英文摘要: This project focuses on the studies of the methane oxidative coupling reaction as catalyzed by lanthanum oxide-based catalysts, which are promising for industrial applications. Considering the involvement of both homogeneous and heterogeneous processes in this reaction as well as radical reaction processes, large metal oxide clusters displaying the typical surface structures of the catalyst will be constructed for realistic catalyst models. GPU-accelerated density functional theory calculations will be carried out to make reliable predictions. Together with the relevant experimental studies on the surface structures and catalytic mechanisms of these catalysts, catalytic activation mechanisms of methane by various surface active oxygen species as well as the further conversion mechanisms of the intermediates by catalytic and non-catatlytic routes will be thoroughly investigated. The flexibility of cluster-based density functional calculations will be explored, and the key reaction steps will also be studied using periodic slab model for comparison, enabling the construction of comprehensive and reliable catalytic mechanisms for this complex reaction. The effects of catalyst structures on the catalytic activity and product selectivity will be studied, and the effects of metal doping will be investigated for catalyst catalyst rational design. The project will be of great academic value and of general applicability for methane activation and conversion mechanisms on oxide catalysts, surface structures and reactivities of metal oxides, and complex catalytic reaction mechanisms for catalyst rational design.
