Two-dimensional (2D) materials have received considerable attention as possible electrodes in Li-ion batteries (LIBs), although a deeper understanding of the Li adsorption behavior as well as broad screening of the materials space is still…
We have investigated ozone adsorption on graphene using the ab initio density functional theory method. Ozone molecules adsorb on graphene basal plane with binding energy of 0.25 eV, and the physisorbed molecule can chemically react with…
We have calculated the adsorption energy of carbon monoxide on a monolayer of copper adsorbed on the (111) face of cubic zirconia. We investigate the structural parameters of three phases of bulk zirconia (cubic, tetragonal, and monoclinic)…
It is found out that there are physical effects, typical of small metal clusters deposited on a non-adsorbing support, that cause a difference between the adsorption properties of sites at the metal cluster surface and those of sites at the…
Molecular adsorption on surfaces plays an important part in catalysis, corrosion, desalination, and various other processes that are relevant to industry and in nature. As a complement to experiments, accurate adsorption energies can be…
By applying density functional theory (DFT) and ab-initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations, we predict the ultrahigh hydrogen storage capacity of K and Ca decorated single-layer biphenylene sheet (BPS). We have kept various alkali and…
Thin molecular films under model conditions are often exploited as benchmarks and case studies to investigate the electronic and structural changes occurring on the surface of metallic electrodes. Here we show that the modification of a…
We have used a combination of density functional theory (DFT) and kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) simulations to calculate the reaction rates for the selective oxidation of ammonia on RuO2(110). We find that the overall energy barrier for NH3 + O…
Chemisorption of hydrogen on graphene is studied using atomistic simulations with the second generation of reactive empirical bond order Brenner inter-atomic potential. The lowest energy adsorption sites and the most important metastable…
We have investigated theoretically the adsorption of molecules onto graphene with divacancy defects. Using ab-initio density functional calculations, we have found that O2, CO, N2, B2 and H2O molecules all interact strongly with a divacancy…
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with ultra-small pores offer an optimal environment to effectively capture guest molecules such as CO2. Subtle local dynamics of their frameworks, either throughout reorientation of functional groups grafted…
We report the optical absorption characteristics and the photocurrent spectra for large-area molecular junctions containing different molecular structures and thicknesses. Through experimental assessment of the optical absorption of…
We have carried out optical-absorption and reflectance measurements at room temperature in single crystals of AWO4 tungstates (A = Ba, Ca, Cd, Cu, Pb, Sr, and Zn). From the experimental results their band-gap energy has been determined to…
The existence of intrinsic vacancies in cubic (monoclinic) TiO suggests opportunity for hydrogen absorption, which was addressed in recent experiments. In the present work, based on first principle calculations, the preferences are studied…
We study the effects of H2O on CO2 adsorption in an amine-appended variant of the metal-organic framework Mg2(dobpdc), which is known to exhibit chaining behavior that presents in a step-shaped adsorption isotherm. We first show how the…
Adsorption of hydrogen atoms on a single graphite sheet (graphene) has been investigated by first-principles electronic structure means, employing plane-wave based, periodic density functional theory. A reasonably large 5x5 surface unit…
The oxidation of CO on single Pd atoms anchored to MgO(100) surface oxygen vacancies is studied with temperature-programmed-reaction mass-spectrometry and infrared spectroscopy. In one-heating-cycle experiments CO$_2$, formed from O$_2$ and…
We report on results of a theoretical study of the adsorption process of a single carbon oxide molecule on a Platinum (111) surface. A four-component relativistic density functional method was applied to account for a proper description of…
The adsorption kinetics of CO on PdAu bimetallic clusters, containing 140 $\pm$ 12 atoms and a composition varying between 0% and 55% of Pd atoms, is investigated by a pulsed molecular beam method (MBRS). The clusters are grown on a…
Chandra high-resolution spectra toward eight low-mass Galactic binaries have been analyzed with a photoionization model that is capable of determining the physical state of the interstellar medium. Particular attention is given to the…
