Results of recent density functional theory calculations for alkali metal adsorbates on close-packed metal surfaces are discussed. Single adatoms on the (111) surface of Al and Cu are studied with the self-consistent surface Green-function…
Surface adsorption, which is often coupled with surface dissolution, is generally unpredictable on alloys due to the complicated alloying and dissolution effects. Herein, we introduce the electronic gradient and cohesive properties of…
Surface adsorption is one of the fundamental processes in numerous fields, including catalysis, environment, energy and medicine. The development of an adsorption model which provides an effective prediction of binding energy in minutes has…
The dissociative adsorption of methane on variously oxidized Pd, Pt and Pd-Pt surfaces is investigated using density-functional theory, as a step towards understanding the combustion of methane on these materials. For Pd-Pt alloys, models…
We use density functional theory (DFT) with the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) and our first-principles extrapolation method for accurate chemisorption energies {[Mason {\em et al.}, Phys. Rev. B {\bf 69}, 161401R (2004)]} to…
We demonstrate that variations in molecular chemisorption energy on different metals, different surface terminations, and different strain conditions can be accounted for by orbital-specific changes in the substrate electronic structure.…
We formulate the theory of the perturbation caused by an adsorbate upon the substrate lattice in terms of a local modification of the interatomic potential energy around the adsorption site, which leads to the relaxation of substrate atoms.…
Adsorption and catalytic properties of the polar (111) surface of transition-metal carbides (TMC's) are investigated by density-functional theory. Atomic and molecular adsorption are rationalized with the concerted-coupling model, in which…
The success of density functional theory for the description of the adsorption of atoms on surfaces is well established, and based on recent calculations using gradient corrections, it has been shown that it also describes well the…
The adsorption of CO molecules at the Ca3Ru2O7(001) surface was studied using low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and density functional theory (DFT). Ca3Ru2O7 can be easily cleaved along the (001) plane, yielding a smooth,…
Theoretical calculations based on density functional theory have made significant contributions to our understanding of metal oxides, their surfaces, and the binding of molecules at these surfaces. In this paper we investigate the binding…
The description of the chemical bond between a solid surface and an atom or a molecule is the fundamental basis for understanding a broad range of scientific problems in heterogeneous catalysis, semiconductor device fabrication, and fuel…
We have studied the trends in CO adsorption on close-packed metal surfaces: Co, Ni, Cu from the 3d row, Ru, Rh, Pd, Ag from the 4d row and Ir, Pt, Au from the 5d row using density functional theory. In particular, we were concerned with the…
The adsorption equilibrium constants of monovalent and divalent cations to material surfaces in aqueous media are central to many technological, natural, and geochemical processes. Cation adsorption/desorption is often proposed to occur in…
The theory of statistical-mechanical lattice-gas modeling of adsorption is reviewed and shown to be applicable to a range of electrochemical problems dominated by effective, lateral adsorbate--adsorbate interactions. A general strategy for…
Nowadays, electrochemical reduction of CO$_2$ has been considered as an effective method to solve the problem of global warming. The primary challenge in studying the mechanism is to determine the adsorption states of CO$_2$, since…
Extensive density-functional calculations are performed for chemisorption of atoms in the three first periods (H, B, C, N, O, F, Al, Si, P, S, and Cl) on the polar TiC(111) surface. Calculations are also performed for O on TiC(001), for…
Adsorption of the molecule CO on metallic surfaces is an important unsolved problem in Kohn-Sham density functional theory (KS-DFT). We present a detailed study of carbon monoxide adsorption on fcc (111) surfaces of 3d, 4d and 5d metals…
Copper is a good CO2 electroreduction catalyst as products beyond CO form, but efficiency and selectivity is low. Experiments have shown that admixture of other elements can help, and computational screening studies have pointed out various…
Understanding how the local environment of a single-atom catalyst affects stability and reactivity remains a significant challenge. We present an in-depth study of Cu1, Ag1, Au1, Ni1, Pd1, Pt1, Rh1, and Ir1 species on Fe3O4(001); a model…
