Effect of a humid environment on the surface structure of RuO 2 ( 110 )
نویسنده
چکیده
Combining density-functional theory and thermodynamics we compute the phase diagram of surface structures of rutile RuO2(110) in equilibrium with water vapor in the complete range of experimentally accessible gas phase conditions. Through the formation of hydroxyl or water-like groups, already lowest concentrations of hydrogen in the gas phase are sufficient to stabilize an oxygen-rich polar oxide termination even at very low oxygen pressure.

Composition and structure of the RuO 2 ( 110 ) surface in an O 2 and CO environment : implications for the catalytic formation of CO
The phase diagram of surface structures for the model catalyst RuO2(110) in contact with a gas environment of O2 and CO is calculated by density-functional theory and atomistic thermodynamics. Adsorption of the reactants is found to depend crucially on temperature and partial pressures in the gas phase. Assuming that a catalyst surface under steady-state operation conditions is close to a const...
متن کاملAn insight into effect of surface functional groups on reactivity of Sphalerite (110) surface with Xanthate collector: a DFT study
The reactivity of the protonated and hydroxylated sphalerite (1 1 0) surface with xanthate was simulated using the density functional theory (DFT). The difference between the energy of the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital of the sphalerite surface and the energy of the highest occupied molecular orbital of xanthate ( was used to compare the reaction capability of xanthate with fresh and fun...
متن کاملFerromagnetism stabilized by lattice distortion at the surface of the p-wave superconductor Sr(2)RuO(4)
Ferromagnetic (FM) spin fluctuations are believed to mediate the spin-triplet pairing for the p-wave superconductivity in Sr(2)RuO(4). Our experiments show that, at the surface, a bulk soft-phonon mode freezes into a static lattice distortion associated with an in-plane rotation of the RuO(6) octahedron. First-principle calculations confirm this structure and predict a FM ground state at the su...

Background & objectives: Caffeine can affect many physiological functions of the body. The aim of this study was to investigate the response of aerobic function, blood pressure and some immune system factors of trained men to acute caffeine consumption in dehydrated condition and warm and humid environment. Methods: Thirty male athletes with a mean age of 26.6±3.9 years in dehydrated conditions...
متن کاملStructures and properties of zirconia-supported ruthenium oxide catalysts for the selective oxidation of methanol to methyl formate.
The effects of RuO(x) structure on the selective oxidation of methanol to methyl formate (MF) at low temperatures were examined on ZrO(2)-supported RuO(x) catalysts with a range of Ru surface densities (0.2-3.8 Ru/nm(2)). Their structure was characterized using complementary methods (X-ray diffraction, Raman and X-ray photoelectron spectra, and reduction dynamics). The structure and reactivity ...
