CO oxidation reaction mechanisms and energetics are examined on adsorbed Pd-4 and Rh-4 clusters and adsorbed Pd and Rh atoms on CeO2 and Ce0.75Zr0.25 O-2 support structures using DFT methods. Activation barriers and TS structures are computed with CI-NEB method. On cluster adsorbed systems, Zr affects CO binding position and O-2 adsorption mode. Energetically, formation of two CO2 molecules without barrier and surface regeneration is possible only on Pd-4-CeO2 surface. With metal atom substituted surfaces, Pd substituted Ce0.75Zr0.25O2 and CeO2 supports are found to be capable of completing catalytic cycle with consecutive CO oxidations by creating and filling surface oxygen vacancies.

A DFT Study of Direct Oxidation of Benzene to Phenol by N2O over [Fe(mu-O)Fe](2+) Complexes in ZSM-5 Zeolite Fellah, Mehmet Ferdi; Pidko, Evgeny A.; van Santen, Rutger A.; Önal, Işık (2011-05-19) Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were carried out in a study of the mechanism of benzene oxidation by N2O to phenol over an extra framework dimeric [FeOFe](2+) species in ZSM-5 zeolite represented by a [Si6Al2O9H14(Fe(mu-O)Fe)] cluster model. The catalytic reactivity of such a binuclear species is compared with that of mononuclear Fe2+ and (FeO)(+) sites in ZSM-5 investigated in our earlier works at the same level of theory (J. Phys. Chem. C 2009, 113, 15307; 2010, 114, 12580). The activation en...
A quantum chemical study of nitric oxide reduction by ammonia (SCR reaction) on V2O5 catalyst surface

Soyer, Sezen; Uzun, Alper; Senkan, Selim; Önal, Işık (2006-12-15)

The reaction mechanism for the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of nitric oxide by ammonia on (010) V2O5 surface represented by a V2O9H8 cluster was simulated by means of density functional theory (DFT) calculations performed at B3LYP/6-31G** level. The computations indicated that SCR reaction consisted of three main parts. For the first part, ammonia activation on V2O5 was investigated. Ammonia was adsorbed on Bronsted acidic V-OH site as NH4+ species by a non-activated process with an exothermic relati...
A Density Functional Theory Study of Direct Oxidation of Benzene to Phenol by N2O on a [FeO](1+)-ZSM-5 Cluster Fellah, Mehmet Ferdi; Önal, Işık; van Santen, Rutger A. (2010-07-29) Density functional theory calculations were carried out in a study of the oxidation of benzene to phenol by N2O on a model (FeO)(1+)-ZSM-5 cluster: the [(SiH3)(4)AlO4(FeO)] cluster. This cluster models the reactivity of Fe3+ oxidic clusters. Results are to be compared with an earlier study (J. Phys. Chem. C 2009, 113, 15307) on a model Fe2+-ZSM-5 cluster. The true activation energies for the elementary reaction step in which phenol is produced appear to be comparable. The major difference between the two sy...
A density functional theory study of partial oxidation of propylene on Cu2O(001) and CuO(001) surfaces Duzenli, Derya; Atmaca, Deniz Onay; Gezer, Miray Gulbiter; Önal, Işık (2015-11-15) This work theoretically investigates propylene epoxidation reaction on Cu2O(001) and CuO(001) surfaces using periodical DFT method to determine the active copper species within the reaction mechanism. The transition states and energy profiles are calculated for the formation of surface intermediates such as oxametallopropylene (OMP) over Cu2O(0 0 1) and oxygen bridging (OB) over CuO(0 0 1) and allylic H-stripping reaction (AHS) over both surfaces as well as for formation of products. Propylene oxide (PO) an...
Investigation of ruthenium-copper bimetallic catalysts for direct epoxidation of propylene: A DFT study Kizilkaya, Ali Can; Senkan, Selim; Önal, Işık (2010-09-01) Propylene epoxidation reactions are carried out on Ru-Cu(1 1 1) and Cu(1 1 1) surfaces with periodic density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Ru-Cu(1 1 1) surface is modeled as Cu(1 1 1) monolayer totally covering the Ru(0 0 0 1) surface underneath, in accordance with the literature. It is shown that the Ru-Cu(1 1 1) surface is ineffective for propylene oxide formation since it has a lower energy barrier (0.48 eV) for the stripping of the allylic hydrogen of propylene and a higher energy barrier (0.92 ...
