Theoretical Study on the Adsorption and Decomposition of Methanol over the Pt-Mo（111）/C Surface

The density functional theory(DFT) and self-consistent periodic calculation were used to investigate the methanol adsorption on the Pt-Mo(111)/C surface.The adsorption energies,equilibrium geometries and vibration frequencies of CH3OH on nine types of sites on the Pt-Mo(111)/C surface were predicted and the favorite adsorption site for methanol is the top-Pt site.Both sites of valence and conduction bands of doped system have been broadened,which are favorable for electrons to transfer to the cavity.The possible decomposition pathway was investigated with transition state searching and the calculation results indicate that the O-H bond is first broken,and then the methanol decomposes into methoxy.The activation barrier of O-H bond breaking with Pt-Mo catalyst is only 104.8 kJ mol-1,showing that carbon supported Pt-Mo alloys have promoted the decomposition of methanol.Comparing with the adsorption energies of CH3OH on the Pt(111)/C surface and that of CO,the adsorption energies of CO are higher,and Pt(111)/C is liable to be oxidized and loses the activity,which suggests that the catalyst Pt-Mo(111)/C is in favor of decomposing methanol and has better anti-poisoning ability than Pt(111)/C.     

MECHANISM OF METHANOL DECOMPOSITION ON CLEAN AND OXYGEN-MODIFIED Fe,Cu SURFACES:BOND-ORDER CONSERVATION APPROACH

Bond-order conservation-Morse potential (BOC-MP) approach hasbeen used to study the mechanism of methanol decomposition on the clean andoxygen-modified Fe(100), Cu (100) surfaces. On the clean Cu (100) surfacemethanol was adsorbed in molecular forms and desorbed without dissociation,but on the clean Fe(100) surface it decomposed via a methoxy (CH_3O) inter-mediate into carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen (H_2) mainly, or into methyl(CH_3) and hydroxyl (OH) species directly. The thermal stability of methoxyincreased in the presence of pre-adsorbed oxygen(O_3). Hollow site O_3 poisonedthe decomposition of methanol, but non-hollow site O_3 promoted the decomposi-tion of methanol into the methoxy, which decomposed and selectively led to theformation of formaldehyde (H_2CO) on oxygen-modified Cu surfaces. The for-mation of formaldehyde via a disproportionation reaction of methoxy is also dis-cussed.     

DECOMPOSITION OF METHANOL ON METAL SURFACES:BOND-ORDER CONSERVATION APPROACH

Bond-Order Conservation-Morse Potential(BOC-MP)approach hasbeen used to study the decomposition of methanol(CH_3OH)onFe(111),Pd(111),Pt(111)and Cu(111)surfaces.The result shows:The scission of O-H,C-O bond in methanol occurs on Fe,but O-H bond is activated on Cu,andO-H,C-O bonds are activated on Pd,Pt.O-H bond is broken into methoxy(CH_3O_s),up to the final product(CO).C-O bond is broken into(CH_(2.)+H_2O_3),then leads to the formation of hydrogenated species CH_(3.2),CH_(4.8)on Ptand Pal,while broken into either(CH_(2,s)+H_2O_s)or(CH_(3,s)+OH_s)on Fe.The selectivity of methanol decomposition and the thermal stability of methoxyincrease in the order of Fe相似文献   

Why is metallic Pt the best catalyst for methoxy decomposition?

The decomposition of methoxy on Cu(111), Ag(111), Au(111), Ni(111), Pt(111), Pd(111), and Rh(111) has been studied in detail by the density functional theory calculations. The calculated activation barriers were successfully correlated with the coupling matrix element V 2 ad and the d-band center (ε d ) for the group IB metals and group VIII metals, respectively. By comparison of the activation energy barriers of the methoxy decomposition on different metals, it was found that Pt is the best catalyst for methoxy decomposition. The possible reason why the metallic Pt is the best catalyst has been analyzed from both the energetic data and the electronic structure information, that is, methoxy decomposition on Pt(111) has the largest exothermic behavior due to the closest p-band center of the CH 3 O among all metals after the adsorption.     

Theoretical Study on Adsorption and Diffusion of N Atoms on Cu Low-index Surface

The adsorption and diffusion of N atoms on the three low-index Cu planes were studied using 5-parameter Morse potential (5-MP) method, and the best theory-experiment agreement was obtained. N atoms of Cu(100) surface sit on the fourfold hollow site with the vertical height of 0.018 nm closely coplanar with the topmost copper layer, and the four Cu-N bond lengths are 0.182 nm and the fifth Cu-N distance is 0.199 nm. For Cu(111) system, the existence of aberrant Cu(100) reconstructed structure is approved at higher coverage, and at low coverage the structure is almost an ideal Cu(111) surface structure. With respect to Cu(110) system, the N atoms are adsorbed at LB and H3 sites, not at SB site. The diffusion passage and diffusion barrier of adsorbed N atoms were also studied.     

Adsorption and Dissociation of Methanol on Pd(111), Pd/Au(111) and Pd/Rh(111) Surfaces

The adsorption and dissociation behaviors of methanol on Pd(111), Pd/Au(111) and Pd/Rh(111) surfaces were studied using a periodical slab model and the PW91 generalized gradient approximation(GGA) within the framework of first-principles calculations based on density functional theory(DFT). The adsorption energy and geometric parameters for the three surfaces showed that methanol is preferentially adsorbed onto the top-Pd sites and that the adsorption energy of methanol on these surfaces decreases in the order Pd/Au(111) Pd/Rh(111) Pd(111). After adsorption, the C–O, C–H and O–H bonds in methanol adsorbed onto these surfaces are elongated and the vibrational stretching frequency of the O–H bond is obviously redshifted. Furthermore, the first step for the possible dissociation pathway for methanol on these surfaces was calculated. Our results indicate that the O–H bond in methanol decomposes producing methoxy and a hydrogen atom, with the Pd/Au(111) surface exhibiting the smallest dissociation barrier.     

Theoretical Study on the Adsorption and Hydrogenation Mechanism of 2-Methylthiophene over the Pt(111) Catalyst

The adsorption process and hydrogenation mechanisms of 2-methylthiophene on the Pt(111) surface have been elucidated using density functional theory(DFT). The optimal adsorption sites of reactants, intermediates, and products as well as the activation energy and reaction energy of each elementary reactions were investigated. The results turned out that the 2-methylthiophene tilt to the Pt(111) catalyst with the C_1–C_2 double bond at the top site was the most stable. During the hydrogenation process, the heat of reaction almost located at the negative side, so dropping the temperature is good for the occurrence of hydrogenation process. The hydrogenation steps of mechanism take place along C_2→C_3→C_1→C_4→S→C_1 to generate the product of pentane-2-thiol, in which the first step with the highest energy barrier is the rate-determining step.     

Density Functional Theory Study on the Adsorption of HCNH and CNH2 on Cu（100） Surface

The HCNH and CNH2 adsorption on different coordination sites of Cu（100） was theoretically studied considering the cluster approach. The present calculations show that the bridge site is the most favorite for CNH2 perpendicularly adsorbed on the Cu（100） surface via the C atom. For HCNH absorbed on the Cu（100） surface, the parallel adsorption mode with the C and N atoms nearly directly above the adjacent top sites of Cu（100） surface is the most favored. Both CNH2 and HCNH are strongly bound to the Cu（100） surface with CNH2 which is lightly stable （2.51 kJ·mol^-1）, indicating that both species may be co-adsorbed on the Cu（100） surface.     

Theoretical Study of N_2O Adsorption and Decomposition on the InN （0001） Surface

The adsorption and decomposition of N2O on the InN (0001) surface have been explored employing density functional theory method. To study the most favorable N2O adsorption model, ten typical adsorption cases (four for the parallel style and six for the vertical style) were proposed. The calculated results indicate that the parallel models are energetically preferred over the vertical models. The parallelly adsorbed N2O prefers to be dissociated on the surface, the dissociated O atom is combined at the fcc site, and the N-N piece is desorbed from the surface and forms N2 molecules. The comparison of the density of states of InN (0001) surface before and after N2O adsorption is analyzed in detail. Through the searching for transition state of decomposition reaction, a very low energy barrier of 45.0 KJ/mol is derived.     

Density Functional Theory Study of C2Hx（x=4～6） Adsorption on the Fe（110） Surface

The density functional theory(DFT) and self-consistent periodic calculation were used to investigate the C2Hx(x = 4～6) species adsorption on the Fe(110) surface. The adsorption energy and equilibrium geometry of the species C2Hx(x = 4～6) on four possible sites(top,hcp,SB and LB) on the Fe(110) surface were predicted and compared. Mulliken charges and density of states analysis of the most stable site have been discussed. It is found that the species of C2H6 and C2H5 are adsorbed strongly on the Fe(110) surface with calculated adsorption energy of -80.24 and -178.89 kJ·mol-1 at the Fe-LB(long-bridge) ,respectively. However,the C2H4 is adsorbed strongly on the Fe(110) surface with calculated adsorption energies of -114.96 kJ·mol-1 at the top. The results indicate that the charge transferring process can be completed by chemisorption between Fe(110) surface and the species. Moreover,the chemical bands can be formed by chemisorptions between the Fe(110) surface and the species,too.

CO和H2分子在Cu(111)面的吸附和溶剂化效应

采用广义梯度近似(GGA)密度泛函理论(DFT)的PW91方法结合周期性模型, 在DNP基组下, 利用Dmol3模块研究了CO和H2在真空和液体石蜡环境下在Cu(111)表面上不同位置的吸附. 计算结果表明, 溶剂化效应对H2和CO的吸附结构参数和吸附能的影响非常显著. 在液体石蜡环境下, H2平行吸附在Cu(111)表面是解离吸附, 而CO 和H2在两种环境下的垂直吸附都是非解离吸附. 相比真空环境吸附, 在液体石蜡环境中, Cu(111)吸附CO时, 溶剂化效应能够提高CO吸附的稳定性, 同时有利于CO的活化. 在真空中, H2只能以垂直方式或接近垂直方式吸附在Cu(111)表面. 当Cu(111)顶位垂直吸附H2, 相比真空环境吸附, 溶剂化效应能够提高H2吸附的稳定性, 但对H2的活化没有明显影响. Cu(111)表面的桥位或三重穴位(hcp和fcc)垂直吸附H2时, 溶剂化效应能明显提高H2的活化程度, 但降低H2的吸附稳定性; 在液体石蜡中, 当H2平行Cu(111)表面吸附时, 溶剂化效应使H—H键断裂, 一个H原子吸附在fcc位, 另一个吸附在hcp位.

Observation of a methoxy species on Ni(111) by high-resolution electron energy-loss spectroscopy

The chemisorption and decomposition of methanol on Ni(111) has been studied by high-resolution electron energy-loss spectroscopy. We isolate and identify a methoxy species (CH₃O) which forms as a quasi-stable surface intermediate during the thermal decomposition of chemisorbed methanol. The methoxy species is bonded with the oxygen end nearest to the surface and the methyl group inclined at an oblique angle to the surface.     

Methanol adsorption on the beta-Ga2O3 surface with oxygen vacancies: theoretical and experimental approach

Methanol adsorption on beta-Ga2O3 surface has been studied by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and by means of density functional theory (DFT) cluster model calculations. Adsorption sites of tetrahedral and octahedral gallium ions with different numbers of oxygen vacancies have been compared. The electronic properties of the adsorbed molecules have been monitored by computing adsorption energies, optimized geometry parameters, overlap populations, atomic charges, and vibrational frequencies. The gallia-methanol interaction has different behaviors according to the local surface chemical composition. The calculations show that methanol can react in three different ways with the gallia surface giving rise to a nondissociative adsorption, a dissociative adsorption, and an oxidative decomposition. The surface without oxygen vacancies is very reactive and produces the methanol molecule decomposition. The molecule is nondissociatively adsorbed by means of a hydrogen bond between the alcoholic hydrogen atom and a surface oxygen atom and a bond between the alcoholic oxygen atom and a surface gallium atom. Two neighbor oxygen vacancies on tetrahedral gallium sites produce the dissociation of the methanol molecule and the formation of a bridge bond between two surface gallium atoms and the methoxy group.
