AbstractSolid surfaces are used extensively as catalysts throughout the chemical industry, in the energy sector, and in environmental protection. Recently, density functional theory has started providing new insight into the atomic-scale mechanisms of heterogeneous catalysis, helping to interpret the large amount of experimental data gathered during the last decades. This article shows how density functional theory can be used to describe the state of the surface during reactions and the rate of catalytic reactions. It will also show how we are beginning to understand the variation in catalytic activity from one transition metal to the next. Finally, the prospects of using calculations to guide the development of new catalysts in industry will be discussed.

The adsorption of AuxCuy (x + y = 1, 2, 3) nanoclusters on the anatase TiO2(101) surface were studied in detail using density functional theory. The introduction of Cu atoms in Au clusters not only significantly reduces the cost, but also changes the catalytic process of Au/TiO2, which may be helpful to some catalytic reactions.
