ABSTRACTA study has been conducted on the pulsed laser deposition (PLD) of transition metal carbides in order to examine alloying and phase formation in binary systems. Alternating layers of TiC/ZrC and ZrC/VC were deposited at 400 C and 5 mTorr Ar with nominal period thicknesses of 0.6 nm, 10.0 nm, and 50.0 nm. ZrC/VC x-ray diffraction analysis showed that the alloys were amorphous and the TiC/ZrC alloys were crystalline. The thicker films showed a higher degree of phase separation of the two compounds. Transmission electron microscopy confirmed the amorphous structure in the 0.6 nm ZrC/VC film, while the 50.0 nm film showed a layered structure and extremely fine grain size.

<div>CO2 is one of the main actors in the greenhouse effect and its removal from the atmosphere is becoming an urgent need. Thus, CO2 capture and storage (CCS) and CO2 capture and usage (CCU) technologies are intensively investigated as technologies to decrease the concentration</div><div>of atmospheric CO2. Both CCS and CCU require appropriate materials to adsorb/release and adsorb/activate CO2, respectively. Recently, it has been theoretically and experimentally shown that transition metal carbides (TMC) are able to capture, store, and activate CO2. To further improve the adsorption capacity of these materials, a deep understanding of the atomic level processes involved is essential. In the present work, we theoretically investigate the possible effects of surface metal doping of these TMCs by taking TiC as a textbook case and Cr, Hf, Mo, Nb, Ta, V, W, and Zr as dopants. Using periodic slab models with large</div><div>supercells and state-of-the-art density functional theory based calculations we show that CO2 adsorption is enhanced by doping with metals down a group but worsened along the d series. Adsorption sites, dispersion and coverage appear to play a minor, secondary constant effect. The dopant-induced adsorption enhancement is highly biased by the charge rearrangement at the surface. In all cases, CO2 activation is found but doping can shift the desorption temperature by up to 135 K.</div>
