DFT insights into the adsorption of NH3-SCR related small gases in Mn-MOF-74
Literature Information
Mn-MOF-74 has great potential to catalyze selective catalytic reduction (SCR) reaction with NH3 being the reductant (NH3-SCR). However, the reaction mechanism, in particular the adsorptive properties of key reactive species in Mn-MOF-74, remains ambiguous. Besides, the effects of impurities such as H2O and SO2 on the process need further investigation. In this paper, based on density functional theory (DFT) calculations, we studied the adsorption characteristics of six NH3-SCR related small gases, namely NH3, NO2, NO, O2, H2O and SO2. DFT results show that the Mn-MOF-74 structure can bind these molecules relatively strongly in the following order: NH3 > NO2 > NO > O2, allowing for subsequent NH3-SCR reaction. In addition, a possible pathway of NO conversion to NO2 was calculated. Investigation on competitive adsorption of NH3 and H2O, NH3 and SO2 reveals that both H2O and SO2 are probable to replace NH3 under certain conditions, indicating that the two impurity gases may affect the activity of the NH3-SCR reaction. Compared with H2O, SO2 can displace NH3 more easily and should not be neglected.

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.
