Hydrogen adsorption on bimetallic PdAu(111) surface alloys: minimum adsorption ensemble, ligand and ensemble effects, and ensemble confinement.

چکیده
The adsorption of hydrogen on structurally well defined PdAu-Pd(111) monolayer surface alloys was investigated in a combined experimental and theoretical study, aiming at a quantitative understanding of the adsorption and desorption properties of individual PdAu nanostructures. Combining the structural information obtained by high resolution scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), in particular on the abundance of specific adsorption ensembles at different Pd surface concentrations, with information on the adsorption properties derived from temperature programmed desorption (TPD) spectroscopy and high resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy (HREELS) provides conclusions on the minimum ensemble size for dissociative adsorption of hydrogen and on the adsorption energies on different sites active for adsorption. Density functional theory (DFT) based calculations give detailed insight into the physical effects underlying the observed adsorption behavior. Consequences of these findings for the understanding of hydrogen adsorption on bimetallic surfaces in general are discussed.

The Effect of Cu Impurity on the CO-dissociation Mechanism on the Fe (100) Surface: A Full Potential DFT Study
In this study, the theoretical calculations of CO dissociation were carried out on Cu-Fe alloy surface by a full-potential method, which made more accurate results especially on the prediction of adsorption energies. This process may be governed by either a direct route or a H-assisted via HCO and COH intermediates pathways. In comparison to the pure surface Fe (100), the presence of Cu atom en...

Motivated by a recent detailed experimental study [Y. Ma et al., Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys., 2011, 13, 10741], the structure and local reactivity of PdAg/Pd(111) surface alloys were studied using periodic density functional theory calculations. As a probe of the local reactivity, CO adsorption energies were evaluated as a function of concentration and configuration of silver and palladium atoms an...

This work reports the results of four ensemble approaches with the M5 model tree as the base regression model to anticipate Sodium Adsorption Ratio (SAR). Ensemble methods that combine the output of multiple regression models have been found to be more accurate than any of the individual models making up the ensemble. In this study additive boosting, bagging, rotation forest and random subspace...
متن کاملCharacterization and Chemical Properties of Pd-Au Alloy Surfaces†
The chemisorptive behavior of CO on Pd-Au alloy films has been studied by infrared reflection-adsorption spectroscopy (IRAS). Geometric (ensemble) and electronic (ligand) effects have been addressed by comparing the results with the corresponding single-component systems. A unique CO vibrational feature at 2088 cm-1 is associated with CO adsorption on isolated Pd sites. Considering the frequenc...
متن کاملWater adsorption on bimetallic PtRu/Pt(111) surface alloys.
The adsorption of water on bimetallic PtRu/Pt(111) surface alloys has been studied based on periodic density functional theory calculations including dispersion corrections. The Ru atoms of the PtRu surface alloy interact more strongly with water than Pt atoms, as far as both single water molecules and ice-like hexagonal structures are concerned. Within the surface alloy layer, the lateral liga...
