Abstract
The construction of active sites with low loadings of noble and nonnoble metals is regarded as a promising strategy for the rational design of catalysts. Herein, we investigated the Pt-doped Co(111) surfaces and the characteristics of CO adsorption on Ptn/Co(111) (n = 0–3) using Density Functional Theory. The research results indicate that the stable structures with surface cobalt atoms substituted by platinum atoms have a platinum coverage not exceeding 1/2 ML. In addition, an examination of the adsorption behavior of CO on Ptn/CO (111) (n = 0–3) surfaces was conducted. The determined adsorption energies for CO on four surfaces were −1.707, 1.712, −1.667, and −1.647 eV, respectively. Notably, the sequence of adsorption energy is as follows: Pt/Co(111) > Co(111) > Pt2/Co(111) > Pt3/Co(111). The study confirms that optimal CO adsorption energy on the Co (111) surface is achieved with a single Pt atom doping, indicating potential for high catalytic activity even at low rates of Pt loading.
期刊介绍:
Since its first formulation quantum chemistry has provided the conceptual and terminological framework necessary to understand atoms, molecules and the condensed matter. Over the past decades synergistic advances in the methodological developments, software and hardware have transformed quantum chemistry in a truly interdisciplinary science that has expanded beyond its traditional core of molecular sciences to fields as diverse as chemistry and catalysis, biophysics, nanotechnology and material science.
