Adsorption of SF6 decomposed gas on anatase (101) and (001) surfaces with oxygen defect: a density functional theory study.

ABSTRACT: The detection of partial discharge by analyzing the components of SF6 gas in gas-insulated switchgears is important to the diagnosis and assessment of the operational state of power equipment. A gas sensor based on anatase TiO2 is used to detect decomposed gases in SF6. In this paper, first-principle density functional theory calculations are adopted to analyze the adsorption of SO2, SOF2, and SO2F2, the primary decomposition by-products of SF6 under partial discharge, on anatase (101) and (001) surfaces. Simulation results show that the perfect anatase (001) surface has a stronger interaction with the three gases than that of anatase (101), and both surfaces are more sensitive and selective to SO2 than to SOF2 and SO2F2. The selection of a defect surface to SO2, SOF2, and SO2F2 differs from that of a perfect surface. This theoretical result is corroborated by the sensing experiment using a TiO2 nanotube array (TNTA) gas sensor. The calculated values are analyzed to explain the results of the Pt-doped TNTA gas sensor sensing experiment. The results imply that the deposited Pt nanoparticles on the surface increase the active sites of the surface and the gas molecules may decompose upon adsorption on the active sites.

Adsorption and Desulfurization Mechanism of Thiophene on Layered FeS(001), (011), and (111) Surfaces: A Dispersion-Corrected Density Functional Theory Study.

Project description:Layered transition-metal chalcogenides have emerged as a fascinating new class of materials for catalysis. Here, we present periodic density functional theory (DFT) calculations of the adsorption of thiophene and the direct desulfurization reaction pathways on the (001), (011), and (111) surfaces of layered FeS. The fundamental aspects of the thiophene adsorption, including the initial adsorption geometries, adsorption energies, structural parameters, and electronic properties, are presented. From the calculated adsorption energies, we show that the flat adsorption geometries, wherein the thiophene molecule forms multiple ?-bonds with the FeS surfaces, are energetically more favorable than the upright adsorption geometries, with the strength of adsorption decreasing in the order FeS(111) > FeS(011) > FeS(001). The adsorption of the thiophene onto the reactive (011) and (111) surfaces is shown to be characterized by charge transfer from the interacting Fe d-band to the ?-system of the thiophene molecule, which causes changes of the intramolecular structure including loss of aromaticity and elongation of the C-S bonds. The thermodynamic and kinetic analysis of the elementary steps involved in the direct desulfurization of thiophene on the reactive FeS surfaces is also presented. Direct desulfurization of thiophene occurs preferentially on the (111) surface, as reflected by the overall exothermic reaction energy calculated for the process (ER = -0.15 eV), with an activation energy of 1.58 eV.

Comparison of H2O Adsorption and Dissociation Behaviors on Rutile (110) and Anatase (101) Surfaces Based on ReaxFF Molecular Dynamics Simulation.

Project description:The relationship between structure and reactivity plays a dominant role in water dissociation on the various TiO2 crystallines. To observe the adsorption and dissociation behavior of H2O, the reaction force field (ReaxFF) is used to investigate the dynamic behavior of H2O on rutile (110) and anatase (101) surfaces in an aqueous environment. Simulation results show that there is a direct proton transfer between the adsorbed H2O (H2Oad) and the bridging oxygen (Obr) on the rutile (110) surface. Compared with that on the rutile (110) surface, an indirect proton transfer occurs on the anatase (101) surface along the H-bond network from the second layer of water. This different mechanism of water dissociation is determined by the distance between the 5-fold coordinated Ti (Ti5c) and Obr of the rutile and anatase TiO2 surfaces, resulting in the direct or indirect proton transfer. Additionally, the hydrogen bond (H-bond) network plays a crucial role in the adsorption and dissociation of H2O on the TiO2 surface. To describe interfacial water structures between TiO2 and bulk water, the double-layer model is proposed. The first layer is the dissociated H2O on the rutile (110) and anatase (101) surfaces. The second layer forms an ordered water structure adsorbed to the surface Obr or terminal OH group through strong hydrogen bonding (H-bonding). Affected by the H-bond network, the H2O dissociation on the rutile (110) surface is inhibited but that on the anatase (101) surface is promoted.

Enhanced Photocatalysis from Truncated Octahedral Bipyramids of Anatase TiO2 with Exposed {001}/{101} Facets.

Project description:In this study, we develop a new synthetic method to grow anatase TiO2 crystals composed of truncated octahedral bipyramids (TOBs) with exposed {001} and {101} facets by a vapor-solid reaction growth (VSRG) method. The VSRG method employs TiCl4(g) to react with CaO(s)/Ca(OH)2(s) at 823-1043 K under atmospheric pressure. The O-deficient pale-blue TOB TiO2 crystals display high amount of both {001} and {101} facets. Together, they decompose methylene blue photocatalytically under UV-visible (UV-vis) light irradiation. The most-efficient TOB catalyst VT923 (grown at 923 K, average edge length 400 nm, average thickness 200 nm, and surface area 4.20 m2/g) shows a degradation rate constant k, 0.0527 min-1. This is close to that of the P25 standard 0.0577 min-1. However, the surface area of P25 (46.8 m2/g) is about 12 times that of VT923. The extraordinary performance of VT923 is attributed to the presence of high amount of coexisting {001} and {101} facets to form effective surface heterojunctions. They would separate photogenerated electrons and holes effectively on {101} and {001} surfaces, respectively. For VT923, the {001}/{101} ratio is 0.764, which is close to 1, the highest value observed for all TOB samples grown in this study. The surface heterojunctions prolong the electron-hole separation so that VT923 demonstrates the excellent photocatalytic capability. In addition, residual Cl atoms on the exposed faces are easily removed to show clean TiO surface layers with sufficient amount of O-deficient sites in the current samples.

True Photoreactivity Origin of Ti3+-Doped Anatase TiO2 Crystals with Respectively Dominated Exposed {001}, {101}, and {100} Facets.

Project description:Combining the advantages of reactive crystal facets and engineering defects is an encouraging way to address the inherent disadvantages of titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanocrystals. However, revealing the true photoreactivity origin for defective TiO2 with coexposed or predominant exposed anisotropic facets is still highly challenging. Here, the photoreactivity of TiO2 nanocrystals with respectively predominant exposed {001}, {101}, and {100} facets before and after Ti3+ doping under both ultraviolet and visible light was compared systematically. In detail, the photocatalytic H2 production for R-TiO2-001, R-TiO2-101, and R-TiO2-100 increased by a factor of 1.34, 2.65, and 3.39 under UV light and a factor of 8.90, 13.47, and 8.72 under visible light. By contrast, the photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange for R-TiO2-001, R-TiO2-101, and R-TiO2-100 increased by a factor of 3.18, 1.42, and 2.17 under UV light and a factor of 4.03, 2.85, and 1.58 under visible light, respectively. The true photocatalytic activity origin for the obtained photoreduction and photo-oxidation ability is attributed to the exposure of more active sites (under-coordinated 5-fold Ti atoms), the facilitated charge transfer among {001}, {101}, and {100} facets, and the Ti3+ energy state with variable doping levels to extend the visible light response. This work hopefully provides significant insights into the photoreactivity origin of defective TiO2 nanocrystals with anisotropic exposed facets.

Ferroelectric triggering of carbon monoxide adsorption on lead zirco-titanate (001) surfaces.

Project description:Atomically clean lead zirco-titanate PbZr0.2Ti0.8O3 (001) layers exhibit a polarization oriented inwards P(-), visible by a band bending of all core levels towards lower binding energies, whereas as introduced layers exhibit P(+) polarization under air or in ultrahigh vacuum. The magnitude of the inwards polarization decreases when the temperature is increased at 700?K. CO adsorption on P(-) polarized surfaces saturates at about one quarter of a monolayer of carbon, and occurs in both molecular (oxidized) and dissociated (reduced) states of carbon, with a large majority of reduced state. The sticking of CO on the surface in ultrahigh vacuum is found to be directly related to the P(-) polarization state of the surface. A simple electrostatic mechanism is proposed to explain these dissociation processes and the sticking of carbon on P(-) polarized areas. Carbon desorbs also when the surface is irradiated with soft X-rays. Carbon desorption when the polarization is lost proceeds most probably in form of CO2. Upon carbon desorption cycles, the ferroelectric surface is depleted in oxygen and at some point reverses its polarization, owing to electrons provided by oxygen vacancies which are able to screen the depolarization field produced by positive fixed charges at the surface.

A First Principles Study of H₂ Adsorption on LaNiO₃(001) Surfaces.

Project description:The adsorption of H₂ on LaNiO₃ was investigated using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The adsorption sites, adsorption energy, and electronic structure of LaNiO₃(001)/H₂ systems were calculated and indicated through the calculated surface energy that the (001) surface was the most stable surface. By looking at optimized structure, adsorption energy and dissociation energy, we found that there were three types of adsorption on the surface. First, H₂ molecules completely dissociate and then tend to bind with the O atoms, forming two -OH bonds. Second, H₂ molecules partially dissociate with the H atoms bonding to the same O atom to form one H₂O molecule. These two types are chemical adsorption modes; however, the physical adsorption of H₂ molecules can also occur. When analyzing the electron structure of the H₂O molecule formed by the partial dissociation of the H₂ molecule and the surface O atom, we found that the interaction between H₂O and the (001) surface was weaker, thus, H₂O was easier to separate from the surface to create an O vacancy. On the (001) surface, a supercell was constructed to accurately study the most stable adsorption site. The results from analyses of the charge population; electron localization function; and density of the states indicated that the dissociated H and O atoms form a typical covalent bond and that the interaction between the H₂ molecule and surface is mainly due to the overlap-hybridization among the H 1s, O 2s, and O 2p states. Therefore, the conductivity of LaNiO₃(001)/H₂ is stronger after adsorption and furthermore, the conductivity of the LaNiO₃ surface is better than that of the LaFeO₃ surface.

DFT Study of Methylene Blue Adsorption on ZnTiO3 and TiO2 Surfaces (101).

Project description:The search for alternative materials with high dye adsorption capacity, such as methylene blue (MB), remains the focus of current studies. This computational study focuses on oxides ZnTiO3 and TiO2 (anatase phase) and on their adsorptive properties. Computational calculations based on DFT methods were performed using the Viena Ab initio Simulation Package (VASP) code to study the electronic properties of these oxides. The bandgap energy values calculated by the Hubbard U (GGA + U) method for ZnTiO3 and TiO2 were 3.17 and 3.21 eV, respectively, which are consistent with the experimental data. The most favorable orientation of the MB adsorbed on the surface (101) of both oxides is semi-perpendicular. Stronger adsorption was observed on the ZnTiO3 surface (-282.05 kJ/mol) than on TiO2 (-10.95 kJ/mol). Anchoring of the MB molecule on both surfaces was carried out by means of two protons in a bidentate chelating (BC) adsorption model. The high adsorption energy of the MB dye on the ZnTiO3 surface shows the potential value of using this mixed oxide as a dye adsorbent for several technological and environmental applications.

Oxygen Adsorption Induced Superconductivity in Ultrathin FeTe Film on SrTiO3(001).

Project description:The phenomenon of oxygen incorporation-induced superconductivity in iron telluride (Fe1+yTe, with antiferromagnetic (AFM) orders) is intriguing and quite different from the case of FeSe. Until now, the microscopic origin of the induced superconductivity and the role of oxygen are far from clear. Here, by combining in situ scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy (STM/STS) and X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS) on oxygenated FeTe, we found physically adsorbed O2 molecules crystallized into c (2/3 × 2) structure as an oxygen overlayer at low temperature, which was vital for superconductivity. The O2 overlayer were not epitaxial on the FeTe lattice, which implied weak O2 -FeTe interaction but strong molecular interactions. The energy shift observed in the STS and XPS measurements indicated a hole doping effect from the O2 overlayer to the FeTe layer, leading to a superconducting gap of 4.5 meV opened across the Fermi level. Our direct microscopic probe clarified the role of oxygen on FeTe and emphasized the importance of charge transfer effect to induce superconductivity in iron-chalcogenide thin films.

Nanoscale oxygen defect gradients in UO2+x surfaces.

Project description:Oxygen defects govern the behavior of a range of materials spanning catalysis, quantum computing, and nuclear energy. Understanding and controlling these defects is particularly important for the safe use, storage, and disposal of actinide oxides in the nuclear fuel cycle, since their oxidation state influences fuel lifetimes, stability, and the contamination of groundwater. However, poorly understood nanoscale fluctuations in these systems can lead to significant deviations from bulk oxidation behavior. Here we describe the use of aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy and electron energy loss spectroscopy to resolve changes in the local oxygen defect environment in [Formula: see text] surfaces. We observe large image contrast and spectral changes that reflect the presence of sizable gradients in interstitial oxygen content at the nanoscale, which we quantify through first-principles calculations and image simulations. These findings reveal an unprecedented level of excess oxygen incorporated in a complex near-surface spatial distribution, offering additional insight into defect formation pathways and kinetics during [Formula: see text] surface oxidation.

Density Functional Tight Binding Theory Approach for the CO2 Reduction Reaction Paths on Anatase TiO2 Surfaces.

Project description:Herein, we have investigated the CO2 reduction paths on the (101) anatase TiO2 surface using an approach based on the density functional tight binding (DFTB) theory. We analyzed the reaction paths for the conversion of carbon dioxide to methane by performing a large number of calculations with intermediates placed in various orientations and locations at the surface. Our results show that the least stable intermediate is CO2H and therefore a key bottleneck is the reduction of CO2 to formic acid. Hydrogen adsorption is also weak and would also be a limiting factor, unless very high pressures of hydrogen are used. The results from our DFTB approach are in good agreement with the hybrid functional based density functional theory calculations presented in the literature.
