Ceria has been extensively studied since it has many applications in diverse research fields. However, the mechanism of the hydrogen dynamics, especially the diffusion kinetics on a microscopic level is still unclear as the experimental…
Ceria (CeO2) is a promising catalyst for the reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) to liquid fuels and commodity chemicals, in part because of its high oxygen storage capacity, yet the fundamentals of CO2 adsorption and initial activation on…
The electronic structures of supercells of CeO$_{2-\delta}$ have been calculated within the Density Functional Theory (DFT). The equilibrium properties such as lattice constants, bulk moduli and magnetic moments are well reproduced by the…
The adsorption properties of isolated H$_{2}$O molecule on stoichiometric and reduced (with on-surface oxygen vacancy) ceria(1111) surfaces at low coverage are theoretically investigated by using density-functional-theory+\emph{U}…
The vibrational frequency of carbon monoxide (CO) adsorbed on ceria-based catalysts serves as a sensitive probe for identifying exposed surface facets, provided that experimental reference data on well-defined single-crystal surfaces and…
Recently, the hydrogen adsorption and diffusion on the CeO2 (111) surface have been a vividly discussed topic because of its outstanding catalytic activity and selectivity in hydrogenation reactions. However, for the strongly reduced CeO2…
In this study, the Density of States (DOS) of CeO$_2$ was analyzed in detail using the Density Functional Theory (DFT) method based on VASP software. As an important functional material, CeO$_2$ finds wide applications in catalysis, optics,…
We present calculations of free energy barriers and diffusivities as functions of temperature for the diffusion of hydrogen in bcc-Fe. This is a fully quantum mechanical approach since the total energy landscape is computed using a new self…
In ceria-based catalysis, the shape of the catalyst particle, which determines the exposed crystal facets, profoundly affects its reactivity. The vibrational frequency of adsorbed carbon monoxide (CO) can be used as a sensitive probe to…
There is considerable interest in the pH-dependent, switchable, biocatalytic properties of cerium oxide (CeO2) nanoparticles (CeNPs) in biomedicine, where these materials exhibit beneficial antioxidant activity against reactive oxygen…
High-throughput DFT calculations are key to screening existing/novel materials, sampling potential energy surfaces, and generating quantum mechanical data for machine learning. By including a fraction of exact exchange (EXX), hybrid…
First-principles density-functional theory has been used to investigate equilibrium geometries, total energies, and diffusion barriers for H as an interstitial impurity absorbed in $\alpha$-Fe. Internal strains/stresses upon hydrogen…
While the diffusion of hydrogen on silicon surfaces has been relatively well characterised both experimentally and theoretically, the diffusion around corners between surfaces, as will be found on nanowires and nanostructures, has not been…
Efficient and high capacity storage materials are indispensable for a hydrogen-based economy. In silico tools can accelerate the process of discovery of new adsorbent materials with optimal hydrogen adsorption enthalpies. Density functional…
This study uses the density functional theory (DFT) approach with GGA-PBE to assess the effect of substituting alkali metals in Rb$_{2}$CaH and Cs-doped Rb$_{2}$CaH$_{4}$ on their hydrogen storage potential. To address the challenges…
The electronic, structural, optical, and thermoelectric properties of the Cs2O cubic structure have been investigated using density functional theory (DFT). The calculations utilize a full relativistic version of the full-potential…
Due to the presence of strong static correlation effects and noncovalent interactions, accurate prediction of the electronic and hydrogen storage properties of Li-adsorbed acenes with n linearly fused benzene rings (n = 3 - 8) has been very…
Hydrogen embrittlement mechanisms of steels have been studied for several decades. Understanding hydrogen diffusion behavior in steels is crucial towards both developing predictive models for hydrogen embrittlement and identifying…
