The optimized structures of single H2 O and SO2 on Cu(100) surface were calculated at the coverage of 0.25 ML(molecular layer) and 0.5 ML. The results show that there was no obvious chemical adsorption of them on Cu(100) surface. The adsorbed structures, adsorption energy and electronic properties including difference charge density, valence charge density, Bader charge analysis and partial density of states(PDOS) of co-adsorbed structures of H2 O and SO2 were investigated to illustrate the interaction between adsorbates and surface. H2 O and SO2 can adsorb on surface of Cu atoms chemically via molecule form at the coverage of 0.25 ML, while H2 O dissociated into OH adsorbed on surface and H bonded with SO2 which keeps away from surface at the coverage of 0.5 ML.展开更多

The results from TPSR of pre-adsorbed CO with H2 and syngas suggested that the presence of H2 increased the amount of CO adsorption and accelerated CO dissociation. The H2 was adsorbed first, and activated to form H* over metal sites, then reacted with carbonaceous species. The oxygen species for CO2 formation in the presence of hydrogen was mostly OH^*, which reacted with adsorbed CO subsequently via CO^*+OH^* → CO2^*+H^*; however, the direct CO dissociation was not excluded in CO hydrogenation. The dissociation of C-O bond in the presence of H2 proceeded by a concerted mechanism, which assisted the Boudourd reaction of adsorbed CO on the surface via CO^*+2H^* → CH^*+OH^*. The formation of the surface species (CH) from adsorbed CO proceeded as indicated with the participation of surface hydrogen, was favored in the initial step of the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis.展开更多

Two distinct adsorption features of H2O on GaN(0001) corresponding to molecular adsorption and H-OH dissociative adsorption are revealed by our calculations. The activities of the surface reactions of H2O on GaN(0001) surface are investigated. For the stepwise processes of H2O decomposition into H2 in gas phase and adsorbed O atom (H2O(g)→H2O(chem)→OH(chem) + H(chem)→2H(chem) + O(chem)→H2(g) + O(chem)), the first and second steps are facile and can even occur at room temperature; while the last two have high barriers and thus are difficult to proceed, especially the fourth step is endothermic. In short, H2O adsorption and decomposition into H2 in gas phase and adsorbed O atom on GaN(0001) surface are exothermic by -43.98 kcal/mol.展开更多

Performance of the CuO/γ-Al2O3 catalysts was explored in a fixed bed adsorption system. The catalysts maintain nearly 100% NO conversion efficiency at 350℃. Comprehensive tests were carried out to study the adsorption behavior of NH3 and NO over the catalysts. The desorption experiments prove that NH3 and NO are adsorbed on CuO/γ-Al2O3 catalysts. The adsorption behaviors of NH3 and NO were also studied with the in-situ diffusion reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy methods. The results show that NH3 could be strongly adsorbed on the catalysts, resulting in coordinated NH3 and NH4+. NO adsorption leads to the formation of bridging bidentate nitrate, chelating bidentate nitrate, and chelating nitro. The interaction of NH3 and NO molecules with the Cu2+ present on the CAl2O3 (100) surface was investigated by using a periodic density functional theory. The results show that the adsorption of all the molecules on the Cu2+ site is energetically favorable, whereas NO bound is stronger than that of NH3 with the adsorption site, and key information about the structural and energetic properties was also addressed.展开更多

Upon the optimization on different adsorption sites with coverage of 1/20 and 1/5 ML,it was found that the adsorption of C atoms on the α-Fe2O3(001) surface was chemical adsorption. The coverage can affect the adsorption behavior greatly. Under low coverage,the most stable adsorption geometry lied on the bridged site with the adsorption energy of about 3.22 eV; however,under high coverage,it located at the top site with the energy change of 8.79 eV. Strong chemical reaction has occurred between the C and O atoms at this site. The density of states and population analysis showed that the s,p orbitals of C and p orbital of O give the most contribution to the adsorption bonding. During the adsorption process,O atom shares the electrons with C,and C can only affect the outermost and subsurface layers of α-Fe2O3; the third layer can not be affected obviously.展开更多

The characterization of the material was carried out by means of SEM and TEM. Batch adsorption and elution experiments were carried out to determine the adsorption properties of Cd on the new adsorbent. The classical Thomas model was applied to estimating the equilibrium coefficients of Cd adsorption and the saturated adsorption ability. The results show that the Thomas model is fit for describing the kinetic adsorption process, and the maximum adsorption capacity of the nanometer Al2O3/carbon is 69.29 mg/g. The resulting information also indicates that the desorption of Cd eluted with de-ionized water at a rate of 9.8 mL/min can be neglected. With the advantage of a high adsorption capacity for removing low concentration Cd, the Al2O3/carbon fibre possesses the potentiality to be an effective adsorbent for the removal of Cd from polluted water.展开更多

The TW and TW/C samples are characterized by FTIR, XRD, SEM and N2 physical adsorption. The results showed that specific surface area of 350 and 570 m2·g?1 for TW and TW/C, respectively. The average pore size of TW/C is ca. 100 nm. Adsorption of methylen blue onto TW/C composite has been studied. Measurements are performed at various contact time, pH and adsorbent dosage. The adsorption kinetics of methylen blue (MB) could be described by the pseudo-second order kinetic model. The adsorption isotherms are described by means of Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms. It was found that the Freundlich model fit better than the Langmuir model. The thermodynamic constants of the adsorption were calculated to predict the nature of adsorption. The values of thermodynamic parameters indicate that a spontaneous and endothermic process was occurred.展开更多

No X-ray diffraction peak of crystalline Eu2O3 can be found for all samples studied. The LRS show that two peaks at 998 and 1051 cm-1 assigned to two-dimensional surface europium-oxygen species appear at Eu2O3 content of 18.7 wt%. The peak at 1068 cm-1 due to the surface species and another peak at 342cm-1 due to crystalline Eu2O3 content start to appear for the sample with an Eu2O3 content of 36.5 wt%. The dispersity of Eu2O3 on the surface of amorphous Al2O3 were compared with that of α-Al2O3,η-Al2O3 and SiO2 gel. The results of these studies indicate that the structure of Eu2O3 dispersed onto the support surface depend on the structure of support and that there is an inductive effect of support on the structure of the Eu2O3.展开更多

The results of geometry optimization indicate that the top site is stable energetically for H2O adsorbed over the CuCl(111) surface. The threefold hollow site is found to be the most stable adsorption site for OH and O, and the calculated adsorption energies are 309.5 and 416.5 kJ/mol, respectively. Adsorption of H20 on oxygen-precovered CuCl(111) surface to form surface hydroxyl groups is predicted to be exothermic by 180.1 kJ/mol. The stretching vibrational frequencies, Mulliken population analysis and density of states analysis are employed to interpret the possible mechanism for the computed results.展开更多

An ideal Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3(100) surface is non-magnetic and the cation vacancy could induce the magnetism. By comparing the formation energies for Na, Bi and Ti vacancy, the Na vacancy is more stable than the others. Therefore, we focus on the configuration and electric structure for the system of O2 molecule adsorption on the Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3(100) surface with a Na vacancy. Among the five physisorption configurations we considered, the most likely adsorption position is Na vacancy. The O2 adsorption enhances the magnetism of the system. The contribution of spin polarization is mainly from the O 2p orbitals. The characteristics of exchange coupling are also calculated, which show that the ferromagnetic coupling is favorable. Compared with the previous calculation results, our calculations could explain the room-temperature ferromagnetism of Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3 nanocrytalline powders more reasonably, because of taking into account adsorbed oxygen and cation vacancies. Moreover, our results also show that adsorption of O2 molecule as well as introduction of cation vacancies may be a promising approach to improve multiferroic materials.展开更多

NO adsorption leads to the formation of bridging bidentate nitrate, chelating bidentate nitrate, and chelating nitro. The interaction of NH3 and NO molecules with the Cu2+ present on the CAl2O3 (100) surface was investigated by using a periodic density functional theory. The results show that the adsorption of all the molecules on the Cu2+ site is energetically favorable, whereas NO bound is stronger than that of NH3 with the adsorption site, and key information about the structural and energetic properties was also addressed.

文摘The adsorption of C atoms on the α-Fe2O3(001) surface was studied based on density function theory(DFT) ,in which the exchange-correlation potential was chosen as the PBE(Perdew,Burke and Ernzerhof) generalized gradient approximation(GGA) with a plane wave basis set. Upon the optimization on different adsorption sites with coverage of 1/20 and 1/5 ML,it was found that the adsorption of C atoms on the α-Fe2O3(001) surface was chemical adsorption. The coverage can affect the adsorption behavior greatly. Under low coverage,the most stable adsorption geometry lied on the bridged site with the adsorption energy of about 3.22 eV; however,under high coverage,it located at the top site with the energy change of 8.79 eV. Strong chemical reaction has occurred between the C and O atoms at this site. The density of states and population analysis showed that the s,p orbitals of C and p orbital of O give the most contribution to the adsorption bonding. During the adsorption process,O atom shares the electrons with C,and C can only affect the outermost and subsurface layers of α-Fe2O3; the third layer can not be affected obviously.

文摘A new nanometer material, nano-Al2O3 with carbon fibre as the carrier, was employed for the removal of Cd with low concentrations from polluted water. The characterization of the material was carried out by means of SEM and TEM. Batch adsorption and elution experiments were carried out to determine the adsorption properties of Cd on the new adsorbent. The classical Thomas model was applied to estimating the equilibrium coefficients of Cd adsorption and the saturated adsorption ability. The results show that the Thomas model is fit for describing the kinetic adsorption process, and the maximum adsorption capacity of the nanometer Al2O3/carbon is 69.29 mg/g. The resulting information also indicates that the desorption of Cd eluted with de-ionized water at a rate of 9.8 mL/min can be neglected. With the advantage of a high adsorption capacity for removing low concentration Cd, the Al2O3/carbon fibre possesses the potentiality to be an effective adsorbent for the removal of Cd from polluted water.
文摘Tea waste/CuFe2O4 (TW/C) composite was prepared by co-precipitation method. The TW and TW/C samples are characterized by FTIR, XRD, SEM and N2 physical adsorption. The results showed that specific surface area of 350 and 570 m2·g?1 for TW and TW/C, respectively. The average pore size of TW/C is ca. 100 nm. Adsorption of methylen blue onto TW/C composite has been studied. Measurements are performed at various contact time, pH and adsorbent dosage. The adsorption kinetics of methylen blue (MB) could be described by the pseudo-second order kinetic model. The adsorption isotherms are described by means of Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms. It was found that the Freundlich model fit better than the Langmuir model. The thermodynamic constants of the adsorption were calculated to predict the nature of adsorption. The values of thermodynamic parameters indicate that a spontaneous and endothermic process was occurred.
文摘The adsorption properties of atomic and molecular species on Ir4/MgO and Ir4/γ-Al2O3 have been systematically studied by means of planewave density functional theory(DFT)calculations using the periodic boundary conditions.The binding energies of these species were ordered as follows:H2O〈C2H4〈H〈OH〈S〈N〈O〈C.The adsorption energies of adatoms on Ir4/MgO were larger than those on Ir4/γ-Al2O3 except hydrogen atom,but were in reverse for the molecules calculated.In addition,the difference of adsorption energies on MgO and γ-Al2O3 supports has been elucidated by analyzing the electronic properties.A detailed investigation on state density clarifies the nature of the magnitude of adsorption energy.These calculated results are consistent well with the available experimental and theoretical results.
文摘Solid-solid surface adsorption of Eu2O3 on amorphous Al2O3 have been investigated by Mossbauer spectroscopy, X- ray diffraction analysis and laser Raman spectra (LRS). No X-ray diffraction peak of crystalline Eu2O3 can be found for all samples studied. The LRS show that two peaks at 998 and 1051 cm-1 assigned to two-dimensional surface europium-oxygen species appear at Eu2O3 content of 18.7 wt%. The peak at 1068 cm-1 due to the surface species and another peak at 342cm-1 due to crystalline Eu2O3 content start to appear for the sample with an Eu2O3 content of 36.5 wt%. The dispersity of Eu2O3 on the surface of amorphous Al2O3 were compared with that of α-Al2O3,η-Al2O3 and SiO2 gel. The results of these studies indicate that the structure of Eu2O3 dispersed onto the support surface depend on the structure of support and that there is an inductive effect of support on the structure of the Eu2O3.

文摘The adsorption of H2O molecule and its dissociation products, O and OH, on CuCl(111) surface was studied with periodic slab model by PW91 approach of GGA within the framework of density functional theory. The results of geometry optimization indicate that the top site is stable energetically for H2O adsorbed over the CuCl(111) surface. The threefold hollow site is found to be the most stable adsorption site for OH and O, and the calculated adsorption energies are 309.5 and 416.5 kJ/mol, respectively. Adsorption of H20 on oxygen-precovered CuCl(111) surface to form surface hydroxyl groups is predicted to be exothermic by 180.1 kJ/mol. The stretching vibrational frequencies, Mulliken population analysis and density of states analysis are employed to interpret the possible mechanism for the computed results.

文摘The spinel ferrites MnFe2O4 nanowires were synthesized by hydrothermal route,porous MnFe2O4 and nanoparticles morphologies were synthesized by sol-gel method with egg white.The structures,morphologies,magnetic properties and adsorption properties of these obtained ferrites with different morphologies were studied contrastively.Results show that the obtained samples exhibit ferromagnetic properties.This realizes convenient magnetic separation from solution when they are used in the treatment of organic dyes wastewater.However,the contrastive studies show that the saturation magnetizations(Ms) of MnFe2O4 with different morphologies are different and the Ms follows the order:Ms(porous)〈Ms(nanoparticles)〈Ms(nanowires).In addition,the adsorptions of methylene blue(MB) onto these ferrites depend on ferrites' morphologies seriously.The adsorption rate of MB on the porous MnFe2O4 is much higher than those onto the other two samples because the porous structure can provide high efficient mass transport through the pores.

文摘The combination effect of cation vacancies and O2 adsorption on ferromagnetism of Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3(100) surface is studied by using density functional theory. An ideal Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3(100) surface is non-magnetic and the cation vacancy could induce the magnetism. By comparing the formation energies for Na, Bi and Ti vacancy, the Na vacancy is more stable than the others. Therefore, we focus on the configuration and electric structure for the system of O2 molecule adsorption on the Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3(100) surface with a Na vacancy. Among the five physisorption configurations we considered, the most likely adsorption position is Na vacancy. The O2 adsorption enhances the magnetism of the system. The contribution of spin polarization is mainly from the O 2p orbitals. The characteristics of exchange coupling are also calculated, which show that the ferromagnetic coupling is favorable. Compared with the previous calculation results, our calculations could explain the room-temperature ferromagnetism of Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3 nanocrytalline powders more reasonably, because of taking into account adsorbed oxygen and cation vacancies. Moreover, our results also show that adsorption of O2 molecule as well as introduction of cation vacancies may be a promising approach to improve multiferroic materials.
