By means of density functional theory computations, we examine the stability and CO oxidation activity of single Ru on CeO (111), TiO (110) and Al O (001) surfaces. The heterogeneous system Ru /CeO has very high stability, as indicated by the strong binding energies and high diffusion barriers of a single Ru atom on the ceria support, while the Ru atom is rather mobile on TiO (110) and Al O (001) surfaces and tends to form clusters, excluding these systems from having a high efficiency per Ru atom. The Ru /CeO exhibits good catalytic activity for CO oxidation via the Langmuir-Hinshelwood mechanism, thus is a promising single-atom catalyst.
通过密度泛函理论计算,我们研究了单个Ru在CeO(111)、TiO(110)和AlO(001)表面上的稳定性和CO氧化活性。异质体系Ru/CeO具有非常高的稳定性,这表现为单个Ru原子在二氧化铈载体上具有很强的结合能和高扩散势垒,而Ru原子在TiO(110)和AlO(001)表面上相当易移动并倾向于形成团簇,这使得这些体系无法具有高的单Ru原子效率。Ru/CeO通过朗缪尔-欣谢尔伍德机制对CO氧化表现出良好的催化活性,因此是一种有前景的单原子催化剂。
