may have a great impact on the stack state of the fluorinated gemini surfactant molecules.     

The interaction of CO with PdAg/Pd(111) surface alloys--a case study of ensemble effects on a bimetallic surface

The interaction of CO with structurally well-defined PdAg/Pd(111) surface alloys was investigated by temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) and high-resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy (HREELS) to unravel and understand contributions from electronic strain, electronic ligand and geometric ensemble effects. TPD measurements indicate that CO adsorption is not possible on the Ag sites of the surface alloys (at 120 K) and that the CO binding strength on Pd sites decreases significantly with increasing Ag concentration. Comparison with previous scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) data on the distribution of Pd and Ag atoms in the surface alloy shows that this modification is mainly due to geometric ensemble effects, since Pd(3) ensembles, which are the preferred ensembles for CO adsorption on non-modified Pd(111), are no longer available on Ag-rich surfaces. Consequently, the preferred CO adsorption site changes with increasing Ag content from a Pd(3) trimer via a Pd(2) dimer to a Pd monomer, going along with a successive weakening of CO adsorption. Additionally, the CO adsorption properties of the surface alloys are also influenced by electronic ligand and strain effects, but on a lower scale. The results are discussed in comparison with previous findings on PdAg bulk alloys, supported PdAg catalysts and PdAu/Pd(111) model systems.     

The adsorption of CaOH+ on (001) basal and (010) edge surface of Na‐montmorillonite: a DFT study

Ca²⁺ cations were generally added to facilitate the coagulation of stable fine clay mineral dispersion due to the specific adsorption of their first hydrolysis CaOH⁺ species at pH near 10. The adsorption of CaOH⁺ on dry and hydrated (001) basal surface and (010) surface of Na‐montmorillonite was investigated by using density functional theory method combined with the periodic slab model method. The adsorption energies and geometries, Mulliken charge, electron density difference, and density of state were presented and discussed. It was found that the adsorption energy of CaOH⁺ on (010) edge surface of Na‐montmorillonite (?328.8 kJ/mol) was much larger than that (?126.9 kJ/mol) on (001) basal surface. The presence of waters could increase the adsorption energy of CaOH⁺ on (001) surface but affect that on (010) surface slightly. The protons in Si–OH and Al–OH₂ groups as well as the OH₂ ligands in Al–OH₂ group on (010) edge surface were easily dissociated and coordinated to CaOH⁺ to form new waters. CaOH⁺ was the most steady adsorption species among CaOH⁺, Ca²⁺ cation, and H₂O molecule on both (001) and (010) surfaces. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

First-principles investigation of structural,electronic, and optical properties of transition metal-doped C40 CrSi2

Although CrSi₂ silicide is an attractive advanced functional material, the improvement of electronic and optical properties is still a challenge for its applications. Here, we apply the first-principles calculations to investigate the influence of transition metals (TMs) on the electronic and optical properties of C40 CrSi₂ silicide. Five possible TMs, Ti, V, Pd, Ag, and Pt, are considered in detail. The calculated results show that the additive metals Ti, V, Pd, and Pt are thermodynamically stable in C40 CrSi₂ because the calculated impurity formation energy of TM-doped C40 CrSi₂ is lower than zero. In particular, the V dopant is more thermodynamically stable than that of the other TMs. The calculated electronic structure shows that the band gap of C40 CrSi₂ is 0.391 eV, which is in good agreement with the other results. In particular, the additive TMs improve the electronic properties of C40 CrSi₂ due to the role of the d-state of TMs. Naturally, the additive TMs result in band migration (Cr-3d state and Si-3p state) from the valence band to the conduction band. Interestingly, the additive TMs lead to a red shift for optical adsorption of C40 CrSi₂ silicide.     

Ge adsorption on Ag(111): A density-functional theory investigation

First-principles density-functional theory has been used to investigate the adsorptions of Ge on Ag(111) surfaces for a wide range of coverage. Preferred adsorption sites, adsorption energies, surface structures, and the electronic properties are studied. Our results show that adsorption on the surface in fcc- sites is energetically favorable. The adsorption energies decrease as increasing Ge atoms, while the work functions of Ag surface decrease. The contour maps of the difference charge show that there exists covalent bonding in lower coverage systems to some extent for Ge on Ag(111) surface, and the interaction of Ge and Ag atoms becomes weaker with the increase of adsorption degree. The calculated density of states indicates that the adsorption structures have metallic character, while the number of electron transition is small and the interaction is not strong between Ge and Ag atoms.
