Dissociative adsorption of H-2 on clean FeTi (001), (110) and (111) surfaces is investigated via ab initio pseudopotential-plane wave method. Adsorption energies of H atom and H-2 molecule on Fe and Ti terminated (001) and (111) and FeTi (110) surfaces are calculated on high symmetry adsorption sites. It is shown that, top site is the most stable site for horizontal H-2 molecule adsorption on (001) and (111) surfaces for both terminations. The most favorable site for H atom adsorption on these surfaces however, is the bridge site. In (110) surface, the 3-fold hollow site which is composed of a long Ti-Ti bridge and an Fe atom, (Ti-Ti)(L)-Fe, and again a 3-fold hollow site this time composed of a short Ti-Ti bridge and an Fe atom, (Ti-Ti)(S)-Fe, are the most stable sites for H-2 and H adsorption, respectively. With the analysis of the above favorable adsorption sites, probable dissociation paths for H-2 molecule over these surfaces are proposed. Activation energies of these dissociations are also determined with the use of the dynamics of the H-2 relaxation and climbing image nudged elastic band method. It is found that H-2 dissociation on (110) and Fe terminated (111) surfaces has no activation energy barrier. On other surfaces however, activation energies are calculated to be 0.178 and 0.190 eV per H-2 molecule for Fe and Ti terminated (001) surfaces respectively, and 1.164 eV for Ti terminated (111) surface.

An ONIOM and DFT Study of Water and Ammonia Adsorption on Anatase TiO2 (001) Cluster

Erdogan, Rezan; Önal, Işık (2011-08-05)

Density functional theory (DFT) calculations at ONIOM DFT B3LYP/6-31G**-MD/UFF level are employed to study molecular and dissociative water and ammonia adsorption on anatase TiO2 (001) surface represented by partially relaxed Ti20O35 ONIOM cluster. DFT calculations indicate that water molecule is dissociated on anatase TiO2 (001) surface by a nonactivated process with an exothermic relative energy difference of 58.12 kcal/mol. Dissociation of ammonia molecule on the same surface is energetically more favora...
An ONIOM and DFT Study of Water Adsorption on Rutile TiO2 (110) Cluster

Erdogan, Rezan; Fellah, Mehmet Ferdi; Önal, Işık (2011-01-01)

Density functional theory (DFT) calculations performed at ONIOM DFT B3LYP/6-31G**-MD/UFF level are employed to study molecular and dissociative water adsorption on rutile TiO2 (110) surface represented by partially relaxed Ti25O37 ONIOM cluster. DFT calculations indicate that dissociative water adsorption is not favorable because of high activation barrier (23.2 kcal/mol). The adsorption energy and vibration frequency of both molecularly and dissociatively adsorbed water molecule on rutile TiO2 (110) surfac...
Direct synthesis of hydrogen storage alloys from their oxides Tan, Serdar; Öztürk, Tayfur; Aydınol, Mehmet Kadri; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2011) The aim of this study is the synthesis of hydrogen storage compounds by electrodeoxidation technique which offers an inexpensive and rapid route to synthesize compounds from oxide mixtures. Within the scope of this study, two hydrogen storage compounds, FeTi and Mg2Ni, are aimed to be produced by this technique. In the first part, effect of sintering conditions on synthesis of FeTi was studied. For this purpose, oxide pellets made out of Fe2O3-TiO2 powders were sintered at temperatures between 900 °C – 1300...
Multiscale Modeling of the Morphology and Properties of Segmented Silicone-Urea Copolymers Yıldırım, Erol; Yurtsever, Ersin; Yilgor, Iskender; Yilgor, Emel (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2011-9-9) Molecular dynamics and mesoscale dynamics simulation techniques were used to investigate the effect of hydrogen bonding on the microphase separation, morphology and various physicochemical properties of segmented silicone-urea copolymers. Model silicone-urea copolymers investigated were based on the stoichiometric combinations of alpha,omega-aminopropyl terminated polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) oligomers with number average molecular weights ranging from 700 to 15,000 g/mole and bis(4-isocyanatocyclohexyl)meth...
A comparative study of spectrophotometric and iodometric back titration methods for hydrogen sulfide determination in anoxic basins Basturk, O; Romanov, A; Gokmen, S; Konovalov, S (2000-01-01) Iodometric Back Titration (TBT) and Spectrophotometric (SPM) methods are two common methods used in the determination of hydrogen sulfide concentrations in anoxic basins, like in the upper sections of the Black Sea anoxic waters. Although the results obtained by both methods are in agreement when the concentrations of sulfide are higher than 30 mu M/l, IBT analysis gives more reproducible results compared to SPM analysis. On the other hand, the reproducibility of the SPM is better than that of IBT method wh...
