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

ABSTRACT: 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.

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.

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

Project description: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.

First-principles study of sodium adsorption on defective graphene under propylene carbonate electrolyte conditions.

Project description:Hard carbon (HC) has been predominantly used as a typical anode material of sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) but its sodiation mechanism has been debated. In this work, we investigate the adsorption of Na atoms on defective graphene under propylene carbonate (PC) and water solvent as well as vacuum conditions to clarify the sodiation mechanism of HC. Within the joint density functional theory framework, we use the nonlinear polarizable continuum model for PC and the charge-asymmetric nonlocally-determined local electric solvation model for water. Our calculations reveal that the centre of each point defect such as mono-vacancy (MV), di-vacancy (DV) and Stone-Wales is a preferable adsorption site and the electrolyte enhances the Na adsorption through implicit interaction. Furthermore, we calculate the formation energies of multiple Na atom arrangements on the defective graphene and estimate the electrode potential versus Na/Na+, verifying that the multiple Na adsorption on the MV and DV defective graphene under the PC electrolyte conditions is related to the slope region of the discharge curve in HC. This reveals new prospects for optimizing anodes and electrolytes for high performance SIBs.

First Principles Investigation of C, Cl<sub>2</sub> and CO Co-Adsorption on ZrSiO<sub>4</sub> Surfaces for Carbochlorination Reaction.

Project description:The study of the adsorption behavior of C, CO and Cl2 on the surface of ZrSiO4 is of great significance for the formulation of the technological parameters in the carbochlorination reaction process. Based on first principles, the adsorption structure, adsorption energy, Barder charge, differential charge density, partial density of states and energy barrier were calculated to research the adsorption and reaction mechanism of C and Cl2 on ZrSiO4 surfaces. The results indicated that when C, CO and Cl2 co-adsorbed on the surface of ZrSiO4, they interacted with surface atoms and the charge transfer occurred. The Cl2 molecules dissociated and formed Zr-Cl bonds, while C atoms formed C1=O1 bonds with O atoms. Compared with CO, the co-adsorption energy and reaction energy barrier of C and Cl2 are lower, and the higher the C content, the lower the adsorption energy and energy barrier, which is beneficial for promoting charge transfer and the dissociation of Cl2. The 110-2C-2Cl2 has the lowest adsorption energy and the highest reaction activity, with adsorption energy and energy barriers of -13.45 eV and 0.02 eV. The electrons released by C are 2.30 e, while the electrons accepted by Cl2 are 2.37 e.

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.

A First-Principles Study on the Multiferroic Property of Two-Dimensional BaTiO₃ (001) Ultrathin Film with Surface Ba Vacancy.

Project description:In this work, the multiferroic property of Ba-deficient BaTiO₃ (001) ultrathin film is studied employing the first-principles approach. The BaTiO₃ (001) ultrathin film is more energetically stable and behaves as a semiconductor relative to the (111) and (101) configurations, confirmed from the surface grand potential and electronic density of states. The electronic structures show that the O vacancy can switch the (001) film from a semi-conductor into a metal, while the Ba defect has a slight influence on the band gap, at a concentration of ~2.13%. In Ba-deficient (001) film, the spontaneous polarization pattern is changed and a spontaneous polarization parallel to the surface is observed. Furthermore, a magnetic moment is induced, and it is found to be originated from the O atoms in the supercell. Our results suggest that a strong magnetoelectric coupling occurs because the magnetic moment exhibits a 43.66% drop when the spontaneous polarization increases from 12.84 µC/cm² to 23.99 µC/cm² in the deficient BaTiO₃ with m = 2 under the bi-axial compress stress field.

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.

First-principles investigation of adsorption behaviors of small molecules on penta-graphene.

Project description:The gas-adsorption behaviors of small molecules CO, H2O, H2S, NH3, SO2, and NO on pristine penta-graphene (PG) were investigated using first-principles calculations to explore their potential for use as advanced gas-sensing materials. Results show that, except for CO, H2O, H2S, NH3, and SO2 are physically adsorbed on the surface of penta-graphene with considerable adsorption energy and moderate charge transfer, while NO is prone to be chemically adsorbed on the surface of penta-graphene. Moreover, the electronic properties of PG can be effectively modified after H2O, H2S, NH3, SO2, and NO are adsorbed, and penta-graphene has potential for using in gas sensors via the charge-transfer mechanism.

First-Principles Study of 3d Transition-Metal-Atom Adsorption onto Graphene Embedded with the Extended Line Defect.

Project description:A type of line defect (LD) composed of alternate squares and octagons (4-8) as the basic unit is currently an experimentally available topological defect in the graphene lattice, which brings some interesting modifications to the magnetic and electronic properties of graphene. The transitional-metal (TM) atoms adsorb on graphene with a line defect (4-8), and they show interesting and attractive structural, magnetic, and electronic properties. For different TMs such as Fe, Co, Mn, Ni, and V, the complex systems show different magnetic and electronic properties. The TM atoms can spontaneously adsorb at quadrangular sites, forming a metallic atomic chain along LD on graphene. The most stable configuration is the hollow site of a regular tangle. The TMs (TM = Co, Fe, Mn, Ni, V) tend to form extended metal lines, showing a ferromagnetic (FM) ground state. For the Co, Fe, and V atoms, the system is half-metal. The spin-α electron is insulating, while the spin-β electron is conductive. For the Mn and Ni atoms, Mn-LD and Ni-LD present a spin-polarized metal; for the Fe atom, Fe-LD shows a semimetal with Dirac cones. For Fe and V atoms, both Fe-LD and V-LD show spin-polarized half-metallic properties. And its spin-α electron is conducting, while the spin-β electron is insulating. Different TMs adsorbing on a graphene nanoribbon forming the same stable configurations of metal lines show different electronic properties. The adsorption of TMs induces magnetism and spin polarization. These metal lines have potential applications in spintronic devices and work as a quasi-one-dimensional metallic wire, which may form building blocks for atomic-scale electrons with well-controlled contacts at the atomic level.

First Principles Study of Adsorption of Hydrogen on Typical Alloying Elements and Inclusions in Molten 2219 Al Alloy.

Project description:To better understand the effect of the components of molten 2219 Al alloy on the hydrogen content dissolved in it, the H adsorption on various positions of alloying element clusters of Cu, Mn and Al, as well as the inclusion of Al₂O₃, MgO and Al₄C₃, were investigated by means of first principles calculation, and the thermodynamic stability of H adsorbed on each possible site was also studied on the basis of formation energy. Results show that the interaction between Al, MgO, Al₄C₃ and H atoms is mainly repulsive and energetically unfavorable; a favorable interaction between Cu, Mn, Al₂O₃ and H atoms was determined, with H being more likely to be adsorbed on the top of the third atomic layer of Cu(111), the second atomic layer of Mn(111), and the O atom in the third atomic layer of Al₂O₃, compared with other sites. It was found that alloying elements Cu and Mn and including Al₂O₃ may increase the hydrogen adsorption in the molten 2219 Al alloy with Al₂O₃ being the most sensitive component in this regard.
