Fe3O4 催化剂的小数量被知道实质地改进吸附和解吸附作用热力学和基于 Mg 的材料的动力学。用密度在有用肘轻推的有弹性的乐队方法的联合的功能的理论,纯、做 Fe 的 Mg (0001 ) 表面上的氢的分离化学吸着被学习。吸附精力计算显示出那一微弱地,在纯、做 Fe 的 Mg 表面原子上面的 physisorbed 状态能用作一个先锋状态到分离化学吸着。然后, H2 的分离小径和相对障碍被调查。纯 Mg (0001 ) 表面上的氢分子的计算分离障碍(1.08 eV ) 在对可比较的试验性、理论的研究的好同意。为做 Fe 的 Mg (0001 ) 表面,激活的障碍由于在 H 和 Fe 轨道的 d 轨道的 s 之间的强壮的相互作用减少到 0.101 eV。
A small amount of Fe3O4 catalyst is known to substantially improve the adsorption and desorption thermodynamics and kinetics of Mg-based materials, Using density functional theory in combination with nudged elastic band method, the dissociative chemisorptions of hydrogen on both pure and Fe-doped Mg(0001) surfaces were studied. The adsorption energy calculations show that a weakly physisorbed state above pure and Fe-doped Mg surface atoms can serve as a precursor state to dissociative chemisorption. Then, the dissociation pathway of H2 and the relative barrier were investigated. The calculated dissociation barrier (1.08 eV) of hydrogen molecule on a pure Mg(0001) surface is in good agreement with comparable experimental and theoretical studies. For the Fe-doped Mg(0001) surface, the activated barrier decreases to 0.101 eV due to the strong interaction between the s orbital of H and the d orbital of Fe.
