要旨

The adsorption and co-adsorption of CO and H2 at different coverage on the CdI2-antitype metallic Mo2C(001) surface termination have been systematically computed at the level of periodic density functional theory. Only molecular CO adsorption is possible and the monolayer coverage (1 ML) can have 16CO adsorbed at the top sites. Dissociative H2 adsorption is favored thermodynamically and the monolayer coverage (1 ML) can have 16H adsorbed at the hollow sites. Since CO has much stronger adsorption energy than H2, pre-adsorption of CO is possible. CO pre-adsorption strongly affects atomic hydrogen co-adsorption at a high CO/H2 ratio, while hardly affects that at a low CO/H2 ratio. Under ultra-high vacuum conditions (200 K, 10−12 atm and CO/H2 = 1/1), the most stable adsorbed surface state has CO/H2 = 15/1. Comparison among the metallic terminations of the CdI2-antitype Mo2C(001), eclipsed Mo2C(001) and orthorhombic Mo2C(100) surfaces shows their different CO and hydrogen adsorption as well as activation properties, which reveals that the CdI2-antitype Mo2C(001) surface is least active. These differences come from their surface bonding properties; the CdI2-antitype Mo2C(001) surface is saturated and less metallic, while the eclipsed Mo2C(001) and orthorhombic Mo2C(100) surfaces are unsaturated and more metallic.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
