We performed a density functional theory investigation on the structural and electronic properties of pristine and nitrogen-doped TiO2/Graphene oxide nanocomposites as the adsorbents for the removal of toxic NO molecules in the environment. We presented the most stable adsorption configurations and examined the interaction of NO molecule with these doped and undoped nanocomposites. It turns out...

We have used in situ polarization-modulation infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy to study the adsorption/dissociation of NO on Rh(111). While these studies have not been conclusive regarding the detailed surface structures formed during adsorption, they have provided important new information on the dissociation of NO on Rh(111). At moderate pressures (< or =10(-6) Torr) and temperature...

We examine the interaction between NO and the Rh(110) surface using ab initio DFT–LDA pseudo-potential plane-wave total energy calculations. Four different adsorption sites for perpendicular NO are considered. The short-bridge site with linear NO is found to be the optimal adsorption configuration. It is also possible for NO to bond parallel to the surface, and this may be the precursor to NO d...

We report a computational study of NO adsorption and diffusion on the hydroxylated rutile TiO2(110) surface performed with density functional theory (DFT) calculations corrected by on-site Coulomb corrections and long-range dispersion interactions. NO prefers to adsorb with its N-end down at surface Ti5c sites. The excess electron that is located at a subsurface site for the hydroxylated surfac...

The equilibrium and kinetics of adsorption of NO and CO on nonstoichiometric nickel-copper manganites have been investigated through volumetric measurements. The adsorption isotherms were satisfactorily fitted to the Freundlich equation. The equilibrium coverages at 298 K were found to depend closely on the chemical composition of the oxide; thus, a decrease in the coverage beyond a maximum cop...

First-principle calculations have been investigated to study the adsorption of the molecules (SO2, CO, NH3, CO2, NO2, and NO) on the surface of mono boron (B) B-doped and dual B-doped graphene sheets to explore their potential applications as sensors. Our findings indicate that the adsorption of (CO and NH3) on B-doped graphene and (CO and ...

The differential adsorption heats of oxygen and NO, as well as catalytic oxidation behavior during NO oxidation and NO2 dissociation reactions over supported Pt-catalysts, were investigated by microcalorimetric measurements. The average heat of adsorption (∆H) of oxygen ranged from 310 kJ/mol at 200 ̋C to 289 kJ/mol at 400 ̋C. Over this temperature range formation of platinum oxides and coverag...

Adsorption of NO2 molecule on pristine and N-doped TiO2 anatase nanoparticles have been studied using the density functional theory (DFT) technique. The structural properties (such as bond lengths and bond angles) and the electronic properties (such as density of states, band structures and atomic partial charges) have been computed for considered nanoparticles. The result...

Plane-wave pseudopotential Density Functional Theory (OFT) periodic slab calculations were performed usingthe giteralized gradient approximation (GHA) to investigate the adsorption of nitric oxide(NO) on the (I II)surface of Cu. Copper rface was stimulated using th P 'odic Slab Method consisting of Five atomic Layers.Four different adsorption saes (Atop. Bridge, RCP Hollow, and FCC Hollow) were...
