Dissociative Adsorption of H2 on the HÕSi„100... Surface The Effect of Intradimer p-Bonding Disruption
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have studied dissociative H2 adsorption on the H/Si~100! surface by means of pseudopotential density functional theory calculations. This work is directly motivated by the observations of Biederman et al. @Phys. Rev. Lett., 83, 1810 ~1999!#: ‘‘H2 adsorption is significantly promoted in an interdimer configuration of two adjacent singly occupied dimers.’’ We find that there is no adsorption barrier on the local site where two quasi-free dangling bonds are available; the adsorption energy is estimated to be 2.6 eV per H2 within the local density approximation. We present maximally localized Wannier functions that clearly illustrate the behavior of dangling orbitals upon the approach of H2. The results suggest that intradimer p-bonding disruption is crucial for the significant promotion of H2 adsorption on Si~100!. © 2001 The Electrochemical Society. @DOI: 10.1149/1.1413992# All rights reserved.

Adsorption and dissociation of hydrogen molecules on bare and functionalized carbon nanotubes
Interaction between hydrogen molecules and bare as well as functionalized single-wall carbon nanotubes SWNT is investigated using first-principles plane wave method. It is found that the binding energy of the H2 physisorbed on the outer surface of the bare SWNT is very weak, and cannot be enhanced significantly either by increasing the curvature of the surface through radial deformation, or by ...
متن کاملNon-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 کاملCoverage dependent water dissociative adsorption on Fe(110) from DFT computation.
Using density functional theory calculations and ab initio atomistic thermodynamics, H2O adsorption and dissociation on the Fe(110) p(4 × 4) surface at different coverages have been computed. At the lowest coverage, the adsorbed H2O, OH, O and H species can migrate easily on the surface. For (H2O)n adsorption, H2O molecules donating H atoms for H-bonding adsorb more strongly than those acceptin...

The interaction of hydrogen with many transition metal surfaces is characterized by a coexistence of activated with non-activated paths to adsorption with a broad distribution of barrier heights. By performing six-dimensional quantum dynamical and classical molecular dynamics calculations using the same potential energy surface derived from ab initio calculations for the system H2/Pd(100) we sh...

Due to the improvement of computer power and the development of efficient algorithms it is now possible to combine high-dimensional quantum dynamical calculations of the dissociative adsorption of molecular beams with reliable ab-initio potential energy surfaces (PES). In this brief review two recent examples of such studies of the systems H2/Cu(111), where adsorption is hindered by a noticeabl...
