Abstract:Periodic density functional theory calculations were performed to investigate the adsorption and activation of CO2 and H-2 over Fe(10 0) surface. Four stable adsorption configurations of CO2 were identified and the energetically most stable adsorption was found to occur on the 4-fold hollow site where the C atom of CO2 sits right above the second layer Fe atom and the two O atoms bound at the center of two Fe-Fe bridge bonds on the surface. H-2 molecule dissociates to H* atoms upon adsorption. Only when H-2 adsorbs on the top sites of the metal surface it can be stabilized in an associative or molecular form. Small energy barriers were found for H-2 dissociation on Fe(10 0) which indicates that H-2 dissociates very fast on the catalyst surface. CO2 adsorption stability could be influenced by the surface coverage of H*. We observed a significant decrease of CO2 adsorption strength when surface H* coverage becomes higher than 2/3 ML.
