A theoretical simulation on the catalytic oxidation of CO on Pt/graphene
Literature Information
Yanan Tang
The catalytic oxidation of CO on Pt/X-graphene (X = “pri” for pristine- or “SV” for defective-graphene with a single vacancy) is investigated using the first-principles method based on density functional theory. In contrast to a Pt atom on pristine graphene, a vacancy defect in graphene strongly stabilizes a single Pt adatom and makes the Pt adatom more positively charged, which helps to weaken the CO adsorption and facilitates the O2 adsorption, thus enhancing the activity for CO oxidation and alleviating the CO poisoning of the platinum catalysts. The CO oxidation reaction on Pt/SV-graphene has a low energy barrier (0.58 eV) by the Langmuir–Hinshelwood (LH) reaction (CO + O2 → OOCO → CO2 + Oads) which is followed by the Eley–Rideal (ER) reaction with an energy barrier of 0.59 eV (CO + Oads → CO2). The results validate the reactivity of catalysts on the atomic-scale and initiate a clue for fabricating carbon-based catalysts with low cost and high activity.

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.
