Abstract

By performing first-principles calculations, CO oxidation catalyzed by Fe-embedded defective α-graphyne was systematically investigated. It was found that Fe atoms were strongly anchored at the sp-C vacancy site of α-graphyne with a large binding energy of −5.28 eV and effectively adsorbed and activated O2 molecules. Then, we systematically compared CO oxidation by activated O2via Langmuir–Hinshelwood (LH) and Eley–Rideal (ER) mechanisms. The calculated potential energy surfaces show that the Fe-doped α-graphyne can efficiently oxidize CO via the ER mechanism, in which the threshold of the rate determining step is 0.77 eV. Furthermore, Fe doping shows little effect on the diffusivities of CO, O2, and CO2, which can further enhance its catalytic performance.

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.
