The catalytic degradation of 1,2-dichloroethane (DCE) at CeO2(111) have been investigated by periodic density functional theory calculations corrected by on-site Coulomb interactions, and the surface oxygen vacancies were found to be important by providing the adsorption sites as well as charge transfer to favor the C–Cl bond breaking.

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.

We have studied the effects of surface oxygen and its bond structure on the electronic properties of silicon nanoclusters by means of density functional theory calculations. The results of the energy gap as a function of the nanocluster size in hydrogen-terminated and oxygen-adsorbed silicon clusters provide a well interpretation of several experiments. The nature of electronic and optical properties of silicon nanoclusters has been discussed and attributed to the oxygen in both the Si=O double bond structure and Si–O–Si bridge structure.

Integrating germanium on Si is one of the major challenges of epitaxial growth and presents important applicative interest. Recently, SrTiO3 was adopted as a buffer layer to accommodate the mismatch between Ge and Si. Germanium can take its bulk lattice parameter as soon as the growth begins without threading defects on SrTiO3 surface. However, the details of Ge adsorption on SrTiO3 surface are not clear. In present work, the electronic structures of Ge deposited on the SrTiO3 (001) 2×1 Double Layer (DL) TiO2 surfaces were investigated by means of density functional theory calculations. Several stable adsorption sites are identified. It is found that the germanium adsorption shows site selectivity and causes noticeable surface distortion. The charge transfer from germanium atom to surface contributes to the formation of strong Ge-O bondings and surface metallization.
