Abstract: | An important task for theory is the multi-scale modeling of catalytic properties of nanocrystallites with sizes ranging from clusters of few metal atoms to particles consisting of 103–104 atoms. To explore catalytic properties of nanosized metal catalysts, we developed an approach based on three-dimensional symmetric model clusters of 1–2 nm (~100 metal atoms) with fcc structure, terminated by low-index surfaces. With this modeling technique one is able to describe at an accurate DFT level various catalytic and adsorption properties of metal nanoparticles in quantitative agreement with experimental studies of model catalysts deposited on thin oxide films. Metal nanocrystallites exhibit properties that can significantly vary with their size and shape. |
