Insights into the interaction of nitrobenzene and the Ag(111) surface: A DFT study
This study explores the potential of nitrobenzene as an anolyte material for nonaqueous redox flow batteries (RFBs) by theoretically examining its low-coverage adsorption behavior on neutral and charged Ag(111) model electrode surfaces. At the low coverage limit, DFT calculations show a preference for nitrobenzene to adsorb parallel to the surface, with the benzene ring and nitro group centered over HCP sites. Interactions between nitrobenzene and the surface were analyzed using induced charge density analysis, Bader charge analysis, and projected density of states (PDOS). It was found that nitrobenzene adsorbs primarily through van der Waals interactions with the surface. As nitrobenzene accumulates negative charge, the strength of adsorption diminishes. Understanding the electrode-electrolyte interface is crucial for enhancing RFB electrochemical performance, and this study sheds light on nitrobenzene's interaction with a model Ag electrode.
期刊介绍:
Surface Science is devoted to elucidating the fundamental aspects of chemistry and physics occurring at a wide range of surfaces and interfaces and to disseminating this knowledge fast. The journal welcomes a broad spectrum of topics, including but not limited to:
• model systems (e.g. in Ultra High Vacuum) under well-controlled reactive conditions
• nanoscale science and engineering, including manipulation of matter at the atomic/molecular scale and assembly phenomena
• reactivity of surfaces as related to various applied areas including heterogeneous catalysis, chemistry at electrified interfaces, and semiconductors functionalization
• phenomena at interfaces relevant to energy storage and conversion, and fuels production and utilization
• surface reactivity for environmental protection and pollution remediation
• interactions at surfaces of soft matter, including polymers and biomaterials.
Both experimental and theoretical work, including modeling, is within the scope of the journal. Work published in Surface Science reaches a wide readership, from chemistry and physics to biology and materials science and engineering, providing an excellent forum for cross-fertilization of ideas and broad dissemination of scientific discoveries.
