The interactions between water and hydroxyl species on Pt(111) surfaces have been intensely investigated due to their importance to fuel cell electrocatalysis. Here we present a room temperature molecular dynamics study of their structure…

Two dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides appear as good candidates for gas sensing and catalysis. Here, by means of density functional theory, we characterize the adsorption and dissociation of selected diatomic molecules (CO,…

We report on a computational study of the clean and oxygen-covered Rh(110) surface, based on density-functional theory within the local-density approximation. We have used plane-wave basis sets and Vanderbilt ultra-soft pseudopotentials.…

We present a density functional study of the structural and electronic properties of small Cu_n (n=1,4) aggregates on defect-free MgO(100). The calculations employ a slab geometry with periodic boundary conditions, supercells with up to 76…

The adsorption of methanol (CH3OH) at the Fe3O4(001)-c(2x2) surface was studied using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), and temperature-programmed desorption (TPD). CH3OH adsorbs exclusively at…

First principles density functional calculations are used to study the early oxidation stages of the Mg(0001) surface for oxygen coverages 1/16 <= Theta <= 3 monolayers. It is found that at very low coverages O is incorporated below the…

We have carried out a series of helium atom scattering measurements in order to characterise the adsorption properties of hydrogen on antimony(111). Molecular hydrogen does not adsorb at temperatures above 110 K in contrast to…

Magnesium hydride has great potential as a solid hydrogen (H) storage material because of its high H storage capacity of 7.6 wt%. However, its slow hydrogenation and dehydrogenation kinetics and the high temperature of 300 $^\circ$C…

The variation of the work function upon carbon adsorption on the reconstructed Au(110) surface is measured experimentally and compared to density functional calculations. The adsorption dynamics is simulated with ab-initio molecular…

We present a systematic analysis of molecular oxygen (O$_2$) adsorption trends on bimetallic PtNi clusters and their monometallic counterparts supported on MgO(100), by means of periodic DFT calculations for sizes between 25 up to 58 atoms.…

When a slightly defective rutile TiO$_2$(110) surface is exposed to O$_2$ at elevated temperatures, the molecule dissociates at defects, filling O vacancies (\ov) and creating O adatoms (\oad) on {\tifc} rows. The adsorption of molecular…

We present a detailed investigation of the structure and activity of extended defects namely monoatomic steps on (1x1)-TiO2(110). Specifically, the two most stable <001> and <1-11> step edges are considered. Employing an automated genetic…

Gas hydrates are systems of prime importance. In particular, hydrogen hydrates are potential materials of icy satellites and comets, and may be used for hydrogen storage. We explore the H2O-H2 system at pressures in the range 0-100 GPa with…

Oxide-supported single-atom catalysts are commonly modelled as a metal atom substituting surface cation sites in a low-index surface. Adatoms with dangling bonds will inevitably coordinate molecules from the gas phase, and adsorbates such…

Oxygen (O2) adsorbed on metal oxides is important in catalytic oxidation reactions, chemical sensing, and photocatalysis. Strong adsorption requires transfer of negative charge from oxygen vacancies (VOs) or dopants, for example. With…

Using density-functional theory (DFT) we investigate the incorporation of oxygen directly below the Rh(111) surface. We show that oxygen incorporation will only commence after nearly completion of a dense O adlayer (\theta_tot = 1.0…

The interaction of hydrogen with many transition metal surfaces is characterized by a coexistence of activated with non-activated paths to adsorption with a broad distribution of barrier heights. By performing six-dimensional quantum…

Plateaus in water adsorption isotherms on hydroxylated BeO surfaces suggest significant differences between the hydroxylated (100) and (001) surface structures and reactivities. Density functional theory structures and energies clarify…

We investigate the adsorption of molecular hydrogen on pristine zinc oxide (ZnO) platelets. The volumetric and gravimetric hydrogen storage capacities of the ZnO monolayers are evaluated in a broad range of thermodynamic conditions (i.e.,…

The interaction of hydrogen with many transition metal surfaces is characterized by a coexistence of activated with non-activated paths to adsorption with a broad distribution of barrier heights. By performing six-dimensional quantum…
