Journal ArticleDOI

Alkali promotion of N-2 dissociation over Ru(0001)

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that adsorbed Na and Cs lower the barrier for dissociation of N2 on Ru(0001) using self-consistent density functional calculations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Indirect, reversible high-density hydrogen storage in compact metal ammine salts.

TL;DR: Density functional theory calculations reproduce trends in desorption enthalpies for the systems studied, and a mechanism in which individual chains of the ammines are released from the surface of the crystal is proposed to explain the fast absorption/desorption processes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structure sensitivity of CO dissociation on Rh surfaces

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the barrier for CO dissociation is ≃120 kJ/mol lower on the stepped Rh(211) surface than on the close-packed Rh(111) surface.
Journal ArticleDOI

A density functional study of the chemical differences between Type I and Type II MoS2-based structures in hydrotreating catalysts.

TL;DR: The present results show that the differences in activities for MoS2 and Co-Mo-S structures can be attributed to the electronic and bonding differences introduced by the bridging O bonds, and find that the Mo-O linkages are most probably located on the (1010) S edge.
Journal ArticleDOI

Activity and Selectivity Trends in Synthesis Gas Conversion to Higher Alcohols

TL;DR: In this article, a mean-field micro-kinetic model for the formation of ethanol via CHxCO coupling is used along with a descriptor-based analysis to gain insight into the fundamental factors determining activity and selectivity on transition-metal surfaces.
