CO和NO在CuO及Cu2O(110)表面吸附选择规律研究

采用离散变分Xα方法分别计算了CO和NO以C（或N）端顶位吸附在CuO（110）及Cu2O（110）表面上的基态势能曲线,结果表明：CO在Cu2O表面上的吸附强,而在CuO表面上的吸附弱;NO则在CuO表面上吸附强,在Cu2O表面上吸附弱．它们的吸附能的大小顺序为：CuO－NO＞Cu2O－CO＞Cu2O－NO＞CuO－CO．对于CuO－NO（或CO）吸附体系,主要是Cu的3d轨道与吸附分子的2π轨道间的相互作用;对于Cu2O－CO（或NO）吸附体系,则主要是吸附质分子的5σ及2π分子轨道与其顶位Cu1的4s及4p轨道和侧位Cu2的3d轨道相互作用．本文通过吸附势能曲线、态密度分析、成键分析及电荷转移量和方向等方面对实验现象做了合理的解释．     

CeO2(110)表面上CO氧化反应的密度泛函理论研究

利用密度泛函理论系统研究了O2与CO在CeO2(110)表面的吸附反应行为. 研究表明, O2在洁净的CeO2(110)表面吸附热力学不利, 而在氧空位表面为强化学吸附, O2分子被活化, 可能是重要的氧化反应物种. CO在洁净的CeO2(110)表面有化学吸附与物理吸附两种构型, 前者形成二齿碳酸盐物种, 后者与表面仅存在弱的相互作用. 在氧空位表面, CO可分子吸附或形成碳酸盐物种, 相应吸附能均较低. 当表面氧空位吸附O2后(O2/Ov), CO可吸附生成碳酸盐或直接生成CO2, 与原位红外光谱结果相一致. 过渡态计算发现,O2/Ov/CeO2(110)表面的三齿碳酸盐物种经两齿、单齿过渡态脱附生成CO2. 利用扩展休克尔分子轨道理论分析了典型吸附构型的电子结构, 说明表面碳酸盐物种三个氧原子电子存在离域作用, 物理吸附的CO及生成的CO2电子结构与相应自由分子相似.

采用第一性原理的密度泛函理论方法计算了清洁Cu(110)表面和吸附O原子的Cu(110) c(2×1)表面的原子结构, 结构弛豫和电子结构, 得到了各种表面结构参数. 分别计算了O原子在Cu(110)表面三个可能吸附位置吸附后的能量, 并给出了能量最低的吸附位置上各层原子的弛豫特性和态密度. 结果表明O吸附后的Cu(110)表面有附加列(added-row)再构的特性, O原子吸附在最表层铜原子上方, 与衬底Cu原子的垂直距离为0.016 nm, 以氧分子为能量基准的吸附能为－1.94 eV; 同时由于Cu 3d- O 2p态的杂化作用使得低于费米能级5.5~6.0 eV的范围内出现了局域的表面态. 计算得到清洁的和氧吸附的Cu(110)表面的功函数分别为4.51 eV和4.68 eV. 电子态密度的结果表明：在Cu(110) c(2×1) 表面O吸附的结构下, 吸附O原子和金属衬底之间的结合主要是由于最表层Cu原子3d态和O原子2p态的相互作用.     

H2S在立方ZrO2(110)面的吸附与解离

采用量子化学的密度泛甬理论方法,探讨了H2S、HS和S在立方ZrO2(110)面上不同吸附位的吸附情况.构型优化的结果表明:在bridge位H2S以垂直底物平面H原子向上、垂直底物平面H原子向下、平行底物平面和hollow位H2S平行底物平面模式吸附在ZrO2(110)面发生解离吸附.SH和S的最佳吸附位分别为桥位和顶位.Mulliken布局和态密度分析显示S原子的p轨道与Zr原子的d轨道发生相互作用.通过计算解离反应的能垒,表明H2S分子在立方ZrO2(110)面发生两步解离.     

氧化铜表面臭氧分解路径及表面氧物种生成机理研究

基于密度泛函理论（DFT）计算研究了O3在完整和具有氧空位的CuO(111)表面吸附的吸附位、吸附结构、吸附能和电子转移情况,比较了O3在完整表面和具有氧空位的表面分解的路径和能垒,分析了氧空位和表面吸附氧的生成机理。结果表明,在完整CuO表面,O3分子通过化学吸附或物理吸附表面结合,吸附能最高为-1.22eV（构型bri(2)）。O3在具有氧空位的CuO表面均为化学吸附,吸附能最高为-2.95eV（构型ovbri(3)）,显著高于完整表面的吸附能。O3吸附后,Cu吸附位的电荷密度减小,O3中的O原子附近的电荷密度显著增强,电荷从CuO表面转移到O3,并形成Cu-O离子键。O3分解后形成了超氧物种,提高了表面的氧化活性。在完整表面,以构型bri(2)为起始构型的路径反应能垒最低,为0.52eV;O2*在完整表面的脱附所需要的最低能量为0.42eV,形成氧空位的O2*脱附能为2.06eV。在具有氧空位的表面,O3分解的反应能垒为0.30eV（构型ovbri(1)）和0.12eV（构型ovbri(3)）,均低于完整表面的反应能垒;分解形成的O2*的最低脱附能也低于完整表面,为0.27eV。可见,氧空位的形成提高了吸附能,降低了反应能垒,使O3分子更容易吸附在CuO表面,并加快了O3的催化分解。

Coadsorption properties of CO(2) and H(2)O on TiO(2) rutile (110): A dispersion-corrected DFT study

Adsorption and reactions of CO(2) in the presence of H(2)O and OH species on the TiO(2) rutile (110)-(1×1) surface were investigated using dispersion-corrected density functional theory and scanning tunneling microscopy. The coadsorbed H(2)O (OH) species slightly increase the CO(2) adsorption energies, primarily through formation of hydrogen bonds, and create new binding configurations that are not present on the anhydrous surface. Proton transfer reactions to CO(2) with formation of bicarbonate and carbonic acid species were investigated and found to have barriers in the range 6.1-12.8 kcal∕mol, with reactions involving participation of two or more water molecules or OH groups having lower barriers than reactions involving a single adsorbed water molecule or OH group. The reactions to form the most stable adsorbed formate and bicarbonate species are exothermic relative to the unreacted adsorbed CO(2) and H(2)O (OH) species, with formation of the bicarbonate species being favored. These results are consistent with single crystal measurements which have identified formation of bicarbonate-type species following coadsorption of CO(2) and water on rutile (110).     

甲醛在CeO2(111)表面吸附的密度泛函理论研究

Adsorption of molecular hydrogen and hydrogen sulfide on Au clusters

The authors present theoretical results describing the adsorption of H2 and H2S molecules on small neutral and cationic gold clusters (Au(n)((0/+1)), n=1-8) using density functional theory with the generalized gradient approximation. Lowest energy structures of the gold clusters along with their isomers are considered in the optimization process for molecular adsorption. The adsorption energies of H2S molecule on the cationic clusters are generally greater than those on the corresponding neutral clusters. These are also greater than the H2 adsorption energies on the corresponding cationic and neutral clusters. The adsorption energies for cationic clusters decrease with increasing cluster size. This fact is reflected in the elongations of the Au-S and Au-H bonds indicating weak adsorption as the cluster grows. In most cases, the geometry of the lowest energy gold cluster remains planar even after the adsorption. In addition, the adsorbed molecule gets adjusted such that its center of mass lies on the plane of the gold cluster. Study of the orbital charge density of the gold adsorbed H2S molecule reveals that conduction is possible through molecular orbitals other than the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital level. The dissociation of the cationic Au(n)SH2+ cluster into Au(n)S+ and H2 is preferred over the dissociation into Au(m)SH2+ and Au(n-m), where n=2-8 and m=1-(n-1). H2S adsorbed clusters with odd number of gold atoms are more stable than neighboring even n clusters.     

A theoretical study of surface reduction mechanisms of CeO(2)(111) and (110) by H(2).

Reaction mechanisms for the interactions between CeO(2)(111) and (110) surfaces are investigated using periodic density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Both standard DFT and DFT+U calculations to examine the effect of the localization of Ce 4f states on the redox chemistry of H(2)-CeO(2) interactions are described. For mechanistic studies, molecular and dissociative local minima are initially located by placing an H(2) molecule at various active sites of the CeO(2) surfaces. The binding energies of physisorbed species optimized using the DFT and DFT+U methods are very weak. The dissociative adsorption reactions producing hydroxylated surfaces are all exothermic; exothermicities at the DFT level range from 4.1 kcal mol(-1) for the (111) to 26.5 kcal mol(-1) for the (110) surface, while those at the DFT+U level are between 65.0 kcal mol(-1) for the (111) and 81.8 kcal mol(-1) for the (110) surface. Predicted vibrational frequencies of adsorbed OH and H(2)O species on the surfaces are in line with available experimental and theoretical results. Potential energy profiles are constructed by connecting molecularly adsorbed and dissociatively adsorbed intermediates on each CeO(2) surface with tight transition states using the nudged elastic band (NEB) method. It is found that the U correction method plays a significant role in energetics, especially for the intermediates of the exit channels and products that are partially reduced. The surface reduction reaction on CeO(2)(110) is energetically much more favorable. Accordingly, oxygen vacancies are more easily formed on the (110) surface than on the (111) surface.     

DFT study on the adsorption and dissociation of hydrogen sulfide on MgO nanotube

The adsorption of a H₂S molecule on the surface of an MgO nanotube was investigated using density functional theory. It was found that H₂S molecule can be associatively adsorbed on the tube surface without any energy barrier or it can be dissociated into –H and –SH species overcoming energy barrier of 4.03–7.77 kcal/mol. The associative adsorption is site selective so that the molecule is oriented in such a way that the sulfur atom was linked to an Mg atom. The HOMO–LUMO energy gap of the tube has slightly changed upon associative adsorption, while they were significantly influenced by dissociation process. Especially, the highest occupied molecular orbital of the tube shifts to higher energies which can facilitate electron emission current from the tube surface. Also, energy gap of the tube dramatically decreased by about 0.93–1.05 eV which influences the electrical conductivity of the tube.     

CO and methanol adsorption on (2 × 1)Pt(110) and ion‐eroded Pt(111) model catalysts

Methanol adsorption on ion‐sputtered Pt(111) surface exhibiting high concentration of vacancy islands and on (2 × 1)Pt(110) single crystal were investigated by means of photoelectron spectroscopy (PES) and thermal desorption spectroscopy. The measurements showed that methanol adsorbed at low temperature on sputtered Pt(111) and on (2 × 1)Pt(110) surfaces decomposed upon heating. The PES data of methanol adsorption were compared to the data of CO adsorbed on the same Pt single crystal surfaces. In the case of the sputtered Pt(111) surface, the dehydrogenation of H_xCO intermediates is followed by the CO bond breakage. On the (2 × 1)Pt(110) surface, carbon monoxide, as product of methanol decomposition, desorbed molecularly without appearance of any traces of atomic carbon. By comparing both platinum surfaces we conclude that methanol decomposition occurs at higher temperature on sputtered Pt(111) than on (2 × 1)Pt(110). Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
