CO adsorption on Cu–Pd alloy surfaces: ligandversus ensemble effects
Literature Information
Sung Sakong, Christian Mosch, Axel Groß
The CO adsorption on ordered Cu–Pd alloy surfaces and surface alloys has been studied using density functional theory (DFT) within the framework of the generalized gradient approximation (GGA). On the surface alloys, the CO adsorption energy at the top sites decreases with increasing concentration of the more reactive metal Pd. This surprising ligand effect is caused by the effective compressive strain induced by the larger size of the Pd atoms. On the other hand, at the most favorable adsorption sites the CO binding becomes stronger with increasing Pd concentration which is caused by an ensemble effect related to the availability of higher coordinated adsorption sites. At the surfaces of the bulk alloys, the trends in the adsorption energy as a function of the Pd concentration are less clear because of the strong Pd–Cu interaction and the absence of effective strain effects.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
