Catalytic Reaction Mechanism of NO-CO on the ZrO2 (110) and (111) Surfaces.

ABSTRACT: Due to the large population of vehicles, significant amounts of carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and unburned hydrocarbons (HC) are emitted into the atmosphere, causing serious pollution to the environment. The use of catalysis prevents the exhaust from entering the atmosphere. To better understand the catalytic mechanism, it is necessary to establish a detailed chemical reaction mechanism. In this study, the adsorption behaviors of CO and NO, the reaction of NO reduction with CO on the ZrO2 (110) and (111) surfaces was performed through periodic density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The detailed mechanism for CO2 and N2 formation mainly involved two intermediates N2O complexes and NCO species. Moreover, the existence of oxygen vacancies was crucial for NO reduction reactions. From the calculated energy, it was found that the pathway involving NCO intermediate interaction occurring on the ZrO2 (110) surface was most favorable. Gas phase N2O formation and dissociation were also considered in this study. The results indicated the role of reaction intermediates NCO and N2O in catalytic reactions, which could solve the key scientific problems and disputes existing in the current experiments.

Dynamics of Ultrathin Vanadium Oxide Layers on Rh(111) and Rh(110) Surfaces During Catalytic Reactions.

Project description:Over the past 35 years rate oscillations and chemical wave patterns have been extensively studied on metal surfaces, while little is known about the dynamics of catalytic oxide surfaces under reaction conditions. Here we report on the behavior of ultrathin V oxide layers epitaxially grown on Rh(111) and Rh(110) single crystal surfaces during catalytic methanol oxidation. We use photoemission electron microscopy and low-energy electron microscopy to study the surface dynamics in the 10-6 to 10-2 mbar range. On VO x /Rh(111) we find a ripening mechanism in which VO x islands of macroscopic size move toward each other and coalesce under reaction conditions. A polymerization/depolymerization mechanism of VO x that is sensitive to gradients in the oxygen coverage explains this behavior. The existence of a substructure in VO x islands gives rise to an instability, in which a VO x island shrinks and expands around a critical radius in an oscillatory manner. At 10-2 mbar the VO x islands are no longer stable but they disintegrate, leading to turbulent redistribution dynamics of VO x . On the more open and thermodynamically less stable Rh(110) surface the behavior of VO x is much more complex than on Rh(111), as V can also populate subsurface sites. At low V coverage, one finds traveling interface pulses in the bistable range. A state-dependent anisotropy of the surface is presumably responsible for intriguing chemical wave patterns: wave fragments traveling along certain crystallographic directions, and coexisting different front geometries in the range of dynamic bistability. Annealing to 1000 K causes the formation of macroscopic VO x islands. Under more reducing conditions dendritic growth of a VO x overlayer is observed.

Mechanism Investigations on Water Gas Shift Reaction over Cu(111), Cu(100), and Cu(211) Surfaces.

Project description:Cu-based catalysts are commonly applied in low-temperature water gas shift (WGS) reactions, owing to their low cost and high catalytic activity. The influence of different Cu surfaces on catalytic activity and mechanism over the WGS reaction remains unclear. In this work, the effect of different structures of surfaces on the WGS mechanism is studied using density functional theory (DFT). Three surface terminations (Cu(100), Cu(111), and Cu(211)) of Cu are considered, and the coordination number (CN) of the active Cu site is in the range from 7 to 9. The most stable surface is Cu(211). Then, d-band center values are calculated, which decrease in the following sequence: Cu(211) > Cu(100) > Cu(111). This shows that d-band center values decrease with increasing coordination number. The increase in the centers of the d-band leads to an increase in the adsorption strength of CO and H2O adsorbates, which is in line with the theory of the d-band center. In addition, the further calculated mechanism for WGS reaction over three different Cu surfaces illustrates that the carboxyl path is the most favorable mechanism, and the rate-determining step is H2O dissociation. Cu(211) shows excellent WGS catalytic performance, better than the Cu(100) and Cu(111) surfaces. This work provides theoretical insights into the rational design of highly active Cu-based catalysts toward WGS reaction.

Alloying and Structure of Ultrathin Gallium Films on the (111) and (110) Surfaces of Palladium.

Project description:Growth, thermal stability, and structure of ultrathin gallium films on Pd(111) and Pd(110) are investigated by low-energy ion scattering and low-energy electron diffraction. Common to both surface orientations are growth of disordered Ga films at coverages of a few monolayers (T = 150 K), onset of alloy formation at low temperatures (T ≈ 200 K), and formation of a metastable, mostly disordered 1:1 surface alloy at temperatures around 400-500 K. At higher temperatures a Ga surface fraction of ∼0.3 is slightly stabilized on Pd(111), which we suggest to be related to the formation of Pd2Ga bulk-like films. While on Pd(110) only a Pd-up/Ga-down buckled surface was observed, an inversion of buckling was observed on Pd(111) upon heating. Similarities and differences to the related Zn/Pd system are discussed.

Selective Oxidation of Propylene on Cu2O(111) and Cu2O(110) Surfaces: A Systematically DFT Study.

Project description:Density functional theory calculations with a Hubbard U correction were used to investigate the selective oxidation of propylene on Cu2O(111) and Cu2O(110) surfaces, and the mechanism for the selective oxidation of propylene was discussed. On both surfaces, acrolein can be generated by two H-stripping reactions in the allylic hydrogen stripping path, while propylene oxide (PO), propanal, and acetone can be created through the propylene oxametallacycle intermediates in the epoxidation path. Our calculation results indicated that Cu2O has a high crystal plane-controlled phenomenon for the selective oxidation of propylene. It was found that the formations of propanal and acetone are unfavorable kinetically and acrolein is the main product on the (111) surface. On the (110) surface, the activation barrier of acrolein formation is too high to produce and PO becomes the favored product, which is different from the case of the (111) surface. Moreover, energetic span model analysis was carried out to discuss the selective oxidation of propylene on these two surfaces and confirm the above calculations. The present study can help people to design the proper crystal plane catalyst to get the target product of PO with high selectivity and activity in the selective oxidation of propylene.

Dehydrohalogenation Condensation Reaction of Phenylhydrazine with Cl-Terminated Si(111) Surfaces.

Project description:Formation of stable organic-inorganic contacts with silicon often requires oxygen- and carbon-free interfaces. Some of the general approaches to create such interfaces rely on the formation of a Si-N bond. A reaction of dehydrohalogenation condensation of Cl-terminated Si(111) surface with phenylhydrazine is investigated as a means to introduce a simple function to the surface using a -NH-NH2 moiety as opposed to previously investigated approaches. The use of substituted hydrazine allows for the formation of a stable structure that is less strained compared to the previously investigated primary amines and leads to minimal surface oxidation. The process is confirmed by a combination of infrared studies, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry investigations. Density functional theory is utilized to yield a plausible surface reaction mechanism and provide a set of experimental observables to compare with these data.

Competing ternary surface reaction CO + O2 + H2 on Ir(111).

Project description:The CO oxidation on platinum-group metals under ultra-high-vacuum conditions is one of the most studied surface reactions. However, the presence of disturbing species and competing reactions are often neglected. One of the most interesting additional gases to be treated is hydrogen, due to its importance in technical applications and its inevitability under vacuum conditions. Adding hydrogen to the reaction of CO and O2 leads to more adsorbed species and competing reaction steps towards water formation. In this study, a model for approaching the competing surface reactions CO+O 2 + H2 is presented and discussed. Using the framework of bifurcation theory, we show how the steady states of the extended system correspond to a swallowtail catastrophe set with a tristable regime within the swallowtail. We explore numerically the possibility of reaching all stable states and illustrate the experimental challenges such a system could pose. Lastly, an approximative first-principle approach to diffusion illustrates how up to three stable states balance each other while forming heterogeneous patterns.

Hydrogen-induced change in core structures of {110}[111] edge and {110}[111] screw dislocations in iron.

Project description:Employing the empirical embedded-atom method potentials, the evolution of edge and screw dislocation core structure is calculated at different hydrogen concentrations. With hydrogen, the core energy and Peierls potential are reduced for all dislocations. A broaden-core and a quasi-split core structure are observed for edge and screw dislocation respectively. The screw dislocation and hydrogen interaction in body-centred cubic iron is found to be not mainly due to the change of elastic modulus, but the variation of dislocation core structure.

The Effect of the ZrO2 Loading in SiO2@ZrO2-CaO Catalysts for Transesterification Reaction.

Project description:The effect of the ZrO2 loading was studied on spherical SiO2@ZrO2-CaO structures synthetized by a simple route that combines the Stöber and sol-gel methods. The texture of these materials was determined using SBET by N2 adsorption, where the increment in SiO2 spheres' surface areas was reached with the incorporation of ZrO2. Combined the characterization techniques of using different alcoholic dissolutions of zirconium (VI) butoxide 0.04 M, 0.06 M, and 0.08 M, we obtained SiO2@ZrO2 materials with 5.7, 20.2, and 25.2 wt % of Zr. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis also uncovered the shape and reproducibility of the SiO2 spheres. The presence of Zr and Ca in the core-shell was also determined by TEM. X-ray diffraction (XRD) profiles showed that the c-ZrO2 phase changed in to m-ZrO2 by incorporating calcium, which was confirmed by Raman spectroscopy. The purity of the SiO2 spheres, as well as the presence of Zr and Ca in the core-shell, was assessed by the Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) method. CO2 temperature programmed desorption (TPD-CO2) measurements confirmed the increment in the amount of the basic sites and strength of these basic sites due to calcium incorporation. The catalyst reuse in FAME production from canola oil transesterification allowed confirmation that these calcium core@shell catalysts turn out to be actives and stables for this reaction.

DFT + U Study of the Adsorption and Dissociation of Water on Clean, Defective, and Oxygen-Covered U3Si2{001}, {110}, and {111} Surfaces.

Project description:The interfacial interaction of U3Si2 with water leads to corrosion of nuclear fuels, which affects various processes in the nuclear fuel cycle. However, the mechanism and molecular-level insights into the early oxidation process of U3Si2 surfaces in the presence of water and oxygen are not fully understood. In this work, we present Hubbard-corrected density functional theory (DFT + U) calculations of the adsorption behavior of water on the low Miller indices of the pristine and defective surfaces as well as water dissociation and accompanied H2 formation mechanisms. The adsorption strength decreases in the order U3Si2{001} > U3Si2{110} > U3Si2{111} for both molecular and dissociative H2O adsorption. Consistent with the superior reactivity, dissociative water adsorption is most stable. We also explored the adsorption of H2O on the oxygen-covered U3Si2 surface and showed that the preadsorbed oxygen could activate the OH bond and speed up the dissociation of H2O. Generally, we found that during adsorption on the oxygen-covered, defective surface, multiple water molecules are thermodynamically more stable on the surface than the water monomer on the pristine surface. Mixed molecular and dissociative water adsorption modes are also noted to be stable on the {111} surface, whereas fully dissociative water adsorption is most stable on the {110} and {001} surfaces.

High mobility conduction at (110) and (111) LaAlO3/SrTiO3 interfaces.

Project description:In recent years, striking discoveries have revealed that two-dimensional electron liquids (2DEL) confined at the interface between oxide band-insulators can be engineered to display a high mobility transport. The recognition that only few interfaces appear to suit hosting 2DEL is intriguing and challenges the understanding of these emerging properties not existing in bulk. Indeed, only the neutral TiO(2) surface of (001)SrTiO(3) has been shown to sustain 2DEL. We show that this restriction can be surpassed: (110) and (111) surfaces of SrTiO(3) interfaced with epitaxial LaAlO(3) layers, above a critical thickness, display 2DEL transport with mobilities similar to those of (001)SrTiO(3). Moreover we show that epitaxial interfaces are not a prerequisite: conducting (110) interfaces with amorphous LaAlO(3) and other oxides can also be prepared. These findings open a new perspective both for materials research and for elucidating the ultimate microscopic mechanism of carrier doping.
