AbstractFinding the active sites of suitable metal oxides is a key prerequisite for detecting CH$$_4$$ 4 . The purpose of the paper is to investigate the adsorption of CH$$_4$$ 4 on intrinsic and oxygen-vacancies CuO (111) and (110) surfaces using density functional theory calculations. The results show that CH$$_4$$ 4 has a strong adsorption energy of −0.370 to 0.391 eV at all site on the CuO (110) surface. The adsorption capacity of CH$$_4$$ 4 on CuO (111) surface is weak, ranging from −0.156 to −0.325 eV. In the surface containing oxygen vacancies, the adsorption capacity of CuO surface to CH$$_4$$ 4 is significantly stronger than that of intrinsic CuO surface. The results indicate that CuO (110) has strong adsorption and charge transfer capacity for CH$$_4$$ 4 , which may provide experimental guidance.

Single-atom catalysis, which utilizes single atoms as active sites, is one of promising ways to enhance the catalytic activity and to reduce the amount of precious metals used. Here by means of density functional theory based thermodynamics we show that the single platinum atoms preferentially adsorb on the substitutional carbon sites at the hydrogen terminated graphene edge.

In our Ru1–N1/TiO2 single-atom catalyst system, isolated Ru1 atoms act as active sites for the reduction of protons, and the TiO2 support offers the photogenerated carriers, allowing for a hydrogen evolution activity comparable to that of Pd.
