Zinc phosphides (ZnP2 and Zn3P2) are emerging absorber materials for photovoltaic applications owing to their abundancy and non-toxic nature. Herein, we provide a comprehensive characterisation of the surface structure, composition,...

The adsorption and dissociation of water molecules on two-dimensional transition metal dichalco- genides (TMDs) is expected to be dominated by point defects, such as vacancies, and edges. At the same...

The adsorption properties of isolated H2O molecule on stoichiometric and reduced ceria(111) surfaces are theoretically investigated by first-principles calculations and molecular dynamics simulations. We find that the most stable adsorption configurations form two hydrogen bonds between the adsorbate and substrate. The water molecule is very inert on the stoichiometric surface unless up to a high temperature of 600 K. For the reduced surface, we find that the oxygen vacancy enhances the interaction. Moreover, simulations at low temperature of 100 K confirm that it is facilitated for water to dissociate into H and OH species.

The success of density functional theory for the description of the adsorption of atoms on surfaces is well established and, based on recent calculations using gradient corrections, it has been shown that it also describes well the dissociative adsorption of molecules at surfaces — admittedly, however, the database for reactions at surfaces is still somewhat small. In this paper the power of density functional theory calculations is demonstrated through investigations for two different adsorption systems, namely one with a strongly electropositive adsorbate [Na on Al(111)] and one with a strongly electronegative adsorbate [O on Ru(0001)]. In each case, new hitherto unexpected adsorbate phases have been predicted by the theory: for Na on Al(111) the stability of a “four-layer” surface alloy was identified while for O on Ru(0001) it was predicted that the formation of a (1×1)-O adlayer should be possible which implies that the apparent saturation coverage of Θo=1/2 is due to kinetic hindering.

Interaction of water with Cu2O has many prominent industrial and environmental applications. This study represents detailed density-functional theory calculations investigating the adsorption of a water molecule on a Cu2O(110):CuO surface; one of the two most stable Cu2O surfaces under practical catalytic conditions of temperatures and pressures. We report herein structural geometries and binding energies for all plausible molecular and dissociative interaction of H2O with the surface. The water molecule is found to interact weakly with the Cu2O(110):CuO surface, forming several vertical and flat orientations where the latter was found to offer the most preferred site with a binding energy at 0.389 eV. Dissociation of a water molecule on this surface is found to incur a modest endothermcity of 0.71 eV.
