Abstract As the technology development, the future advanced combustion engines must be designed to perform at a low temperature. Thus, it is a great challenge to synthesize high active and stable catalysts to resolve exhaust below 100 °C. Here, we report that bismuth as a dopant added to form platinum-bismuth cluster on silica for CO oxidation. The highly reducible oxygen species provided by surface metal-oxide (M-O) interface could be activated by CO at low temperature (~ 50 °C) with a high CO2 production rate of 487 µmolCO2·gPt−1·s− 1 at 110 °C. Experiment data combined with density functional calculation (DFT) results demonstrate that Pt cluster with surface Pt−O−Bi structure is the active site for CO oxidation via providing moderate CO adsorption and activating CO molecules with electron transformation between platinum atom and carbon monoxide. These findings provide a novel and general approach towards design of potential outstanding performance catalysts for redox reaction.

This work examines mechanisms of low-temperature CO oxidation over a single binding site of atomically dispersed Pt on rutile TiO2 (110) using density functional theory and the energetic span model (ESM). Of the 12 distinct pathways spanning Eley- Rideal (ER), termolecular ER (TER), Langmuir-Hinshelwood (LH), Mars-Van Krevelen (MvK) mechanisms as well as their combinations, TER with CO-assisted CO2 desorption yields the highest turnover frequency (TOF). However, this pathway is ruled out because Pt is dynamically unstable in an intermediate state in the TER cycle, determined in a prior ab initio molecular dynamics study by our group. We instead find, depending on reaction conditions, that either H1 is rendered inactive upon CO adsorption or the ER mechanism is preferred if O2 dissociatively adsorbs. ER exhibits the second highest TOF and the TOF-determining state is in qualitative agreement with experiment. TOFs for all MvK pathways are several orders of magnitude lower than ER and LH. By comparing TOFs for Pt1/TiO2 with prior mechanistic studies of various oxide-supported atomically dispersed catalysts in the literature, we identify the most active metal and support materials for low-temperature CO oxidation.

Density functional calculations have been performed for the carbon monoxide molecule adsorption on AunPd+m(n+m ≤ 6) clusters. In the process of CO adsorption, small Au clusters and Pd clusters tend to be an Au atom and three Pd atoms adsorption, respectively. For the mixed Au-Pd clusters, an Au atom, a Pd atom, two atoms consisted of an Au atom and a Pd atom, two Pd atoms, and three Pd atoms adsorption structures are displayed. The highest occupied molecular orbital-lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (HOMO-LUMO) gaps and natural bond orbital charge population are calculated. Moreover, CO adsorption energy, CO stretching frequency, and CO bond length (upon adsorption) are also analysed in detail. The results predict that the adsorption strength of Au clusters with CO and the C-O vibration strength is enhanced and reduced after doping of Pd in the AunPdmCO+ complexes, respectively

Atomic adsorptions of N, C and O on silicene and molecular adsorptions of N2 and CO on silicene have been investigated using the density functional theory (DFT) calculations. For the atomic adsorptions, we find that the N atom has the most stable adsorption with a higher adsorption energy of 8.207 eV. For the molecular adsorptions, we find that the N2 molecule undergoes physisorption while the CO molecule undergoes chemisorption, the corresponding adsorption energies for N2 and CO are 0.085 and 0.255 eV, respectively. Therefore, silicene exhibits more reactivity towards the CO adsorption than the N2 adsorption. The differences of charge density and the integrated charge calculations suggest that the charge transfer for CO adsorption ([Formula: see text]0.015[Formula: see text]) is larger than that for N2 adsorption ([Formula: see text]0.005[Formula: see text]). This again supports that CO molecule is more active than N2 molecule when they are adsorbed onto silicene.

ABSTRACTIt is generally accepted that CO oxidation on transition metals follows a Langmuir-Hinshelwood mechanism. The oxidation reaction takes place in two sequential steps where the oxygen molecule first dissociates into atomic oxygen and then reacts with an adsorbed CO to form CO2. One critical question concerning the reaction kinetics under high pressure is the probability of oxygen dissociation on a highly CO covered surface. On bare transition metal surfaces, molecularly adsorbed oxygen readily dissociates with little or no apparent activation barrier. In industrial diesel engine catalysis, the metal surface is initially packed with CO. Subsequent reactions such as oxygen dissociation must take place on a CO covered surface. In this paper, we performed density functional theory (DFT) calculations for O2 dissociation on Pt(111) in the presence of different CO adsorption environments. While several stable O2 molecular precursor states (top-bridge-top, top-fcc-bridge, and top-hcp-bridge) exist on a clean Pt(111) surface, these precursors become endothermic beyond a critical CO coverage of ∼0.44 ML. Furthermore, the reaction path for CO oxidation via dissociated atomic oxygen becomes less favorable at higher CO coverage, primarily due to competitive adsorption and lateral repulsion. It was found that the oxygen dissociation barrier and the binding energies of atomic oxygen are well correlated via the Evans-Polanyi relationship.

The nanotubular structures of IrO2 and Ir metal were successfully synthesized without any template. First, IrO2 nanotubes were prepared by electrospinning and post-calcination, where a fine control of synthetic conditions (e.g., precursor concentration and solvent composition in electrospinning solution, temperature increasing rate for calcination) was required. Then, a further thermal treatment of IrO2 nanotubes under hydrogen gas atmosphere produced Ir metal nanotubes. The electroactivity of the resultant Ir metal nanotubes was investigated toward carbon monoxide (CO) oxidation using linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) and amperometry. The anodic current response of Ir metal nanotubes was linearly proportional to CO concentration change, with a high sensitivity and a short response time. The amperometric sensitivity of Ir metal nanotubes for CO sensing was greater than a nanofibrous counterpart (i.e., Ir metal nanofibers) and commercial Pt (20 wt% Pt loading on carbon). Density functional theory calculations support stronger CO adsorption on Ir(111) than Pt(111). This study demonstrates that metallic Ir in a nanotubular structure is a good electrode material for the amperometric sensing of CO.
