چکیده

The physisorption of atomic hydrogen on graphene is investigated quantum mechanically using a semiempirical model for the lattice dynamics. A thermally averaged wave packet propagation describes the motion of the H atoms with respect to the membrane. Two graphene configurations, either supported on a silicone oxide substrate or suspended over a hole in the substrate, are considered. In both cases, the phonon spectrum is modified in such a way that graphene is stabilized with respect to thermal fluctuations. The sticking probabilities of hydrogen on these stabilized membranes at 10 K are high at low collision energies, and larger than on graphite.

Approaching ballistic transport in suspended graphene.

The discovery of graphene raises the prospect of a new class of nanoelectronic devices based on the extraordinary physical properties of this one-atom-thick layer of carbon. Unlike two-dimensional electron layers in semiconductors, where the charge carriers become immobile at low densities, the carrier mobility in graphene can remain high, even when their density vanishes at the Dirac point. Ho...

Hydrogen adsorption by g-C3N4 and graphene oxide nanosheets

The adsorption behavior of hydrogen for synthesized graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) and graphene oxide nanosheets was compared. The structure of the prepared g-C3N4 and graphene oxide samples were studied using TEM, FT-IR spectroscopy and surface area analysis. Textural results of the prepared nanosheets show that the surface area, total pore volume, and average internal diameter of g-C3N4 an...

Effect of platinum on Ceria supported Cu catalysts for PrOx process in fuel processors

The CO preferential oxidation (PrOx) is one of the critical steps in hydrogen production and purification for Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC). This reaction was investigated in the presence of excess hydrogen over Cu/CeO2, Pt/CeO2 and Cu-Pt/CeO2 catalysts. The ceria supports was prepared via precipitation method and Cu-Pt/CeO2 catalyst was synthesized by sequential impregnation o...

Quantum dynamics of hydrogen atoms on graphene. II. Sticking.

Following our recent system-bath modeling of the interaction between a hydrogen atom and a graphene surface [Bonfanti et al., J. Chem. Phys. 143, 124703 (2015)], we present the results of converged quantum scattering calculations on the activated sticking dynamics. The focus of this study is the collinear scattering on a surface at zero temperature, which is treated with high-dimensional wavepa...
