How low can you go? Minimum energy pathways for O2 dissociation on Pt(111)
Literature Information
J.-S. McEwen, J. M. Bray
Many DFT studies of O2 dissociation on Pt(111) give conflicting information on preferred paths and final states. Here we report large p(4 × 4) unit cell minimum energy pathway evaluations and compare O2 adsorption and dissociated states on Pt(111). Calculations reveal how the pathways for O2 dissociation starting from top-fcc-bridge, top-hcp-bridge, and top-bridge-top sites are interconnected. They also provide a direct reaction pathway for the dissociation of an O2 molecule from a top-fcc-bridge into an hcp and an fcc site, which is consistent with low temperature scanning tunneling microscope experiments. Such a pathway is shown to be considerably perturbed by the presence of co-adsorbed oxygen atoms. We quantify the coverage dependence through the construction of a Brønsted–Evans–Polanyi relationship relating the O2 dissociation activation energies to the binding energies of the dissociated O atoms. We also show that all pathways starting from a top-fcc-bridge site give the smallest barriers for O2 dissociation.

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.
