Insight into adsorption of various species on Au (100): A DFT study

Research output: Contribution to conferencePaperpeer-review

Abstract

Density functional theory (DFT) together with periodic slab models have been employed to investigate the adsorption of various species (H, O, N, S, C, H2O, OH, H2S, HS, H2) on Au (100) at 0.25 ML coverage. For each species, the adsorption energies and optimal adsorption sites were obtained. For atoms, it was found that O, S, C and N atoms prefer to adsorb on the hollow site, whereas atomic H swerves to the bridge site. The adsorption energies exhibited the following trend: H < O < N < S < C. For molecules, it was found that H2O, H2S and H2 are apt to adsorb on the top site, while OH and HS occupy the bridge site. The adsorption energies revealed the following trend: H2 < H2O < H2S < HO < HS.
