Abstract
Density Functional Theory (DFT) was used to study the process and details of N2 formation on the FeO-MnO2/SiO2 (100) surface during selective catalytic reduction of NH3 (NH3-SCR). The Fe and Mn sites on the surface of the FeO-MnO2/SiO2 (100) play important roles in denitrification. NH3 forms stable chemical adsorption on its surface, especially with stronger adsorption capacity on the Fe sites than on the Mn sites. Furthermore, Fe sites demonstrate better performance in NH3 dehydrogenation reactions in comparison to Mn sites, but the key intermediate NH2NO tends to form on the Mn sites. NH2NO may generate N2 through a dehydrogenation reaction at the Fe sites on the catalyst surface, while it is more inclined to decompose and generate N2 through internal migration on the Mn sites. These results help to deepen the understanding of the micro-mechanism of catalysts in N2 generation, laying a theoretical foundation for improving the denitrification performance and N2 selectivity of catalysts.
期刊介绍:
The aim of the journal is to provide a respectful outlet for ''sound science'' papers in all research areas on surfaces and interfaces. We define sound science papers as papers that describe new and well-executed research, but that do not necessarily provide brand new insights or are merely a description of research results.
Surfaces and Interfaces publishes research papers in all fields of surface science which may not always find the right home on first submission to our Elsevier sister journals (Applied Surface, Surface and Coatings Technology, Thin Solid Films)
