N2O decomposition on Fe- and Co-ZSM-5: A density functional study

2008-09-30
Fellah, Mehmet Ferdi
Önal, Işık
Density functional theory (DFT) calculations are employed to study N2O decomposition on relaxed [(SiH3)(4)AlO4M] (where M = Fe, Co) cluster models representing Fe- and Co-ZSM-5 surfaces and Fe-ZSM-5 channel cluster. The catalytic cycle steps are completed both for Fe- and Co-ZSM-5 clusters. It is found that the general trend of the results obtained is in agreement with experimental and theoretical literature: Co-ZSM-5 has a lower activation energy barrier than Fe-ZSM-5 and O-2 desorption step is the rate-limiting step for both clusters. The activation barrier for the decomposition of the first N2O molecule inside a Fe-ZSM-5 channel cluster increases in comparison with that of the cluster model indicating a channel effect on the activation barrier. The activation barrier reported for the channel cluster is 12.63 kcal/mol. This is also in good agreement with experimental literature.

A density functional theory study of oxidation of benzene to phenol by N2O on Fe- and Co-ZSM-5 clusters
Fellah, Mehmet Ferdi; Önal, Işık (2009-06-01)
Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were carried out in the study of oxidation of benzene to phenol by N2O on relaxed [(SiH3)(4)AlO4M] (where M=Fe, Co) cluster models representing Fe- and Co-ZSM-5 surfaces. The catalytic cycle steps are completed for both Fe-ZSM-5 and Co-ZSM-5 clusters. The general trend of the results that were obtained in terms of activation barriers for the Fe-ZSM-5 cluster is in agreement with the experimental and theoretical literature. It was observed that the phenol formatio...
Direct Methane Oxidation to Methanol by N2O on Fe- and Co-ZSM-5 Clusters with and without Water: A Density Functional Theory Study
Fellah, Mehmet Ferdi; Önal, Işık (2010-02-25)
Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were carried Out ill a Study of oxidation of methane to methanol by N2O on the Fe- and Co-ZSM-5 clusters. The catalytic cycle steps have been Studied oil model Clusters ((SiH3)(4)AlO4M) (where M = Fe, Co). Calculations indicate very low methanol selectivity Without water and increasing rate of methanol formation with water. These results are in qualitative agreement with the experimental literature. The methanol formation step is also found to be the rate-limitin...
C-H bond activation of methane on M- and MO-ZSM-5 (M = Ag, Au, Cu, Rh and Ru) clusters: A density functional theory study
Fellah, Mehmet Ferdi; Önal, Işık (2011-08-10)
Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were carried out in a study of C-H bond activation of methane on [(SiH3)(4)AlO4(M, MO)] (where M = Ag, Au, Cu, Rh and Ru) cluster models representing ZSM-5 surfaces. The following activity order of clusters with respect to their activation barriers could be qualitatively classified: Au >> Rh > Cu = Ru > Ag for metal-ZSM-5 clusters and Ag > Cu > Au >> Rh > Ru for Metal-O-ZSM-5 clusters. Therefore, activation barriers based on transition state calculations showed t...

A detailed comparison between measured energy spectra and cross sections of H-1, H-2, H-3, and He-4, evaporated from the composite system 96Ru (E* congruent-to 113 MeV), and the predictions of the statistical model, has been carried out. Results obtained with transmission coefficients derived from optical model (OM), ingoing-wave boundary-condition model (IWBCM) and fusion systematics (FS) are presented. The best overall description of the data is obtained using IWBCM transmission coefficients, with reduced...
Thermo-Elastic and Lattice Dynamical Properties of Pd3X (X = Ti, Zr, Hf) Alloys: An Ab Initio Study
Sürücü, Gökhan; Colakoglu, K.; ÇİFTCİ, YASEMİN; Ozisik, H. B.; Deligoz, E. (2015-12-01)
Using the generalized-gradient approximation (GGA) based on density functional theory, we have reported the structural, mechanical, electronic, and lattice dynamical properties of the intermetallic compounds Pd3X (X = Ti, Zr, Hf) with D0(24) and the L1(2) structures. The elastic constants were predicted using the stress-finite strain technique. We performed numerical estimations of the bulk modulus, shear modulus, Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio anisotropy factor, G/B ratio, and hardness. Our studies have ...
