More attention needs to be drawn to the high application value of the gasification reaction between carbonaceous materials and water in industry. In this study, density functional theory is used to investigate the adsorption and reaction mechanism of water molecules on graphene surfaces with various kinds of defects. The desorption mechanism of the reaction product is also analyzed. The optimal and stable physical adsorption configuration of water molecules on the pristine graphene and various defects graphene surface has been determined. Chemisorption configurations of a single water molecule and double water molecules on the graphene surface with single vacancy defects are discussed and used as reaction precursors to explore the reaction path of water molecules in the process of desorbing hydrogen at active sites. The whole process of the reaction is largely exothermic and the thermodynamic advantages of double water molecules participating in the reaction are determined. The two reaction mechanisms of two-steps or co-adsorption and desorption of double water molecules are compared, and the lowest energy barrier advantage of the latter is determined.

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.
