H2S adsorption and dissociation on MoP(010) were investigated using density functional theory (DFT) together with periodic slab models. Several different possibilities for H2S, SH, S and H adsorption were considered. Our results show that the H2S, SH and H prefer to adsorb at bridge site, while S adsorbs preferentially at hcp and bridge sites. Additionally, the optimum co-adsorption configurations for SH/H and S/H were determined. The results indicate that the co-adsorbed species repel each other slightly on MoP(010) surface. Finally, the potential energy profile of H2S dissociation on MoP(010) surface was given out. The dissociation energy barriers of the S–H bond scission exhibit that H2S prefers to dissociate on MoP(010) surface. When compared with MoP(001) surface, the obvious differences in H2S decomposition arise demonstrate that the MoP-based catalysts are structure-sensitive.

<p>We investigate the mechanism of direct CO<sub>2</sub> hydrogenation to methanol on Pd (111), (100) and (110) surfaces using density functional theory (DFT), providing insight into the reactivity of CO<sub>2</sub> on Pd-based catalysts. The initial chemisorption of CO<sub>2</sub>, forming a partially charged CO<sub>2</sub><sup>δ-</sup>, is weakly endothermic on a Pd (111) surface, with an adsorption energy of 0.06 eV, and slightly exothermic on Pd (100) and (110) surfaces, with adsorption energies of -0.13 and -0.23 eV, respectively. Based on Mulliken analysis, we attribute the low stability of CO<sub>2</sub><sup>δ-</sup><sub> </sub>on the Pd (111) surface to a negative charge that accumulates on the surface Pd atoms interacting directly with the CO<sub>2</sub><sup>δ-</sup><sub> </sub>adsorbate. For the reaction of the adsorbed species on the Pd surface, HCOOH hydrogenation to H<sub>2</sub>COOH is predicted to be the rate determining step of the conversion to methanol in all cases, with activation barriers of 1.35, 1.26, and 0.92 eV on Pd (111), (100) and (110) surfaces, respectively.<br></p>

To understand the chemical origin of platinum promotion effects on iron based Fischer–Tropsch synthesis catalysts, the effects of Pt on CO adsorption and dissociation as well as surface carbon hydrogenation on the Fe5C2(100) facet with different surface C* contents have been studied using the spin-polarized density functional theory method.

Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed to examine the reaction pathway of Ni-catalyzed cross-coupling with organoaluminum through C–O bond cleavage. The results indicate that the strong Lewis acidity of organoaluminums significantly facilitates the transmetalation step, but not the oxidative addition or reductive elimination step.
