A Theoretical Study of O2 Adsorption and Dissociation on Cu2O (111) Surface
Translated Abstract
Interaction of atomic and molecular oxygen with perfect and defective Cu20 (111) surfaces has been studied by periodic density functional theory coupled with slab models. Different kinds of possible modes of O and O2 adsorbed on Cu2O (111) surface and possible dissociation pathways were calculated. Meanwhile, different electronic states, i.e., the singlet and the triplet states were considered in the computation. The optimization of the geometry, calculation of the adsorption energy, vibrational frequency and analysis of the Mulliken population were carried out. The results indicate that CuCSA site is slightly more favorable than CuCUS for O adsorption, and forO2 adsorption over perfect surface, CuCUS site is the most advantageous position, especially for O2 with end-on type. For O2 adsorption over the deficient surface, it has a larger adsorption energy compared to O2 adsorption over the perfect surface and the O-O bond strength is considerably weakened when 05 lies flatly on the oxygen vacancy site and lies flatly over 1-vacancy bridge site. And the oxygen adspecies is characteristic of a classicalO2- ion on perfect surface, whereas is O22- ion on oxygen-deficient surface. The calculations for transition states show that the dissociation reaction of O2 on deficient surface is highly exothermic with a very small barrier height.
