Theory Study of the Adsorption of Hydrocyanic Acid onto Small Silver Clusters

Density functional theory calculations have been performed to study the interaction of small silver clusters, Ag2 ~Ag9, with HCN. The adsorption of HCN on-top site of the silver cluster, among various possible sites, is energetically preferred. The adsorption energies of HCN on the silver clusters reach a local maximum at n = 4, which is only about 0.450 eV, indicating that the adsorbed HCN molecule is weakly perturbed. The adsorbed C–N and C–H stretching frequencies are blue- and red-shifted compared with the values of free HCN, respectively.     

Density Functional Theory Study on the Adsorption of Dioxygen on Small Pt-Pd Clusters

1 INTRODUCTION The bimetallic nanoclusters are of standing inte- rest since they can exhibit catalytic, electronic and optical properties distinct from those of corre- sponding pure nanoclusters[1～4]. Palladium and pla- tinum, well known for their catalytic properties, are often used as the catalyst in different fuel cells[5～8]. Several experimental results illustrate that for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), which is one of the primary reactions taking place in many fuel cells and…     

甲醇在Au(111)表面吸附的密度泛函研究

 采用基于第一性原理的密度泛函理论和周期平板模型相结合的方法,对CH3OH分子在Au(111)表面top, fcc, hcp和bridge位的吸附模型进行了构型优化、能量计算以及Mulliken布居分析,结果表明top位是较有利的吸附位. 吸附的CH3OH解离产生甲氧基CH3O和H, 对它们在Au(111)面的吸附进行的计算表明, bridge和fcc位分别是二者的最佳吸附位. 对过渡态的计算给出了CH3OH在Au表面解离吸附的可能机理: 首先发生 O-H 键的断裂,继而生成甲氧基中间体.     

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.     

Adsorption Study of Methane on Activated Meso-carbon Microbeads by Density Functional Theory

A combined method of density functional theory (DFT) and statistics integral equation (SIE) for the determination of the pore size distribution (PSD) is developed based on the experimental adsorption data of nitrogen on activated mesocarbon microbead (AMCMB) at 77K. The pores of AMCMB are described as slit-shaped with PSD.Based on the PSD, methane adsorption and phase behavior are studied by the DFT method. Both nitrogen and methane molecules are modeled as Lennard-Jones spherical molecules, and the well-known Steele‘s 10-4-3 potential is used to represent the interaction between the fluid molecule and the solid wall. In order to test the combined method and the PSD model, the Intelligent Gravimetric Analyzer (IGA-003) was used to measure the adsorption of methane on the AMCMB. The DFT results are in good agreement with the experimental data. Based on these facts,we predict the adsorption amount of methane, which can reach 32.3ω at 299K and 4 MPa. The results indicate that the AMCMBs are a good candidate for adsorptive storage of methane and natural gas. In addition, the capillary condensation and hysteresis phenomenon of methane are also observed at 74.05K.

Argon Adsorption on Cationic Gold Clusters Aun+ (n ≤ 20)

The interaction of Au_n⁺ (n ≤ 20) clusters with Ar is investigated by combining mass spectrometric experiments and density functional theory calculations. We show that the inert Ar atom forms relatively strong bonds with Au_n⁺. The strength of the bond strongly varies with the cluster size and is governed by a fine interplay between geometry and electronic structure. The chemical bond between Au_n⁺ and Ar involves electron transfer from Ar to Au, and a stronger interaction is found when the Au adsorption site has a higher positive partial charge, which depends on the cluster geometry. Au₁₅⁺ is a peculiar cluster size, which stands out for its much stronger interaction with Ar than its neighbors, signaled by a higher abundance in mass spectra and a larger Ar adsorption energy. This is shown to be a consequence of a low-coordinated Au adsorption site in Au₁₅⁺, which possesses a large positive partial charge.

1 INTRODUCTION Cyanide, CN, is an important free-radical mole-cule of one carbon chemistry, organic chemistry, free-radical chemistry and cosmochemistry.

HCN Adsorption on the Fe(100), Fe(111) and Fe(110) Surfaces: a Density Functional Theory Study

Twenty kinds of adsorptions of HCN on the Fe(100), Fe(111) and Fe(110) surfaces at the 1/4 monolayer coverage are found using the density functional theory. For Fe(100), the adsorption energy of the most stable configuration where the HCN locates at the fourfold site with the C-N bonded to four Fe atoms is 1.928 eV. The most favored adsorption structure for HCN on Fe(111) is f-η3(N)-h-η3(C), in which the C-N bond is almost parallel to the surface, and the adsorption energy is 1.347 eV. On Fe(110), the adsorption energy in the most stable configuration in which HCN locates at the two long-bridge sites is 1.777 eV. The adsorption energy of the parallel orientation for HCN is larger than that of the perpendicular configuration. The binding mechanism of HCN on the Fe(100), Fe(111) and Fe(110) surfaces is also analyzed by Mulliken charge population and the density of states in HCN. The result indicates that the configurations in which the adsorbed HCN becomes the non-linear are beneficial to the formation of the addition reaction for hydrogen. The nature that the introduction of Fe into the catalyst could increase the catalytic activity of the bimetallic catalyst in the addition reaction of hydrogen for nitriles is revealed.     

Modeling of Adsorption in Finite Cylindrical Pores by Means of Density Functional Theory

Adsorption of argon at its boiling point in finite cylindrical pores is considered by means of the non-local density functional theory (NLDFT) with a reference to MCM-41 silica. The NLDFT was adjusted to amorphous solids, which allowed us to quantitatively describe argon adsorption isotherm on nonporous reference silica in the entire bulk pressure range. In contrast to the conventional NLDFT technique, application of the model to cylindrical pores does not show any layering before the phase transition in conformity with experimental data. The finite pore is modeled as a cylindrical cavity bounded from its mouth by an infinite flat surface perpendicular to the pore axis. The adsorption of argon in pores of 4 and 5 nm diameters is analyzed in canonical and grand canonical ensembles using a two-dimensional version of NLDFT, which accounts for the radial and longitudinal fluid density distributions. The simulation results did not show any unusual features associated with accounting for the outer surface and support the conclusions obtained from the classical analysis of capillary condensation and evaporation. That is, the spontaneous condensation occurs at the vapor-like spinodal point, which is the upper limit of mechanical stability of the liquid-like film wetting the pore wall, while the evaporation occurs via a mechanism of receding of the semispherical meniscus from the pore mouth and the complete evaporation of the core occurs at the equilibrium transition pressure. Visualization of the pore filling and empting in the form of contour lines is presented.

DFT-D2方法修正使CH₃SH的结果更接近实验结论, 但使CH₃S的结果偏离实验值.     

Density Functional Theory Study of the Adsorption of C2H2 on the Cu/Pt(111) Bimetallic Surfaces

We applied periodic density-functional theory to investigate the adsorption of C2H2 on the Cu/Pt bimetallic and monometallic surfaces, including Cu-Pt-Pt and Pt-Cu-Pt representing the monolayer Cu on the Pt surface and subsurface Cu in the Pt surface, respectively. For the Pt(111) and Pt-Cu-Pt surfaces, C2H2 is preferentially a 3-fold "parallel-bridge" configuration, and a "μ-bridge" structure exists above the Cu(111) and Cu-Pt-Pt surfaces. The adsorption energy of C2H2 on these surfaces decreases in the order Pt(111) > Cu-Pt-Pt > Pt-Cu-Pt > Cu(111). The analysis of density of states, charge, and vibrational frequencies showed obviously weakening of the adsorbed C-C bond and high sp2 character on the carbon atom. Furthermore, when the top-layer compositions are equal, the nearer the EF d-band center is, the larger the C2H2 adsorption energy will be.
