Structures and vibrational frequencies of CO adlayers on Rh(111) surface

The adsorption of carbon monoxide on single-crystal transition metal surfaces has been the subject of numerous studies, because it has served as a model system for the adsorption of small molecules on transition metal surfaces, and its industrial importance is obvious in such areas as catalytic reaction. The bonding of carbon monoxide to rhodium is of special interest since this metal catalyzes the hydrogenation of CO to produce hydrocarbons in both heterogeneous and homogeneous media, and it …

A DFT Study of 2-Bromothiophene Adsorption on the Rh(111) Surface

<正>Adsorption behaviors of 2-bromothiophene on the Rh(111)surface were discussed with DFT.The results revealed that adsorption at the parallel hol site and bridge site was the most stable.After adsorption,bond length of 2-bromothiophene changed significantly.Molecular plane was distorted,and C-H(Br,S)in the molecule was oblique and upswept against the metal surface.Vertical adsorption site was less stable than the plane adsorption site,but there was no distortion for the thiophene ring after adsorption.Aromaticity of 2-bromothiophene was destroyed at the hol and bridge adsorption sites,and the carbon atom in the thiophene ring presented quasi-sp~3 hybridization.After adsorption at the parallel hol,2-bromothiophene obtained 0.86 electrons in total,and Rh(111)surface lost 2.08 electrons in all.     

Structure of thiocyanate adlayers on Rh(111): an in situ STM study

In situ scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) was used to examine the structure of thiocyanate adlayers specifically adsorbed on Rh(111) in solutions of potassium hydroxide and perchloric acid, both containing potassium thiocyanate (KSCN). An atomically flat terrace-step structure was consistently observed on Rh(111) surfaces prepared by the flame-annealing-quenching method. The Rh(111)-(1 × 1) atomic structure was discerned on the atomically flat terrace even in the alkaline solution. High-resolution STM images disclosed two different structures of the SCN⁻ adlayers, () and (2 × 2), in the alkaline and the acidic media, respectively. In each structure, an individual adsorbed SCN⁻ ion appeared as a single spot with a constant corrugation height in STM images, suggesting that SCN⁻ ions adsorbed predominantly with their S-ends at particular bonding sites on Rh(111). The difference in the adlayer structure in the two solutions can be attributed to the interaction between adsorbed SCN⁻ and coadsorbed K⁺ in the alkaline solution, and is different from that between adsorbed SCN⁻ and H⁺ in the acidic solution.

The Dynamic Nature of CO Adlayers on Pt(111) Electrodes

CO adlayers on Pt(111) electrode surfaces are an important electrochemical system and of great relevance to electrocatalysis. The potential‐dependent structure and dynamics of these adlayers are complex and still controversial, especially in the CO pre‐oxidation regime. We here employ in situ high‐speed scanning tunneling microscopy for studying the surface phase behavior in CO‐saturated 0.1 m H₂SO₄ on the millisecond time scale. At potentials near the onset of CO pre‐oxidation local fluctuations in the (2×2)‐CO adlayer are observed, which increase towards more positive potentials. Above 0.20 V (vs. Ag/AgCl), this leads to an adlayer where CO_ad apparently reside on every top site, but still exhibit a (2×2) superstructure modulation. We interpret this observation as a dynamic effect, caused by a small number of highly mobile point defects in the (2×2)‐CO adlayer. As shown by density functional theory calculations, the CO lattice near such defects relaxes into a local (1×1) arrangement, which can rapidly propagate across the surface. This scenario, where a static (2×2) CO_ad sublattice coexists with a highly dynamic sublattice of partially occupied top sites, explains the pronounced CO_ad surface mobility during electrooxidation.

A DFT Study of Thiophene Adsorption on the Rh（111） Surfaces

Thiophene adsorption on the Rh(111) surfaces has been investigated by density functional theory.The results show that the adsorption at the hollow and bridge sites is the most stable.The molecular plane of the thiophene ring is distorted,the C=C bond is stretched to 1.448  and the C-C bond is shortened to 1.390.The C-H bonds tilt 22～42oaway from the surface.The calculated adsorption geometries are in reasonable agreement with population analysis and density of states.The thiophene molecule obtains 0.74 electrons,reflecting the interaction between the lone pair of sulfur and the d-orbitals of metal.The reaction paths and transition states for desulfurization of the molecule have been investigated.The bridge adsorption structure of thiophene leads to a thiol via an activated reaction with an energetic barrier of 0.30 eV.This second step is slightly difficult,and dissociation into a C4H4 fragment and a sulfur atom is possible,with an energetic barrier of 0.40 eV.

Fabrication, characterisation and voltammetric studies of gold amalgam nanoparticle modified electrodes.

The tabrication, characterisation, and electroanalytical application of gold and gold amalgam nanoparticles on glassy carbon electrodes is examined. Once the deposition parameters for gold nanoparticle electrodes were optimised, the analytical utility of the electrodes was examined in CrIII electroanalysis. It was found that gold nanoparticle modified (Au-NM) electrodes possess higher sensitivity than gold macroelectrodes. In addition, gold amalgam nanoparticle modified (AuHg-NM) electrodes were fabricated and characterised. The response of those electrodes was recorded in the presence of important environmental analytes (heavy metal cations). It was found AuHg-NM electrodes demonstrate a unique voltammetric behaviour and can be applied for electroanalysis when enhanced sensitivity is crucial.     

Ordered arrays of semi-crown ligands on an Au(111) electrode surface: in situ STM study

Near Ambient Pressure Adsorption of Nickel Carbonyl Contaminated CO on Cu(111) Surface

Formation of volatile nickel carbonyls with CO in catalytic reaction is one of the mechanisms of catalyst deactivation. CO is one of the most popular probe molecules to study the surface properties in model catalysis. Under ultra-high vacuum (UHV) conditions, the problem of nickel carbonyl impurity almost does not exist in the case that a high purity of CO is used directly. While in the near ambient pressure (NAP) range, nickel carbonyl is easily found on the surface by passing through the Ni containing tubes. Here, the NAP techniques such as NAP-X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and NAP-scanning tunneling microscopy are used to study the adsorption of nickel carbonyl contaminated CO gas on Cu(111) surface in UHV and NAP conditions. By controlling the pressure of contaminated CO, the Ni-Cu bimetallic catalyst can form on Cu(111) surface. Furthermore, we investigate the process of CO adsorption and dissociation on the formed Ni-Cu bi-metal surface, and several high-pressure phases of CO structures are reported. This work contributes to understanding the interaction of nickel carbonyl with Cu(111) at room temperature, and reminds the consideration of CO molecules contaminated by nickel carbonyl especially in the NAP range study.

Mechanistic Insights into Cyclic Voltammograms on Pt(111): Kinetics Simulations

A detailed understanding of the electrochemistry of platinum electrodes is of great importance for the electrochemical oxidation of fuels and electrochemical reduction of dioxygen in fuel cells. The Pt(111) facet is the most representative model mimicking Pt nanoparticles and polycrystals for fundamental studies. Herein, we propose a site-specific model accompanied with the typical elementary steps of the electrochemistry of Pt(111) in non-adsorbing electrolyte within the potential range between 0.05 and 1.15 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode. Simulations were conducted at different scanning rates based on the kinetics models. We reproduce all the anodic and cathodic peaks observed in the reported experimental curves. These results demonstrate the underlying mechanisms of the peak formation in different potential regions.
