Methane Dissociation

The mechanism of methane dissociation on an Rh-decorated Ni(100) surface has been investigated Using density functional theory. The study includes the determination of the most stable adsorbate/adsorbent configurations of the species associated with subsequent reactions and generating the energy surface for 𝐶𝐻4 dissociation process. The Rhdecorated Ni(100) surface was found to be more favorable for the process than the NiRh(111) configuration, mainly due to lower the activation energy of 𝐶𝐻 decomposition reaction by 48.5%, leading to a higher conversion of 𝐶𝐻4 to carbon and hydrogen

The Ideal

Density functional theory is used to determine the possible crystal structure of the CaSiO3 perovskites and their evolution under pressure. The ideal cubic perovskite is considered as a starting point for studying several possible lower-symmetry distorted structures. The theoretical lattice parameters and the atomic coordinates for all the structures are determined, and the results are discussed with respect to experimental data.

High Level

The transition states for the H 2 NO decomposition and rearrangements mechanisms have been explored by the CBS-Q method or by density functional theory. Six transition states were located on the potential energy surface, which were explored with the Quadratic Complete Basis Set (CBS-Q) and Becke's one-parameter density functional hybrid methods. Interesting deviations between the CBS-Q results and the B1LYP density functional theory lead us to believe that further study into this system is necessary. In the efforts to further assess the stabilities of the transition states, bond order calculations were performed to measure the strength of the bonds in the transition state.
