Abstract

Activation of CO2 is the first step towards its reduction to more useful chemicals. Here we systematically investigate the CO2 activation mechanism on Cu3X (X is a first-row transition metal atom) using density functional theory computations. The CO2 adsorption energies and the activation mechanisms depend strongly on the selected dopant. The dopant electronegativity, the HOMO–LUMO gap and the overlap of the frontier molecular orbitals control the CO2 dissociation efficiency. Our calculations reveal that early transition metal-doped (Sc, Ti, V) clusters exhibit a high CO2 adsorption energy, a low activation barrier for its dissociation, and a facile regeneration of the clusters. Thus, early transition metal-doped copper clusters, particularly Cu3Sc, may be efficient catalysts for the carbon capture and utilization process.

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.
