Theoretical Study of an almost Barrier-Free Water Dissociation on a Platinum (111) Surface Alloyed with Ruthenium and Molybdenum.

ABSTRACT: A theoretical study based on density functional theory for H₂O dissociation on the metal surface of Pt(111) alloyed simultaneously with Ru and Mo was performed. The determination of the minimum energy path using the climbing image nudged elastic band (CI-NEB) method shows that the dissociation reaction of H₂O with this catalyst requires almost no energy cost. This dissociation reaction is not only kinetically favored but also almost thermodynamically neutral and somewhat exothermic. The electronic structure analysis showed that much more charge was released in Mo and was used to bind the adsorbed hydroxyl (OH_ad). Further analyses of the density of states (DOS) showed that the large number of orbitals that overlap when OH binds to Mo are responsible for the stabilization of the OH-surface bond. The stability of the OH_ad fragment on the surface is believed to be a descriptor for the dissociation of H₂O with an almost spontaneous process.

Accelerating water dissociation kinetics by isolating cobalt atoms into ruthenium lattice.

Project description:Designing highly active and robust platinum-free catalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction is of vital importance for clean energy applications yet challenging. Here we report highly active and stable cobalt-substituted ruthenium nanosheets for hydrogen evolution, in which cobalt atoms are isolated in ruthenium lattice as revealed by aberration-corrected high-resolution transmission electron microscopy and X-ray absorption fine structure measurement. Impressively, the cobalt-substituted ruthenium nanosheets only need an extremely low overpotential of 13?mV to achieve a current density of 10?mA?cm-2 in 1?M KOH media and an ultralow Tafel slope of 29?mV dec-1, which exhibit top-level catalytic activity among all reported platinum-free electrocatalysts. The theoretical calculations reveal that the energy barrier of water dissociation can greatly reduce after single cobalt atom substitution, leading to its superior hydrogen evolution performance. This study provides a new insight into the development of highly efficient platinum-free hydrogen evolution catalysts.

Theoretical Study of the Mechanism of Furfural Conversion on the NiCuCu(111) Surface.

Project description:The full potential energy surface for the hydrodeoxygenation of furfural to furan and other ring-opening products has been systematically investigated using periodic density functional theory including dispersion corrections (PBE-D3) on the bimetallic NiCuCu(111) surface. For furan formation, the most favorable first step is the dehydrogenation of furfural into furoyl (F-CHO + H = F-CO + 2H), the successive step is decarbonylation of furoyl into furanyl (F-CO + H = F + CO + 2H), and the third step of furan formation from the hydrogenation of furanyl (F + CO + 2H = FA + CO + H) is the rate-determining step. In addition, on the basis of the most stably adsorbed furan and H, the ring opening of furan was found to be more favorable for producing many chemicals such as propane, butanal, butanol, and butene. In summary, furan is the main product of furfural conversion on the NiCuCu(111) surface. Since results have been obtained only for the NiCuCu(111) surface constructed by replacing the topmost Cu atoms by Ni atoms, the entire experimentally observed reactivity and selectivity of bimetallic CuNi catalysts for different construction methods cannot be fully rationalized. Nevertheless, the results provide the basis for investigating the intrinsic activity of CuNi catalysts in the hydrodeoxygenation of oxygenates involved in the refining of biomass-derived oils.

Oxygen production from dissociation of Europa's water-ice surface.

Project description:Jupiter's moon Europa has a predominantly water-ice surface that is modified by exposure to its space environment. Charged particles break molecular bonds in surface ice, thus dissociating the water to ultimately produce H2 and O2, which provides a potential oxygenation mechanism for Europa's subsurface ocean. These species are understood to form Europa's primary atmospheric constituents. Although remote observations provide important global constraints on Europa's atmosphere, the molecular O2 abundance has been inferred from atomic O emissions. Europa's atmospheric composition had never been directly sampled and model-derived oxygen production estimates ranged over several orders of magnitude. Here, we report direct observations of H2+ and O2+ pickup ions from the dissociation of Europa's water-ice surface and confirm these species are primary atmospheric constituents. In contrast to expectations, we find the H2 neutral atmosphere is dominated by a non-thermal, escaping population. We find 12 ± 6 kg s-1 (2.2 ± 1.2 × 1026 s-1) O2 are produced within Europa's surface, less than previously thought, with a narrower range to support habitability in Europa's ocean. This process is found to be Europa's dominant exogenic surface erosion mechanism over meteoroid bombardment.

Hydroxylation of Platinum Surface Oxides Induced by Water Vapor.

Project description:With its high stability and well-tuned binding strength for adsorbates, platinum is an excellent catalyst for a wide range of reactions. In applications like car exhaust purification, the oxidation of hydrocarbons, and fuel cells, platinum is exposed to highly oxidizing conditions, which often leads to the formation of surface oxides. To reveal the structure of these surface oxides, the oxidation of Pt in O2 has been widely studied. However, in most applications, H2O is also an important or even dominant part of the reaction mixture. Here, we investigate the interaction of H2O with Pt surface oxides using near-ambient-pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. We find that reversible hydroxylation readily occurs in H2O/O2 mixtures. Using time-resolved measurements, we show that O-OH exchange occurs on a time scale of seconds.

Probing Water Dissociation and Oxygen Replacement on Partially Oxygen-Covered Cu(111) by Reflection Absorption Infrared Spectroscopy.

Project description:The presence of chemisorbed oxygen on the Cu(111) surface is known to strongly reduce the activation barrier for water dissociation as compared to bare Cu(111). Here, we present direct experimental evidence for the hydrogen abstraction mechanism responsible for the facile H2O dissociation on an O/Cu(111) surface using reflection absorption infrared spectroscopy (RAIRS) in combination with isotopically labeled reactants. We also observe that chemisorbed hydroxyl species produced by water dissociation on the O/Cu(111) surface undergo an efficient hydrogen atom transfer from trapped water molecules, leading to the rapid replacement of the initial oxygen isotope coverage and the detection of only a single hydroxyl isotopologue on the surface, in apparent contradiction with the hydrogen abstraction mechanism. In the presence of Cu2O oxide islands on the O/Cu(111) surface, water dissociation occurs selectively at the edges of those islands, leading to the self-assembly of isotopically ordered structures.

Nanozymes based on octahedral platinum nanocrystals with {111} surface facets: glucose oxidase mimicking activity in electrochemical sensors.

Project description:The ability of shape-controlled octahedral Pt nanoparticles to act as nanozyme mimicking glucose oxidase enzyme is reported. Extended {111} particle surface facets coupled with a size comparable to natural enzymes and easy-to-remove citrate coating give high affinity for glucose, comparable to the enzyme as proven by the steady-state kinetics of glucose electrooxidation. The easy and thorough removal of the citrate coating, demonstrated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis, allows a highly stable deposition of the nanozymes on the electrode. The glucose electrochemical detection (at -0.2 V vs SCE) shows a linear response between 0.36 and 17 mM with a limit of detection of 110 μM. A good reproducibility has been achieved, with an average relative standard deviation (RSD) value of 9.1% (n = 3). Similarly, a low intra-sensor variability has been observed, with a RSD of 6.6% (n = 3). Moreover, the sensor shows a long-term stability with reproducible performances for at least 2 months (RSD: 7.8%). Tests in saliva samples show the applicability of Pt nanozymes to commercial systems for non-invasive monitoring of hyperglycemia in saliva, with recoveries ranging from 92 to 98%.

Reduced Acid Dissociation of Amino-Acids at the Surface of Water.

Project description:We use surface-specific intensity vibrational sum-frequency generation and attenuated total reflection spectroscopy to probe the ionization state of the amino-acids l-alanine and l-proline at the air/water surface and in the bulk. The ionization state is determined by probing the vibrational signatures of the carboxylic acid group, representing the nondissociated acid form, and the carboxylate anion group, representing the dissociated form, over a wide range of pH values. We find that the carboxylic acid group deprotonates at a significantly higher pH at the surface than in the bulk.

Water-Assisted Homolytic Dissociation of Propyne on a Reduced Ceria Surface.

Project description:The emergence of ceria (CeO2 ) as an efficient catalyst for the selective hydrogenation of alkynes has attracted great attention. Intensive research effort has been devoted to understanding the underlying catalytic mechanism, in particular the H2 -CeO2 interaction. Herein, we show that the adsorption of propyne (C3 H4 ) on ceria, another key aspect in the hydrogenation of propyne to propene, strongly depends on the degree of reduction of the ceria surface and hydroxylation of the surface, as well as the presence of water. The dissociation of propyne and the formation of methylacetylide (CH3 CC-) have been identified through the combination of infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy (IRAS) and DFT calculations. We demonstrate that propyne undergoes heterolytic dissociation on the reduced ceria surface by forming a methylacetylide ion on the oxygen vacancy site and transferring a proton to the nearby oxygen site (OH group), while a water molecule that competes with the chemisorbed methylacetylide at the vacancy site assists the homolytic dissociation pathway by rebounding the methylacetylide to the nearby oxygen site.

Water dispersible surface-functionalized platinum/carbon nanorattles for size-selective catalysis.

Project description:Selective dealloying of metal nanoparticles results in rattle-type hollow carbon nanoshells enclosing platinum nanoparticles, which are able to perform size-selective catalysis. Selective functionalization of the outer graphene-like carbon surface prevents agglomeration and leads to well dispersible nanocatalysts in aqueous solutions. The synthesis starts with the production of nanoparticles with a cobalt-platinum-alloy core surrounded by graphene-like carbon via reducing flame spray synthesis. After surface functionalization, simultaneous pore formation in the shell-wall and dissolution of the cobalt results in platinum encapsulated in hollow carbon nanospheres. Catalytic oxidation of differently sized sugars (glucose and maltoheptaose) reveales size-selective catalytic properties of these platinum nanorattles.

Reverse water gas-shift reaction product driven dynamic activation of molybdenum nitride catalyst surface.

Project description:In heterogeneous catalysis catalyst activation is often observed during the reaction process, which is mostly attributed to the induction by reactants. In this work we report that surface structure of molybdenum nitride (MoNx) catalyst exhibits a high dependency on the partial pressure or concentration of reaction products i.e., CO and H2O in reverse water gas-shift reaction (RWGS) (CO2:H2 = 1:3) but not reactants of CO2 and H2. Molybdenum oxide (MoOx) overlayers formed by oxidation with H2O are observed at reaction pressure below 10 mbar or with low partial pressure of CO/H2O products, while CO-induced surface carbonization happens at reaction pressure above 100 mbar and with high partial pressure of CO/H2O products. The reaction products induce restructuring of MoNx surface into more active molybdenum carbide (MoCx) to increase the reaction rate and make for higher partial pressure CO, which in turn promote further surface carbonization of MoNx. We refer to this as the positive feedback between catalytic activity and catalyst activation in RWGS, which should be widely present in heterogeneous catalysis.
