Density functional theory insights to VOCs adsorption mechanism on Ce/CuO modified TiO2(001) surface: A comparative study on toluene and dichloromethane
Toluene and dichloromethane, as representative volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emissions from industrial exhaust gases, have attracted significant scientific attention. This study employs density functional theory (DFT) to investigate the adsorption mechanisms of toluene and dichloromethane on pristine anatase TiO₂(001) and its Ce-doped + CuO-doped surfaces. Results demonstrate that toluene undergoes stable chemisorption on the TiO₂(001) surface. Adsorption is significantly enhanced on both Ce/TiO₂(001) and CuO/TiO₂(001) modified surfaces, characterized by strong electron transfer and stable bonding. The toluene molecule undergoes unstable structural changes on the Ce/TiO2(001) substrate and eventually forms strong chemical bonds with the substrate atoms, indicating a strong adsorption capacity, with an adsorption energy of -190.578 kJ/mol. Dichloromethane also exhibits chemisorption, particularly on Ce/TiO₂(001) and oxygen-bridge CuO/TiO₂(001) surfaces, where it undergoes dechlorination to form Cl and chloromethyl radicals (CH₂Cl•). These radicals subsequently form stable chemical bonds with the surface. The high adsorption energy of dichloromethane on Ce/TiO₂(001) (-510.5 kJ/mol) confirms strong chemisorption. Dechlorination of dichloromethane, producing free Cl that establish stable chemical bonds with Ce atoms, is more advantageous both thermodynamically and kinetically. Subsequently, the CH₂Cl• undergoes an oxidation reaction, with a hydrogen atom being released.
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.
