چکیده

Atomic hydrogen adsorption energies on bimetallic overlayer systems have been determined by periodic density functional theory calculations within the generalized gradient approximation. On the pseudomorphic Pd/Cu(111) surface, both the substrate interaction and the lattice compression of the Pd overlayer lead to smaller hydrogen binding energies. For pseudomorphic Cu/Pd(111), on the hand, the strong Cu-Pd interaction results in larger binding energies. Hence, both Pd/Cu(111) and Cu/Pd(111) exhibit an intermediate behavior between pure Cu(111) and pure Pd(111). In addition, we have determined the atomic hydrogen adsorption on Pd/Au(111) in the presence of a water overlayer. The hydrogen adsorption energies are changed by less than 60 meV by the most stable H2O bilayer compared to the clean surface. This indicates that theoretical adsorption studies at the solid-vacuum interface might also be relevant for the solid-liquid interface.

Interaction of atomic hydrogen with monometallic Au(100), Cu(100), Pt(100) surfaces and surface of bimetallic Au@Cu(100), Au@Pt(100) overlayer systems: The role of magnetism

The spin-polarized calculations in generalized gradient approximation density–functional theory (GGA–DFT) have been used to show how the existence of second metals can modify the atomic hydrogen adsorption on Au (100), Cu (100), and Pt (100) surfaces. The computed adsorption energies for the atomic hydrogen adsorbed at the surface coverage of 0.125 ML (monolayer) for the monometallic Au (100), ...

A theoretical approach for modeling reactivity at solid–liquid interfaces

We present a new general methodology capable of modeling chemical reactions at solid–liquid interfaces called CECILIA ~combined embedded cluster at the interface with liquid approach!. The main idea is to combine the embedded cluster molecular orbital or density functional methods for describing interactions at the surface of a solid with the dielectric continuum approach for modeling a liquid....

EFFECT OF Si ANTIOXIDANT ON THE RATE OF OXIDATION OF CARBON IN MgO- C REFRACTORY

Progressive conversion/shrinking core (PC-SC) models of constant-size cylinders were exploited to interpret the decarburization reactions of MgO-C-Si bricks heated up under blown air. Chemical adsorption/solid (or pore) diffusion mechanisms governed the reaction rate. With 5% silicon, chemical adsorption vanished at 1000 and 1100°C. The oxidation rate lowered then with temperature. This was due...
