Abstract
The direct synthesis of hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) from hydrogen (H 2 ) and oxygen (O 2 ) on Pd(111), Pd(100), and Pd(110) surfaces was investigated using periodic density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Several elementary steps making up this reaction were postulated and calculated. The Pd(111) surface shows the highest catalytic selectivity for H 2 O 2 among the three surfaces. Open surfaces such as Pd(100) and Pd(110) are not favorable for this reaction because O–O-containing species on these surfaces dissociate easily. The O–O bond energy and the binding energy of O–O-containing surface species are responsible for catalytic selectivity. The higher binding energy of O–O-containing surface species is not favorable for the direct synthesis of H 2 O 2 because the higher binding energy results in lower dissociation barriers. 采用周期性密度泛函理论研究了H 2 和O 2 在Pd(111), Pd(100)及Pd(110)表面上直接合成H 2 O 2 的反应机理, 对反应的主要基元步骤进行了计算和分析. 结果表明, Pd(111)表面对H 2 O 2 直接合成的催化选择性最好, 表面原子密度较低的Pd(100)表面和Pd(110)表面上含有O–O键的表面物种解离严重, 不利于H 2 O 2 的生成. H 2 O 2 的选择性与含有O–O键表面物种的O–O键能和表面物种的结合能有关. 含有O–O键的表面物种在表面的结合能越大, 越容易发生解离, 不利于形成H 2 O 2 . It is described that the direct synthesis of H 2 O 2 from H 2 and O 2 on Pd(111), Pd(100), and Pd(110) surfaces using density functional theory calculations. Pd(111) exhibits the highest selectivity for H 2 O 2 among the three surfaces.
