Based on the density functional theory calculations, the formation geometry, electronic properties, and catalytic activity of metal impurities in divacancy graphene (M-DG, M = Mo, Fe, Co, and Ni) were systematically investigated. It has been found that the reactive gases have different stabilities on M-DG substrates, and these quite stable substrates exhibit high catalytic activity for CO oxidation by comparing the traditional Eley–Rideal (ER) and Langmuir–Hinshelwood (LH), as well as the new termolecular ER (TER) mechanisms. For the Co-DG substrate, the coadsorption of O2 and CO as a starting step is an energetically more favorable process, whereas the dissociation reaction of O2 molecules on Mo-DG substrate has a much smaller energy barrier, and the generation of atomic oxygen is active for CO oxidation. These results indicate that the varied adsorption behaviors of reactive gases on M-DG substrates can determine the catalytic pathways and energy barriers, which give us insight into the surface reactivity of graphene–metal composite catalysis in energy-related devices.

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.
