We have performed calculations on adsorption energies, structures, Mulliken charges and vibrational frequencies of CH3O on Au(111) surface with full-geometry optimization. The predicted results are compared with the available experimental observation. The calculated CH3O adsorption structure and stretching vibrational frequencies agree well with experimental ones, and precise determinations of adsorption sites are carded out. The most favorite adsorption on Au(111) occurs at the bridge site, and O-C axis is tilted to the surface. However, on hollow sites (hcp, fcc) the species is adsorbed in an upright geometry (pseudo-C3v local symmetry).展开更多

The regular tetrahedron structure and the planar structures were considered as the initial adsorption configu- ration of Cu4 cluster, respectively. The adsorption energies of the two structures were also calculated. The simulation result indicated that the adsorption energy of the regular tetrahedron structure was higher than that of the planar structure, and thus the regular tetrahedron structure was confirmed to be the stable adsorption configuration for Cu4 cluster on Cr2O3 (0001) surface. Moreover, it was observed that the Cu4 cluster showed the definite stable adsorption sites on Cr2O3 (0001) surface, namely 3-fold O sites. During the adsorption process of Cu4 cluster onto Cr2O3 (0001) surface, the Cu4 cluster could bond with more Cr or O atoms on the surface, and the apparent charge transfer also occurred correspondingly. Meanwhile, the Cu4 cluster and Cr2O3 (0001) surface would bond in the form of local polarization to enhance the stability of adsorption configuration.展开更多

Four top adsorption models of H2 on pure and Ti-doped WO3 (002) surfaces are investigated respectively, they are adsorption on bridging oxygen Olc, absorption on plane oxygen O2c, absorption on 5-fold W5c (Ti), and absorption on 6-fold W6c. The most stable and H2 possible adsorption structure in the pure surface is H-end oriented to the surface plane oxygen O2c site, while the favourable adsorption sites for H2 in a Ti-doped surface is not only an O2c site but also a W6c site. The adsorption energy, the Fermi energy level EF, and the electronic population are investigated and the H2-sensing mechanism of a pure-doped WO3 (002) surface is revealed theoretically: the theoretical results are in good accordance with our existing experimental results. By comparing the above three terms, it is found that Ti doping can obviously enhance the adsorption of H2. It can be predicted that the method of Ti-doped into a WO3 thin film is an effective way to improve WO3 sensor sensitivity to H2 gas.展开更多
