adsorption versus dissociative chemisorption
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ž . Ab initio embedded cluster calculations of water interaction with the TiO 110 surface predict that molecular adsorption 2 is more favorable than dissociative chemisorption. Unlike all previous calculations, this result is in agreement with recent temperature-programmed desorption and modulated beams experiments. Calculated surface relaxation, water adsorption energy and the densities of electronic states are also in good agreement with available experimental data. This agreement suggests that the embedded cluster model developed in this work is an accurate predictive tool that can be useful for theoretical studies of photocatalytic reactions on titanium dioxide surfaces. q 1999 Elsevier Science B.V.

Non-Dissociative Gas Adsorption with Different Chemisorption Geometries on Nanoporous Surfaces
Isotherm equation is one of the important scientific bases for adsorbent selection. There are different isotherms that do not account for an adsorbate, different chemisorption geometries on the nanoporous surface. It is interesting to introduce a general isotherm, which considers different chemisorption geometries of an adsorbate on nanoporous surfaces. In this study, an isotherm for non-dissoci...
متن کاملIndication of a size-dependent transition from molecular to dissociative chemisorption on clusters
We report experimental indications for a size-dependent change of the chemical nature of chemisorption on small atomic clusters. We studied chemisorption of atomic hydrogen on negatively charged Tin clusters using mass and photoelectron spectroscopy. Our experimental data support the assumption that for clusters with up to four Ti atoms, adsorption of intact H2 molecules is the energetically pr...
متن کاملAccurate and efficient determination of chemisorption energies using pseudopotentials
The accuracy and efficiency of ab initio density functional theory calculations depend critically on the choice of pseudopotential. In this study, the merits of using large-core pseudopotentials for the dissociative chemisorption of oxygen on rhodium are discussed. The results show that these efficient pseudopotentials yield adsorption energies and bond distances of the oxygen atom to rhodium t...
متن کاملDissociation of Water at the MgO(100)-Water Interface: Comparison of Theory with Experiment
Dissociative chemisorption of H2O at the MgO(100)-water interface has been investigated both experimentally and theoretically. In particular, metastable impact electron spectroscopy (MIES) was used to image the density of occupied states on the MgO(100)/Mo(100) surface for various degrees of water exposure. After multilayer water desorption, spectral features typical of surface hydroxyls are pr...
متن کاملTHE ACTIVATION OF CARBON DIOXIDE AT A MAGNESIUM (1 00) SURFACE THE ROLE OF OXYGEN TRANSIENTS
X-ray photoelectron and high resolution electron energy loss spectroscopic (XPS-HREELS) studies have shown that the adsorption of carbon dioxide at Mg(100) surfaces at 80K is followed by a dissociative reaction leading to the formation of a metastable surface carbonate above 80K. The formation of a carbonate species is proposed to proceed through oxidation of C0 (g) by an active oxygen su...
