中文摘要: 固体催化剂在生产可持续能源和保护环境清洁等领域起着重要作用。暴露在固体催化剂表面的晶面是影响其催化性能的一个关键因素。CeO2负载贵金属团簇(贵金属团簇/CeO2)催化剂的催化性能对CeO2晶面的强烈依赖性得到了大量实验验证及初步理论关注,但是其微观机制仍亟需进一步深入探索。本项目拟利用基于密度泛函理论的第一性原理方法,从原子层次和电子结构方面对比研究贵金属团簇在CeO2三个最稳定晶面的吸附,阐明贵金属团簇/CeO2界面几何结构和电子结构对CeO2晶面的依赖性;进一步对比研究反应相关气体分子在界面的吸附,阐明贵金属团簇/CeO2界面化学活性对CeO2晶面的依赖性。本项目的研究将为揭示贵金属团簇/CeO2催化剂催化性能对CeO2晶面的依赖性的微观机制提供理论参考,对设计和开发实用高效贵金属团簇/CeO2催化剂具有重要理论价值。

英文摘要: Solid catalysts play important roles in the fields, such as producing sustainable energies and keeping environments clean. The crystal plane exposed on the surface of solid catalysts is a key factor controlling their catalytic performances. Lots of experiments have shown that the catalytic performance of the catalysts of noble-metal clusters supported on CeO2 (noble-metal clusters/CeO2) is strongly dependent on the crystal plane of CeO2, which also preliminarily gains theoretical attention. However, there is an urgent need for further exploring the relevant microscopic mechanisms. By using first-principles calculations based on density functional theory, the current project from the atomic level and the electronic structure will comparatively investigate the adsorption of noble-metal clusters on the three most stable CeO2 surface and clarify the dependence of geometrical and electronic structures of the noble-metal clusters/CeO2 interfaces on the crystal plane of CeO2. Furthermore, we will comparatively investigate the adsorption of the gas molecules involved in the reaction at the noble-metal clusters/CeO2 interfaces and clarify the dependence of chemical activities of the interfaces on the crystal plane of CeO2. The project will provide a theoretical reference for unrevealing the microscopic mechanism behind the dependence of the catalytic performances of the noble-metal clusters/CeO2 catalysts on the crystal plane of CeO2, and has important theoretical value in designing and developing the practical and efficient noble-metal clusters/CeO2 catalysts.
