Adsorption and growth of palladium clusters on graphdiyne
Literature Information

The density functional formalism has been used to investigate the stability and the properties of small palladium clusters supported on graphdiyne layers. The large triangular holes existing on the graphdiyne structure provide efficient sites to hold the clusters at small distances from the plane of the graphdiyne layer. The cluster adsorption energies, between 3 and 4 eV, are large enough to maintain the clusters tightly bound to the triangular holes. The competition between dispersion of Pd atoms on graphdiyne and growth of Pd clusters in the triangular holes of the layer is also discussed. In addition, the triangular holes can be simultaneously decorated with clusters on both sides. This indicates that palladium clusters could be used to build nanostructures formed by stacked graphdiyne layers with tailored interlayer distances controlled by the size of the clusters. The size of the clusters also controls the electronic HOMO–LUMO gap of the material.

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.
